JAKE PAUL has claimed Tommy Fury “didn’t win the fight” but he instead “lost it” due to a certain number of reasons.
Fury returned home from Saudi Arabia with bragging rights and his unbeaten record after edging the celebrity grudge match on points.
Jake Paul was beaten by Tommy Fury on points
But Paul has come out swinging in defence of his first ever loss and insisted the result is solely down to his shortcomings in the ring that night.
He said on his brother’s podcast: “Tommy didn’t win the fight, I lost it.
“I was not good, I was not on my A-game. I didn’t implement the gameplan, my legs were weak going into the fight.
“I think I cut the weight improperly in such like a seven-week camp as normally we do a 12-week camp.
“We squeezed in this camp, but I don’t want to sit here and make excuses. I lost the fight, I wasn’t at my best and it’s that simple.”
Paul, 26, saw a point deducted in round five due to punches in the back of the head.
Fury, 23, was also docked a point in the sixth for holding and was floored in the final round but still won a split-decision.
Paul stepped up to face a recognised professional boxer for the first time in his seven-bout career and admitted he felt the occasion.
He said: “I think a little bit of pressure is good but I had a lot of pressure and the stakes kept getting higher and higher each fight.
“Now there is definitely more relaxation going into the next one. A lot of things played into the [loss], even getting a point deducted in the beginning of the fight.
“I don’t know, it’s the hardest sport in the world and you have to have a peak moment.
“You’re only able to show up in that one moment on that one night. Whatever you’re feeling then you can’t really fake it.
“I was flat, very very flat. I beat him like eight to nine times out of ten, this just happened one of those times. He stepped up to the plate.”
Paul is set to exercise his rematch clause amid rumours of a sequel after the first fight sold around 775,000 pay-per-views.
He said: “I don’t see where there is not a reason to run it back at some point.
“The business side of it was massive, it was one of the biggest events in boxing in recent years. It’ll probably be the biggest fight of this year, it’s massive.”

Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. Boxers can take many different stances. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Sparring
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
