Jake Paul says 'baby fever' has hit as boxer steps away to recover from injury

Jake Paul talks to Fox News Digital about the legitimacy of his fight against Tank Davis, legal threats against critics, and being engaged to an Olympic gold hopeful.

Jake Paul offered a glimpse into how he intends to spend his recovery time away from the boxing ring.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer suffered a broken jaw in last week’s knockout loss to former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The bout was carried live by streaming service Netflix.

During his recovery, Paul will focus on supporting his fiancée, Olympic speed skater Jutta Leerdam, as she ramps up for next year’s Winter Games. He also admitted he is developing a serious case of "baby fever."

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

"Then she’s gonna move to Puerto Rico. Move her here. Maybe go snowboarding or something," he added. Paul said the surgery to address his injury required four plates and eight screws to be inserted into his jaw.

Paul then revealed he hopes his family soon welcomes some new additions, saying, "I have such baby fever. Like I want kids so bad."
