Sky Sports Champions League •

Jake Paul expects to return to boxing later this year after recovering from a broken jaw sustained in his shock heavyweight bout against Anthony Joshua. The social media influencer-turned-prizefighter managed to go six rounds with the former world champion before the injury forced him out of action.

Paul has already earned a fortune from his boxing career but insists the injury hasn't deterred him from making a comeback. He told Sky Sports he's 'probably pretty crazy' but believes there's more for him to accomplish in the ring. The American is targeting a return in November or December, though he admits he's still unable to take punches during recovery.

The 27-year-old is no longer interested in a rematch with Tommy Fury, calling negotiations 'daft' and saying 'no one's heard of Tommy Fury.' Instead, Paul is promoting an MMA event and claims he's 'serious' about potentially fighting unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk in a mixed martial arts contest.
