Everything went smooth,” Paul wrote on X. “Thanks for all the love. Lots of pain and stiffness. Got to eat liquids for seven days. “Shoutout to the amazing team at Miami University Hospital. Everyone was so gracious and caring.”Despite the knockout loss, one that was expected from the larger Joshua, Paul put on a decent showing for himself, proving hard to pin down as the shorter and evasive man in the first few rounds.The former Disney Channel star said he was proud of his resilient display after the fight, one he and Joshua reportedly earned an eye-watering £70m from.“That was crazy, I had a blast, I’m blessed by God to put on a performance like this. Anthony is a great fighter, I got my arse beat. But I’ll come back and keep winning,” Paul said after spitting blood in the ring.“I’ve already won in every single way in life, my family, my jaw is broken by the way, it’s definitely broke, nice little arse whooping from one of the best to ever do it.“Honestly, I’m not surprised, I just got tired, so much handling his weight, I think with better cardio, I could’ve kept fighting. I did my personal best.Enjoy 185+ fights a year on DAZN, the Global Home of BoxingNever miss a fight from top promoters. Watch on your devices anywhere, anytime.Buy NowADVERTISEMENT.
