Expect to get served, you pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul explained that all the conspiracy theories about his fight hurt his reputation as a fighter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve dedicated my life to boxing, and I will no longer let those with a public profile harm me or the sport I love and respect, without consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday night, Paul ended up getting knocked out in the sixth round by Joshua, but many theorized that Joshua may have carried Paul for several rounds before deciding to end the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonest thoughts on the fight, I feel like AJ carried Jake Paul to the sixth round,\u201d Former UFC champion Israel Adesanya said on his YouTube channel. \u201cI know what my eyes see, and I understand fighting.

Basically, the post claimed there was an agreement for AJ not to knock out Jake, but AJ disregarded it and decided to forego his payday to knock out Jake Paul. It\u2019s uh\u2026 it\u2019s pretty, pretty astonishing what people will say.<\/p>\n<p>Bidarian went on to deny that there was a pre-fight agreement or \u201cscript\u201d between the fighters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just beyond mind-blowing people would think that. Anthony Joshua was on record saying if he didn\u2019t finish in the first round he\u2019ll be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cOur lawyers are actively going after a number of people, one who claims to be a lawyer himself online\u2026 it was a post that had around 200k likes.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the post claimed there was an agreement for AJ not to knock out Jake, but AJ disregarded it and decided to forego his\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WhFqGvoDOS\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/WhFqGvoDOS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/arielhelwani\/status\/2003209520890413438?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ed Mulholland\/Getty Images for Netflix) Jake Paul\u2019s lawyers are staying busy after Paul\u2019s fight against Anthony Joshua.
