Jake Paul gave an insight into how he plans to spend his recovery time away from the ring.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer suffered a broken jaw in last week’s knockout loss to former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The match was carried live by the streaming service Netflix.
During his recovery, Paul will focus on supporting his fiancee, Olympic figure skater Jutta Leerdam, as she moves up to next year’s Winter Games. He also admitted that he is developing a serious case of “baby fever”.

“I’m taking some time off to support [his fiancée] Jutta [Leerdam] at the Olympics,” Paul said earlier this week when asked about his near-term future plans during a sit-down on his older brother Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast.

“Then she moves to Puerto Rico. Move her here. Maybe go snowboarding or something,” he added. Paul said the operation to correct his injury required four plates and eight screws to be inserted into his jaw.

Paul then revealed that he hopes his family will welcome some new additions soon, saying: “I have such baby fever. Like I want kids so badly.”
The 28-year-old and the Dutch speed skater met after Paul reached out to Leerdam on social media and invited her to appear on his podcast in 2022. The couple announced their engagement in March.

“We are engaged, we can’t wait to spend forever together,” Paul captioned a series of photos in a March 22 Instagram post.
Joshua knocked out Paul in the sixth round of last week’s fight in Miami.
