Famous American YouTuber Jake Paul has admitted he is uncertain whether he will be able to return to professional boxing again, following injuries sustained in his fight against Anthony Joshua, a former world heavyweight champion from the United Kingdom, in December 2025. During the bout, Paul was dominated throughout before being knocked out in the sixth round. He subsequently suffered a jaw fracture in two places, resulting in the loss of some teeth and the need for two titanium plates to stabilize the jawbone. Paul stated: "I have another jaw checkup scheduled to monitor my recovery progress, which should help me establish a clearer timeline for my return to the ring, or even determine if I can fight professionally again at all. My boxing future depends on how well my jaw heals, not to mention the issue of a missing tooth that I'll likely need to replace with a prosthetic or something similar. I'm unsure how long these procedures will take, but we need to choose the best path forward."

A hot-headed motorcycle rider has been arrested for stabbing a car driver to death following a minor traffic collision. The incident occurred when Chalermkiart Praphasat, 39, was driving a black Honda Civic with his wife from a Forest Department residence in Nonthaburi's Muang district when the vehicle scraped against a motorcycle driven by Veeraphat, 22. After both parties exited their vehicles to discuss the matter, a verbal argument ensued. Veeraphat then stabbed Chalermkiart once beneath the left rib, causing fatal injuries. Chalermkiart died en route to Phra Nang Klao Hospital.

Veeraphat initially fled the scene but was tracked down by investigators from Muang Nonthaburi Police Station and apprehended in front of his father-in-law's house in Chon Buri's Bang Lamung district around 10 p.m. on May 12. He was charged with causing death by assault and carrying a concealed weapon in public.

During questioning, Veeraphat admitted to stabbing the victim but claimed self-defense. He stated that on the day of the incident, he was running errands before heading home to buy pork for his mother. He alleged that after the argument, the car driver suddenly grabbed a hammer from his vehicle and struck him first, causing wounds to his head that required stitches, as well as injuries to his shoulder, arm, and leg. Veeraphat claimed he only stabbed once in self-defense, as he felt threatened for his life and didn't intend to kill. He acknowledged carrying a small pocket knife, approximately 3 inches long, for self-protection due to previous dangerous encounters. Investigators are continuing to gather evidence before forwarding the case for prosecution and detention.
