Jake’s Return. Promoter Reveals Possible Timeline

The promoter of American boxer and influencer Jake Paul, Nakisa Bidarian, spoke about when the American might return to the ring.

“He feels good.

Of course, during the day there are periods of strong pain and periods when there is no pain. Actually, recovery will last 5-6 weeks. And he is determined to return to boxing in 2026. This is the sport he loves. This is the sport that saved him from the path he was once on.

As strange as it sounds, I am to some extent glad that he didn't win. I know it might sound harsh, but imagine: if Jake Paul in five years in the sport, and actually in three to three and a half years at the level of top opponents, defeated Anthony Joshua? What would be the motivation to continue progressing, putting even more into training, working even harder? If he defeated Anthony Joshua?” said Bidarian.

Jake was knocked out in the 6th round of the bout against Joshua. Later, he was operated on due to a double jaw fracture.
