Jake Paul claims that he won two rounds in his fight against Anthony Joshua.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was knocked out in the sixth round of last week’s bout by the former heavyweight world champion but feels that he troubled the British fighter during the contest.
Speaking to his brother Logan Paul on their Impaulsive podcast, Jake said: “It’s not that hard to get your a** beat.
“I won two rounds then he won two, then I got dropped.
“But I was doing good, my cardio, just the mental pressure of the big guy, and sparring the big people is different than the 10oz gloves so I was feeling his power a lot more.
“It was a great experience, I learnt a lot in there.”
The social media star added: “I wish I had more than like three weeks to put on more muscle so I could really hit him. My biggest mistake was not doing altitude training.
“I see where I could have done better so I’m a little disappointed but I also know how good he is. I had him wobbled at one point, but he had his hands up better this fight.”
Paul’s jaw was broken in two places by Joshua during the fight and his opponent’s promoter Eddie Hearn has suggested that it could spell the end of his career in the ring.
Responding to claims that the bout was fixed, the Matchroom chief told The Ariel Helwani Show: “You do know that he’s broken his jaw in two places?
“He may never be able to fight again. People just think, ‘Oh, you just get your jaw wired, bolted together by a couple of screws, and on you go.’
“There have been many fighters who have had their jaws broken that never boxed again.
“We’re not actors here. It was one hundred per cent real, there was never any strategy, any deal, any script.
“AJ wanted to land clean as soon as possible. Unfortunately the only time he landed really clean was in the sixth round.”
