Jake Paul appeared to flaunt his earnings from his defeat by Anthony Joshua as he jetted out of Miami after undergoing surgery to repair his broken jaw in the wake of his £140million ($187.5million) blockbuster showdown.

The Problem Child survived six rounds in Florida against the heavyweight former world champion before he was swatted aside with a brutal knockout blow which left him fearing he had fractured his jaw.

After driving to hospital in the aftermath of the fight, Paul then learned that he would be fitted with two titanium plates and have several teeth removed – and be forced to undergo a liquid diet for seven days after the surgery.

But on Sunday, Paul seemed to have recovered enough to return home, sharing a snapshot of his atypical journey out of the Sunshine State to Instagram.

‘The American Dream (US flag emoji),’ the former YouTuber captioned the image. ‘Start yours today. Believe in it.

‘Fail. Work. Fail. Learn. Fail. Don’t ever stop.’

The ex-YouTuber had been sent to hospital immediately after his fight after breaking his jaw

The 28-year-old posed on the private jet surrounded by thick bundles of hundred-dollar bills and five guns, plus one gold firearm he held in the same hand as a lit cigar.

The seats on the plane were swathed with luxury blankets by French fashion house Hermes, and at the other end of the cabin large Louis Vuitton shopping bags were piled on top of each other.

In the second image featured in the carousel, Paul chose a picture of himself as a young boy.

Before heading to hospital, the American fighter, despite spitting blood following the knockout, shared during his in-ring interview: ‘I’m feeling good, that was fun, I love this sport.’

Paul later posted a photo of his x-ray confirming a double fracture to his jaw. He also shared a series of graphic images and videos on his Instagram account which appeared to show a shift in his jaw – with plenty of blood dripping down his face.

The former cruiserweight has since confirmed he would take a break from the sport but planned a shot at the cruiserweight world title.

‘I’m going to take a little break. I’ve been going hard for six years. I’ll take some time off. This is amazing,’ he said. ‘We will heal the broken jaw, come back and fight people my weight.’

Paul added: ‘Anthony Joshua is a great fighter, I got beat but that’s what this sport is about. I will come back and keep on winning.

‘I’ve already won in every single way of life. My family, my beautiful fiancée his sport has helped me so much in my life.’
