Jake Paul outlines the reasons he lost

It’s not strange for a prize fighter to find excuses as to why they lost a match, however, Jake Paul’s reasons are a little bizarre.

Initially, Paul claimed that he was suffering from an illness. On the BS w/ Jake Paul show he explained that he had been suffering from sickness for weeks of his nine-week training camp.

More recently, in a new episode, the 26-year-old boxer says that it was due to ejaculation the night before the fight. He explained:

“I f***ed myself — literally — over. I literally woke up in a panic, like, ‘F***. F***, f***, f***, f***.”

Some fighters claim that this technique helps to build up testosterone and thus be more effective during a fight. Jake paul continued:

“You had just done this thing that isn’t easy for three weeks to a month, holding your batch in… it’s not easy. And then, on the day of the f***ing fight, all your progress is destroyed. You’re back to zero … 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.” [Transcript courtesy of The Sun]
