Paul, 28, defeated Tyson, 30 years his senior, via a unanimous decision.

The pair infamously clashed ahead of the bout, with Tyson slapping the Problem Child during the weigh-in.

But they appeared to be thick as thieves as they linked up yesterday.

In a clip posted on Paul’s Instagram account, the tuxedo-clad pair could be seen looking like old pals.

Iron Mike yelled in delight, with Paul also smiling as Tyson raised his fist into the air.

The Problem Child captioned the vid: “Best friends.”

Tyson has long been acquainted with Trump.

The pair got to know each other in the 1980s, when the future-President staged several of Tyson’s fights in Atlantic City.

Iron Mike went on to tell the New York Post Sports podcast of Trump: “I always remember him from being a good guy, paying me a lot of money.”

On being at Trump’s inauguration, Paul said in a social media post: “Today is about togetherness in every way. Fists down, unity up.

“Honored to be here. God Bless America.

“Any American who isn’t in support of Trump after this speech simply hates America and doesn’t want what’s best for this country and the world.”

Paul’s older brother Logan was also at the Washington bash, as well as former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor.

The pair have been linked with a £500million ($610m) boxing exhibition in India later this year.

Despite their previous war-of-words, McGregor and the Paul brothers posed for snaps together as they headed to the event.
