Jake Paul snubbed Mike Tyson in declaring the hardest puncher he has ever faced.
Paul defeated Tyson via unanimous decision inside the AT&T Stadium in the early hours of Saturday morning UK time.
Tyson, 58, started well in the opening round and took the fight to Paul, but he began to struggle as the fight wore on and struggled to land any meaningful punches.

In fact, he only succeeded with 18 punches throughout the entire fight, with Tyson declaring that he 'almost died' following his ulcer flare-up in June and that he felt he 'won' just by being fit enough to take on Paul after their original July date was postponed.
While it wasn't the Tyson of old - he retired from professional boxing in 2005 - he was still the most high-profile name that Paul has faced in his professional career.
But the 27-year-old chose a different fighter as the hardest puncher he has ever come up against inside the squared circle.

Speaking on the 'BS with Jake Paul' podcast, Paul explained: "I would say Tommy Fury, because it's the shots you don't see.
"Tommy was a little tricky. And what I mean by that is, if you see the punch coming, you can prepare for it. If you're going into something and you can't see it, and then all of a sudden you get hit, that's when it hurts.
"Tommy was more tricky with that. But Mike's punches I could see coming. He was strong, but he didn't land anything clean.
"I honestly didn't feel Mike Tyson's full power, but that's good. You don't want to. I was just moving, staying elusive and the only thing he was kind of landing was that hook, but I just kept my hand up."

Fury handed Paul his only professional loss by defeating him via split decision in February 2023.
The fight, which took place in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, took Fury's record to 9-0, before he then beat KSI via unanimous decision in October 2023.
He has yet to step back into the ring since then, though The Sun claim that he is in talks with KSI over a rematch in January after pulling out of the latest series of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here'.
