      Former world champion Froch, 45, was called out by Paul earlier on in the week.

      Reacting to the fight, Froch said: “He [Fury] has done professional boxing purists a massive favour by shutting up Jake Paul.

      “He can’t call himself a professional boxer because he’s gone in against a novice pro and got absolutely whooped. He got obliterated.”
      Paul’s defeat came just hours after Froch speculated that the American may have fixed the bout in his favour.
      He said: “When there’s so much money at stake, we don’t like fights are fixed or what’s going off in the background, but there’s always stuff circulating to say, listen, this is a gravy train that needs to keep going.
      “And he’s making a lot of money, Jake Paul, because he knows what he’s doing. He speaks well, he’s got a social media influence.

      “And I don’t think his story stops here with Tommy Fury.
      “I think there is something deeper going on. I don’t want to put my tinfoil hat on, but what’s going to happen tonight is that I’m going to be watching this with close eyes.
      “I’m going to be looking at this saying, ‘Right, what’s Tommy Fury doing? How’s he standing? How’s he jabbing? What’s he up to? Is he in there trying?’
      “I’ve got all these things going off [shakes hands above his head].
      “Until I see Jake Paul and Tommy start exchanging leather, up close and in range, I’m not going to be convinced that this is genuine. But Tommy Fury better be.” More
