Jake Paul has insisted his defeat by Tommy Fury had nothing to do with his rival's ability.
Paul was narrowly beaten by his British foe when the pair clashed in Saudi Arabia last weekend, losing on split-decision despite dropping Fury in the final round. Paul later revealed he had struggled with illness during his training camp - and has now doubled down on his claim.
Asked by his brother Logan why he lost, Paul said: "Lots of reasons; I was sick for four weeks out of this nine-week camp and the was travelling, jet-lagged for another week of that. That's what's p***ing me off the most, it had nothing to do with him, it had everything to do with me. He wasn't that great at all, I think Anderson was tougher than him and I figured out that puzzle. He threw a lot of punches, that was his biggest thing."
