Twitter has gone into meltdown with the internet seemingly coming together to celebrate Jake Paul's defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury.

In the wake of Paul's first ever loss, social media sleuths have wasted no time in churning out some hilarious but pretty savage memes which best reflect their feelings on the event.

Some of them are absolutely brutal.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul was handed his first professional defeat, losing via split decision to ex-Love Island winner Tommy Fury.

Paul produced a respectable performance, even knocking his opponent down to the canvas on a couple of occasions.

But when it came to the judges scorecards, it was Fury who received the nod in Saudi Arabia.

In his first bout against an actual boxer Paul fell agonisingly short, but instead of praising the 26-year-old for his efforts, fans were quick to bring him back down to earth.

Before Fury had even got his hand raised, people had already started flooding social media with memes trolling Paul.

Here's a look at a few of them:



Speaking after the bout, Paul said: “I’ll come back. I think we deserve that rematch. It was a great fight, a close fight.

“I don’t know if I agree with the judges. I got a 10-8 round twice, so it is what it is. This is boxing.

“Look, I’ve already won in life man, I’ve already won in every single way. I have an amazing family, amazing friends, amazing work ethic and I’ve made further than I ever thought that I would and beyond.

“This is definitely a humbling experience. I’ll take it on the chin, get back in the gym and we can run it back because I think we put on an amazing show for the fans tonight.”
