He questioned the judges’ scoring and dug deep in rationalizing his first career defeat.
“Honestly, I felt flat,” he said.
“I got sick really bad twice in camp, injured my arm,” he said as boos rang out in the arena. “It wasn’t my best performance. But I lost. I’m not making excuses.”

Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and a “Love Island” reality star, landed more power blows than Paul and threw more punches in general, ESPN noted, but Paul (6-1) knocked down Fury (9-0) with a jab in the eighth and final round to perhaps inject more suspense into the final decision.
@jakepaul has elite KO power! This is the same strait Jab that knocked down Anderson Silva. When Jake lands his power right hand clean…It’s lights out. #JakepaulTommyFurypic.twitter.com/U1YMRarSw3
