Jake Paul has told his haters to “shut up” following the controversial split decision fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.
Jake Paul has previously been criticized by the boxing world for the caliber of his opponents, with the majority of his winning record coming against MMA fighters – and his case is not helped by the reports that Mike Tyson walked away after watching him box for 30 minutes and seconds. But Jake Paul was excited after watching the Fury vs Ngannou fight.
Tyson Fury, the half-brother of KSI’s recent opponent Tommy Fury, fought Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on October 28, earning himself a unanimous decision victory.
Fury was the favorite to win the fight, and many were shocked by Ngannou’s performance, pushing the British Heavyweight Champion to his limits.
Professional fighter fans all praised former UFC champion Ngannou for his surprising performance, while top-level fighters like Chris Eubank Jr thought he won the fight – “ Looking from the ring, I think Ngannou won the fight.”
Jake Paul noticed all the praise for Ngannou and quickly let fans know what he thought after he was ridiculed for being an MMA fighter.
Jake Paul complained on Twitter about the hate he was receiving
Jake Paul responded to people’s complaints that fighting MMA fighters is “easy work” and he needs to fight tougher opponents not long after Ngannou scored a first-round knockout 3:
But fans aren’t too convinced that the result of Fury vs Ngannou has freed Jake Paul from boxing criticism, making sure to remind him that some of the fighters he fought have since retired:
“You fight 40-year-olds who are retired after hip surgery,” one person commented, referring to Jake’s boxing opponent Ben Askren.
However, some combat sports enthusiasts interjected that Ngannou himself is 37 years old, despite admitting that he is in his “peak” and is still an active fighter – unlike some Jake Paul’s opponent.
Younger brother Paul’s most recent fight was against Nate Diaz, which he won via unanimous decision, bringing his record to 7-1-0, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury, who also defeated KSI.
