Logan Paul has come out strongly in defense of his younger brother following Jake Paul’s knockout loss to Anthony Joshua, insisting the fight was far more competitive than many critics have made it out to be.
Speaking to reporters while walking backstage moments after the fight, Logan addressed the outcome head-on. In a brief but animated post-fight interaction, he made it clear that he believed Jake had genuine success before the bout came to a sudden end. According to Logan, the story of the fight should not begin and end with the knockout.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer told paparazzi that, in his view, Jake had already secured four rounds on the scorecards and was performing well against a vastly more experienced heavyweight. Logan’s comments quickly circulated online, reigniting debate around how the fight actually unfolded before Joshua landed the decisive blow.
Jake entered the contest as a massive underdog, with most observers predicting an early stoppage. Instead, the opening rounds saw him remain composed, move well, and land occasional clean shots that appeared to frustrate Joshua at times. While Joshua was clearly the superior boxer overall, the fight did not look like a one-sided mismatch in its early stages.
Logan Paul Defends Jake’s Performance
Logan Paul stressed that people were too quick to dismiss what Jake accomplished simply because of how the fight ended. He said Jake was “doing really good” before the knockout and argued that surviving, competing, and winning rounds against a former unified heavyweight champion should count for something.
From Logan’s perspective, Jake’s ability to last several rounds and find moments of success showed growth as a boxer rather than exposed limitations. He framed the loss as part of a long-term learning process, especially given the gulf in professional experience between the two fighters.

The fight eventually turned when Joshua began timing Jake’s movement more effectively and applying sustained pressure. A clean power shot ultimately led to the knockout, ending the contest abruptly and overshadowing what Logan believes was a competitive start from his brother.
While fans and analysts remain divided, Logan’s comments highlight a recurring theme in Jake Paul’s boxing journey. Even in defeat, his fights continue to generate discussion, strong opinions, and scrutiny over how success in the ring should be measured.
Whether one agrees with Logan’s assessment or not, his message was clear. In his eyes, Jake Paul did not just show up. He competed, won rounds, and proved he belonged in the ring longer than most expected against Anthony Joshua.
