YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has explained why he lost to British heavyweight Anthony Joshua, admitting that fatigue and poor cardio played a major role in his defeat.
Jake Paul made the remarks after their fight in Miami on Friday, where he endured six rounds against the two-time heavyweight champion.
The 28-year-old American was knocked down four times during the bout and later confirmed that he fractured his jawin the process.
Speaking in his post-fight interview, Paul praised Joshua’s performance and punching power, while acknowledging his own physical limitations.
“My jaw is definitely broken. But man, that was good,” Paul said. “I love this, so I will come back and get a world championship belt at some point. I’m not surprised I lasted that long against Joshua — I just got tired.
“It was just so much handling his weight. If I had better cardio, I could’ve maybe kept on fighting. But he did amazing, and he hits really hard.”
Despite the loss, Jake Paul insisted he remains committed to boxing and is confident of returning stronger in future fights.
