Jake Paul has hit back at Piers Morgan after the TV presenter claimed Mike Tyson was 'mocked' following their fight on Netflix.
Paul, 27, cruised to a comfortable points win over Tyson, 58, in their heavyweight contest at AT&T Stadium in Texas on Saturday morning.
All three judges scored the fight in Paul's favour - 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer never looked in trouble against his elderly opponent and now holds a professional record of 11-1.
Tyson, meanwhile, looked a shadow of his former self and only managed to land 18 punches in the whole contest.
Fans on social media branded the fight a "disgrace" and "sad", with those in attendance booing the fighters in the closing stages.
But despite his disappointing performance, Tyson has refused to retire from professional boxing and even called out Logan Paul in his post-fight interview.

Piers Morgan took to social media after the bout to give his take on the controversial main event of the evening.
"Prime @MikeTyson would have destroyed @jakepaul in 90 seconds," Morgan posted on X.
"A 58yr-old Tyson went 8 rounds against a much fitter and very capable boxer half his age. Mock him all you like, but Mike's got the heart of a lion, balls of steel, and will always be an absolute legend."
Paul took exception to Morgan's comment, firing back: "Who mocked him?

"He's a f***ing beast. All respect to the Baddest Ever. It was an honour to share the ring with him."
Speaking after the fight, Paul claimed that he held off in the final rounds against Tyson, despite his corner instructing him to finish the heavyweight legend.
"There was a point where I was like he is not really engaging back," said Paul.

"So I don't know if he is tired. I can just tell his age was showing a little bit.
"I just have so much respect for him and that war thing between us after he slapped me, I wanted to be aggressive, take him down and knock him out.
"But that kind of went away as the rounds went on.
"I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt."
