Jake Paul, who just ten days ago suffered his first defeat in his boxing career, has produced a humorous video in which he refers to himself as a professional boxer.
When Jake finally faced off against his longtime adversary Tommy Fury in Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia, the YouTuber-turned-boxer experienced one of the most unexpected nights of his life. The eight-round boxing match did not go as planned for Paul, as his British opponent won by split decision.

A lot of current and former boxers, as well as MMA personalities, have shared their valuable thoughts on the fight. Many said Jake had gotten what he deserved because according to many, there was no way from the beginning Jake could have defeated a professional boxer like Tommy, but others thought the conclusion might have gone differently, favoring Jake.
There were numerous ways for the American to deal with the setback, but based on Jake’s post-fight statements, activities, and judgments, it is safe to say that Paul performed as a mature boxer who handled the defeat professionally.
Instead of placing unwarranted blame on his British opponent after the fight, the internet influencer applauded him. Despite the fact that Jake and Tommy exchanged hot words numerous times prior to the fight, once the battle was finished, they both demonstrated peace above violence.
The Problems Child posted a video to his Twitter account yesterday in which the 26-year-old boxer is seen taking care of some cardboard boxes. Jake captioned the video with a funny two-word statement expressing his attempt to take the setback lightly.

Nothing is set in stone for Paul’s next move, but he and Fury verbally agreed to a rematch shortly after the fight. Hence, Jake may either focus on fighting TNT for a rematch or he can focus on another grudge battle, possibly against another YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.
