Jake Paul returned to the scene of his most humiliating defeat.
The boxer showed up where Anthony Joshua destroyed him just one month ago.
And this moment during the college football playoff championship where Donald Trump and Jake Paul discussed the fighters recovery from a brutal knockout spoke volumes.
Jake Paul Touched His Jaw While Talking To Trump And What He Told The President Left No Doubt About His Recovery
Jake Paul made his way into President Trump's luxury suite at Hard Rock Stadium on Monday night during the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The cameras captured the exact moment Paul discussed what he went through after that devastating sixth-round knockout.
Trump knows combat sports inside and out.
The President is a longtime fan of boxing and the UFC who's followed the Paul brothers' careers closely.

Paul clearly wanted to update Trump personally on the surgery and recovery process.
Doctors had to insert two titanium plates on each side of Paul's jaw the morning after Joshua knocked him cold.
Some teeth were removed during the emergency procedure.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer spent seven days on a liquid-only diet while the fractured jaw healed.
Trump listened as Paul explained the recovery timeline during their suite conversation.
The President gave Paul his attention despite being surrounded by celebrities and dignitaries all night.
Trump Drew Massive Cheers While Stars Lined Up For Face Time
The crowd at Hard Rock Stadium erupted when Trump appeared on the jumbotron during the national anthem.
Thunderous applause rang out as the President stood and waved to 67,000 fans.
The reception proved once again that Florida is Trump country no matter what the fake news media claims.
Trump was joined in his suite by daughter Ivanka and granddaughter Kai throughout Indiana's 27-21 victory over Miami.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio hit the sidelines before kickoff.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and UFC CEO Dana White were also spotted at the game.
The stars came out in force because they wanted to be near the President.
Tom Brady, Fat Joe, Lil Uzi Vert, and Michael Irvin all attended the championship game.
Everyone wanted face time with Trump.
Paul made the most of his opportunity by chopping it up with ESPN's Pat McAfee on the field before kickoff.
He roasted McAfee's wardrobe in classic Jake Paul fashion.
The boxer was pulling for Miami since the game was in his adopted home city but also liked Indiana because of his Midwest ties.
Paul Proves The Knockout Didn't Break His Spirit
Jake Paul showing up at Hard Rock Stadium took guts.
This was the same town where Anthony Joshua knocked him down four times and handed him his first knockout loss.
The British fighter dominated from start to finish.
Joshua out-landed him 48 punches to 16 in a complete mismatch.
Critics called the fight a dangerous publicity stunt before it happened.
They were proven right when Joshua's power sent Paul's jaw breaking in two places.
Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian said doctors projected a four-to-six-week recovery timeline.
That means Paul could be cleared to resume training by late January or early February.
Paul has already hinted at returning to the ring in 2026.
He said he learned a lot from the beating and plans to fight closer to his natural weight around 200 pounds instead of staying at heavyweight.
The jump in weight class cost him dearly against one of boxing's elite punchers.
But Paul briefing Trump on his recovery shows the knockout didn't break his spirit.
He's already back in Miami making appearances and stirring up controversy.
Trump giving Paul time in his suite proved the President still supports the fighter even after taking a brutal beating from a legitimate heavyweight champion.
