Jake Paul’s undefeated streak is over.

Paul squared off against Tommy Fury on Sunday at Diriyah Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Fury winning in a split-decision.

Entering the last round, with Fury seemingly ahead, Paul knocked Fury down before he quickly recovered.

Ultimately, Fury took the match with two scorecards in his favor, with only one for Paul.

After the fight, Paul addressed his loss, which you can watch below.

Drake bet $400,000 on Paul to win, which would have won the rapper $1 million.

After the match, Paul jokingly blamed Drake for the loss in a knowing wink to the infamous “Drake curse.”

“Fuck! This is Drake’s fault. Bro, why did you do this to me?” Paul said in the post-match presser.

“Nah, it’s my fault. $400,000 is nothing to him,” Paul added. “He’s won a lot more money betting on me before, so he’s about even now. Sorry Drake, I am going to get that W in the rematch.”

As you might expect, people had strong reactions to the polarizing YouTube star’s first loss in seven bouts. Check out some notable reactions to Paul’s first loss below.
