Jake Paul revealed his interest in a rematch against Tommy Fury after questioning the judge’s decision.

‘The Problem Child’ had his boxing career turned upside down in Saudi Arabia. Despite getting knocked down in the eighth round, Fury's success throughout the fight led to his hand being raised with a scorecard of 76-73, 76-73, and 74-75. Directly after the boxing match, Paul had this to say during his in-ring interview:

“All respect to Tommy, he won. Don’t judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. I’ll come back. I think we deserve that rematch. It was a great fight, a close fight. I don’t know if I agree with the judges. I got a 10-8 round twice, so it is what it is.”

The former YouTuber continued by saying:

“I’ve already won in life, I already won. I’ve won in every single way. I have an amazing family, amazing friends, amazing work ethic. I’ve made it farther than I ever thought that I would and beyond. This is definitely a humbling experience. I’ll take it on the chin, get back in the gym, and we can run it back because I think we put on an amazing show for the fans tonight.”

'The Problem Child' suffered a major setback by losing to ‘TNT.’ Luckily for Paul, he added a rematch clause to his contract. Fury will have no choice but to accept a rematch, which he is likely looking forward to, considering he won and received a massive payday.

Jake Paul says he ‘felt flat’ against Tommy Fury

Since Jake Paul started boxing, the 26-year-old has been dismissive of the reality that he could lose. Therefore, all eyes were on the former YouTuber during his post-fight interview. The former YouTuber started by showing respect to Tommy Fury and then had this to say:

“Honestly, I felt flat. I got sick really bad twice in this camp, injured my arm, so it wasn’t my best performance, but I lost. I’m not making excuses. I’m just saying it wasn’t my best performance. I felt a little flat, and like I said, we’re gonna come back and get that W. Don’t judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. I’m gonna come back stronger.”

‘The Problem Child’ now holds a professional boxing record of 6-1. Meanwhile, Fury advanced his record to 9-0, with his marketing value skyrocketing. It’s unclear when and where the rematch will take place.
