Jake Paul has blamed a wet dream he had the night before his fight against Tommy Fury for his loss to the Love Island star.
Paul, 26, lost a split decision to bitter rival Fury in their grudge fight last month in Saudi Arabia, despite the YouTuber-turned-boxer scoring a knockdown in the final round. 'The Problem Child' revealed he struggled with illness during his training camp and was thrown off by having a wet dream the night before the fight.
"Do you think your wet dream played a part in it at all? I do want to talk about it," Jake's brother Logan asked him on Impaulsive. "I know you didn't want to because mum said 'Jake had a wet dream the night before his fight'. I sparked up and said 'No f****ng way, I had a wet dream the day of the KSI fight.'

"Dude, our lives really do run so parallel and I know in boxing terms you were building your batch. Essentially what you do is you don't release in order to build up that testosterone in your body to make you angry." Paul then admitted he panicked when waking up in the night after spending two weeks from abstaining sex before the fight, a practice commonly used amongst fighters.
"I literally woke up in a panic like 'F***'. Right after you wake up and jolt out of it," Paul said. "You have two weeks of testosterone build up and the reason a wet dream happens is because your body needs to release that energy and yeah, I f***ed myself. That's why it's bad is because it makes your legs weak, because the sperm is stored in your legs.
"It has something to do with the neurological connection of that you did exactly what you were put on this earth to do. You become relaxed and oxytocin goes through your body so you get sort of lackadaisical. If you notice when fighters are about to get knocked out their legs start jumping all over the place, that's because your head and legs are connected."
Paul admitted his wet dream was "one of many reasons" that he lost, with his brother Logan admitting that he was "mentally destroyed" when the same thing happened to him before fighting KSI. Paul is eager on avenging his loss to Fury before setting up a grudge fight against YouTube rival KSI, with a rematch between the rivals being targeted for July.
