jake paul Explained in detail about his “biggest mistake” against anthony joshua which proved costly Sixth round knockout loss,
Paul drove himself to the hospital and was eventually diagnosed “Double broken jaw” after brutal defeat in Miami.,
The American proved aggressive in the first few rounds and landed several clean shots on the former World Heavyweight Champion, but ‘AJ’ took control of the fight and dropped his smaller opponent in the fifth round and forced a stoppage in the following rounds, with Paul concluding that his stamina proved to be a major weakness.
When Paul was asked on his brother’s podcast Impulsive about the reason for his defeat, he said, “It was just mental.” “He was imposing his will on me and being huge, and landing the big shots, it goes downhill from there.
“I wish I had more than three weeks to prepare, build more muscle. Sit there and kill it. I should have gone higher to train, that was my biggest mistake. I felt good about it [the camp]I needed an extra level of cardio for this, and that can only come from going to altitude.
Paul then rejected the suggestion that the camp was perfect, with his mother revealing that he was “very ill” for 10 days at the camp.
“When we confirmed the fight I weighed 200 pounds, I had to gain more weight. Overall it’s a great experience to be with someone who is so good, I learned a lot, I see where I could have done better. I’m a little disappointed but I see how good he is.
“I had him tackled at one point, I felt like, he had his hands up in the fight. I had fun, I love this game, and this work, it doesn’t feel like a job. The game has done a lot for me.”
Paul also said that he will continue to fight in 2026 after his jaw heals.
Paul said, “Yes, I will continue boxing.” “I like it, I will take some time out to support Jatta [Leerdam in the speed skating] In the Winter Olympics.

“Then she’ll go to Puerto Rico, maybe snowboarding or something.”
And despite losing for the second time, Paul is satisfied with his boxing career, elaborating: “I’ve already won in every way in life, my family, my jaw has been broken, it’s definitely been broken, getting a nice little ass screaming from one of the best ever.
“Honestly, I’m not surprised, I’m just tired, handling his weight, I think with better cardio, I could have continued fighting. I did my personal best.
“Oh, sure, we’ll fix the broken jaw, go back, fight guys at our weight and go for the cruiserweight world title.”
