Jake Paul Faces Recovery Hurdle After Joshua Loss, Targets 2027 Comeback.
American boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul has revealed that his comeback has been delayed due to complications from the jaw injury he sustained against Anthony Joshua, requiring a second surgery.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Paul suffered a double jaw fracture during his sixth-round stoppage loss to Joshua in December at the Kaseya Center in Miami. He had hoped to return to training later this year, but recovery has taken an unexpected turn.
Speaking at a news conference for Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, Paul said the titanium plates and screws from his first operation had loosened, prompting corrective surgery in February.
“I recently had my second surgery. The doctor said it will take four to six months before I can spar and check how the bone is healing. That pushes a potential fight to late this year or early next year,” Paul explained.
The setback means the 27-year-old could remain out of the ring well into 2027 if rehabilitation follows the expected timeline.
Paul also confirmed he would no longer pursue heavyweight fights, noting that Joshua’s punching power was far beyond what he faced in lighter divisions. His next bout, whenever it happens, is expected at cruiserweight.
“Joshua’s punches hit much harder than anyone in my weight class. Cruiserweight is where I’m strongest and where I want to climb the rankings and make statements,” he said.
Meanwhile, Joshua is also recovering from his own setback. According to Naija News, the former world champion has been undergoing rehabilitation after a car crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on December 29 that killed his close friends, trainer Kevin Ayodele, and long-time recovery therapist Sina Ghami.
The British-Nigerian fighter is receiving intensive treatment for rib injuries, with promoter Eddie Hearn aiming for his return to the ring in July.
Nigerian singer Chike Ezekpeazu has revealed that he is not currently interested in getting married, although he already envisions having a daughter in the future.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Reports indicate that he made the disclosure during an interview with Chude, where he spoke about his views on relationships and his approach to meeting and understanding women.
The singer explained that he often pays attention to a woman’s upbringing, particularly whether she grew up with her father present in the home, saying it is one of the factors he considers when getting to know someone.
According to him, the presence of a father during childhood can significantly influence how relationships develop later in life, and this belief shapes some of the questions he asks women he meets.
Chike added that one of his early questions in conversations with women often relates to their relationship with their father.
In his words, he said he is not planning to walk down the aisle anytime soon but already knows he wants a daughter. He also explained that he believes women who grow up without a father figure may sometimes experience challenges in their romantic relationships, which is why he tends to ask about it early on.
His comments come amid ongoing online discussions linking him to rumours involving media personality Frank Edoho and his former wife, Sandra Onyenucheya.

“Emotional Scene!” – Uche Jombo Storms Alexx Ekubo’s Home To Comfort His Wife After His Passing.
Nollywood actress Uche Jombo has assured the wife of late actor Alexx Ekubo that she will not be left alone following his passing.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Reports indicate that the actress shared the update on Instagram, revealing that she joined close friends and colleagues in visiting Alexx’s home, where they spent time with his wife and reflected on memories of the late actor.
She noted that the gathering was deeply emotional, with moments of grief mixed with laughter as those present recounted Alexx’s personality, his impact, and the memories they shared with him while he was alive.
According to Uche Jombo, Alexx Ekubo lived a very intentional life and was known for careful planning and meaningful relationships. She said attendees spoke about the lessons, conversations, and love he shared with them over the years.
She added that she believes the late actor is now at peace and free from suffering, while reassuring his wife that she would continue to receive support from his close friends and colleagues.
In her words, she described the moment as both painful and comforting, noting that even in grief, there was a sense of celebration of the life he lived.
Controversial relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has reacted angrily to social media users who mocked her and suggested that her life should be exchanged for that of Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that Alex Ekubo reportedly passed away on May 11, 2026, after complications arising from advanced metastatic kidney cancer.
Following the news of his death, some users flooded Blessing CEO’s Instagram page with insulting comments, with a few suggesting that she should have died instead of the actor.
In a video shared on her social media page, Blessing CEO condemned the remarks, describing them as cruel and insensitive, especially given the circumstances of the actor’s death.
She questioned what she described as public hypocrisy, where people show sympathy only after someone dies but often attack and bully them while they are alive.
“How do you people sympathize with the de@d but b#lly the living? Each time someone passes away and I see how people become suddenly sympathetic, I’m always surprised. If you read the comments people make when the person is alive, you’ll be shocked. Some people were even saying things like ‘God should take Blessing CEO and give us Alexx Ekubo.’ God will punish u all!
“And for those saying his family kept everything off social media, if his pictures had been posted while he was sick, the same people would still have mocked him and said all sorts of things,” she said.
The backlash against Blessing CEO is linked to a past controversy in March, when she falsely claimed she was battling stage 4 cancer and also made claims involving the medical records of a cancer survivor.
The incident sparked widespread criticism and calls for her arrest over what many described as a fabricated story.
