Jake Paul explains why loss to bitter rival Tommy Fury is a "gift from the universe"

Jake Paul has insisted his loss to Tommy Fury is a win in all other aspects of his life.

Paul, 26, suffered his first professional defeat when he was outpointed by Love Island star Fury last month in Saudi Arabia. The YouTuber-turned-boxer scored a knockdown in the final round but it wasn't enough as Fury won by split decision to earn himself a spot in the WBC rankings. 'The Problem Child' initially praised Fury for being the better man after the fight, but has now backtracked by claiming that the Brit "didn't win".

The loss has made Paul realise that his unbeaten boxing record has little importance to his other life goals, stating on Impaulsive: "This is a gift from universe in terms of life and personal growth as a human being, then this is a win. I want to be happy, love myself and have eternal confidence regardless of any situation.
