Despite Tommy previously claiming he would move on to fight “proper boxers” after the Paul fight, WBC champ Tyson has encouraged his brother to carry on fighting social media stars for the time being.

Speaking after the fight, Fury said: “He did a fantastic job. The world media, the world’s biggest stars, [all] came to see it. It was fantastic.

“I expected Tommy to knock him out, to be quite honestly quite comfortably, but Jake was better than I thought he’d be, so fair play to Jake Paul.

“I’m very happy. You can’t get knockouts all the time.

“I’m 33 and 0 with 22 knockouts. So, you don’t get a knockout every time, but it’s a learning experience.

“Jake Paul was a very worthy opponent and he had to come through some obstacles like falling over in round eight and getting up and fighting on.

“Nah, he’ll (Tommy) be headlining now forever. I’d like to see him fight a rematch with Jake Paul and fight Logan, his brother.”

Thanks to his win former Love Island star Tommy improved to a 9-0 boxing record.
