Jake Paul is still not done reckoning with his loss to Anthony Joshua.

While speaking to his brother Logan on camera, Paul said that if he would have beat Joshua, "people would have thought I was racist."

The conversation appears to be part of an ongoing bit in which Paul is playing the role of a sore loser. "I'm literally not racist," he insists. "No you're not," Logan concurs.

Paul was knocked out by Joshua in the sixth round of their fight last week, in what was a decisive win. But despite the talent gap, Jake insists he could have beaten Joshua,

"I just didn't want him to cry in front of everybody," Paul jokes before he's seen having a meltdown outside.

This comes after Paul admitted that Joshua's power caught his jaw "by surprise."

After the fight, Paul confirmed that he was doing okay, and was already looking ahead to his potential next opponent.

"Double broken jaw," he captioned the post. "Give me Canelo in 10 days."
