Jake Paul has given seven different excuses for his recent decision loss to arch-nemesis Tommy Fury. In the immediate aftermath of the fight, Paul claimed an arm injury and a bout of flu contributed to his downfall and has now added five new excuses to the list.
Speaking during a recent appearance on his brother Logan’s podcast, Impaulsive, The Problem Child affirmed that the loss was down to his camp being too short, an improper weight cut, weak legs, and the fact that he didn’t implement his game plan properly.
“Everything. Tommy didn’t win the fight, I lost it. I was not good, I was not on my A game, I did not implement the gameplan, my legs were weak going into the fight,” said Paul.
“I think I cut the weight improperly for a seven-week camp, normally we do 12-week camps because I’m behind the eight-ball, I’ve got to catch up with these guys, I’ve got to be extra sharp, we squeezed in this camp. Bro, I don’t even want to sit here and make excuses, I lost the fight, I wasn’t at my best and it’s that simple.”
Paul has claimed that he was at 70 per cent on the night and is keen to run it back with his fierce rival. The ex-Disney actor intends to activate the rematch clause in his contract with Fury and is expected to do so in the coming weeks.
Esteemed boxing insider Mike Coppinger reports that the second fight is being targeted for July. No location has been disclosed as of yet although it is likely the grudge match will return to Saudi Arabia given the success of the event and the massive purses both fighters received.
