Jake Paul: ‘I got sick really bad twice,’ injured arm prior to first loss vs. Tommy Fury

Paul (6-1) suffered his first boxing loss Sunday in Saudi Arabia when he came out on the wrong end of 74-75, 76-73 and 76-73 scorecards against his rival Fury (9-0). It was a competitive fight, but heavy referee involvement and point deductions for both men interrupted the flow.

Two of three judges went against him, and even though he accepted the result, Paul’s immediate reaction was that it wasn’t accurate.
