    Despite scoring a knockdown in the eighth and final round, Paul didn’t do enough to win on two out of three of the judges scorecards.
    Paul claims he scooped up just over £24million for the fight.
    The Problem Child is said to have a rematch clause – but Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn says Paul should fight KSI instead while taking a subtle swipe.
    Speaking on DAZN, Hearn said: “The rematch, I know people will watch it, but we’ve seen what they are, not very good…

    “Fight KSI, it’s absolutely massive.
    “Because the reality is any time you fight anyone with any ability, you will get beat.”
    Hearn continued: “I do respect Jake Paul and I respect him even more after last night.
    “I mean look, he can’t fight, he’s never gonna be a world champion…

    “What you had was two not very good fighters who were quite evenly matched.”
    Hearn is no stranger to YouTube/influencer boxing having helped promote KSI and Logan Paul’s second fight.
    Unlike Paul, KSI is yet to be beaten having competed in six fights.
    The Brit’s last win came via knockout in January against Thomas Oliveira.
    Former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, believes Paul did enough to beat Fury.
    The former heavyweight champion, who came face-to-face with Tyson Fury – the man who dethroned him – while in the Middle East, told Fight Hub TV: “I think Jake got that one.
    “It was an immature point. The referee is supposed to give him at least three warnings. He gave him no warnings.”
    Asked again if Paul should have won, he replied: “I think so. With the knockdown, he sealed it. He got that point taken away.
    “I think Jake Paul needed that knockdown, and when he did, it evened it out. I think he only gave it to Fury because of the point taken.” More

    Fury secured a £4m purse for the blockbuster showdown in the Middle East.
    But he could have walked away with £8m had he taken up Paul’s offer during the week.
    Paul rocked up with a contract for Fury to sign after they had previously shaken on a double-or-nothing bet that would either see the Brit take home £8m or be left empty-handed.
    However, Fury ultimately refused to put pen to paper as he held on to his agreed £4m payday.

    He then went on to outbox Paul, surviving a late knockdown to secure the win on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
    And his victory meant he actually ended up leaving £4m on the table due to the bet refusal.
    But Fury was not the only one in his family to lose big on the fight.
    World heavyweight champion Tyson, 34, laid down £100,000 on his brother winning inside the distance.

    On the other side of the fence, rapper Drake ended the night $400,000, or roughly £330,000, lighter after lumping on Paul.
    But, rather than the financial gain, it was overcoming the huge pressure that pleased Fury the most following his win.
    He said: “I feel a weight is lifted. Me and Jake fought and I came out the clear winner.
    “I believe you will be able to see a gulf in class when you watch the fight back.
    “But listen take nothing away from Jake Paul he is a game lad, but I believe I can stop him in the rematch.”
    Paul has claimed he will trigger the rematch clause as he looks to avenge the first loss of his professional career. More
