Both boxers were docked points by official Hector Afu during the eight-round bout.

But it was Paul who was on the end of a rather humiliating remark from the ref in the sixth round.

As Panamian official Afu stepped in to break up a clinch, he asked the YouTuber: “Wanna fight?”

Paul landed fewer punches than Fury in all eight rounds of their showdown in the Middle East.

Two of the judges scored the contest 76-73 in favour of Fury, while the other scored it 75-74 for Paul.

After the clash, Paul hinted at reasons why he believes he was not at 100 per cent.

He said: “I felt flat, I got sick twice in this camp and injured my arm.

“It wasn’t my best performance, but I’m not making excuses and I’ll come back stronger.
