Fury celebrated wildly in the ring after two judges scored it 76-73 in his favour with the other favouring Paul 75-74.
He then broke down in tears and declared he would accept a rematch if Paul wanted it before the American reeled out a number of excuses for his loss.
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.
And after the bout had finished, his father John lost his cool when quizzed about it.
In footage shared by Bet R Combat, a reporter asks John: “The world wants to know about the deal that was proposed.”

With Logan Paul, Jake’s brother, stood up pulling faces behind him, John says: “Let’s talk about boxing, that’s what we are here to talk about.”
The journalist replied: “It certainly is a deal about boxing.”
Only for John to retort: “I’m concentrating.”
The footage then skips a few moments to where John is about to leave his media duties, only for him to be asked about the deal again.
This time he angrily blasts: “Why don’t you shut up. Little video boy.
“Just shut up video boy, little nobody.”
At that point an individual steps between John and the camera and says: “I’m his manager, so go away.”
Then Logan jumps back into shot to say: “I’m curious to, I’m curious to.” More

The 2000 Olympic gold medallist stepped into the ring with heavyweights like David Price, David Haye and Deontay Wilder.
But none of those three, including the Bronze Bomber, who is regarded to have one of the biggest punches, was the hardest Harrison has been hit by.
Instead, he surprisingly singled out a man nicknamed ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’.
Harrison told Mega Casino about coming up against him, saying: “I always say the hardest puncher I ever faced in my career was Samuel Peter – ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’.

“I boxed him in a pre-Olympic tournament, with a headguard on, he hit me on the top of the head and it sent shockwaves all the way through my body.
“The thing with David Price, I went to sleep when he knocked me out. When you’re knocked unconscious like that, you don’t know too much about it.
“Deontay hit me and then he threw 100 punches after that, so it was just all a blur.
“I just took the Samuel Peter shot and the headguard probably stopped me from getting knocked out.

“But, I know that was the hardest shot I faced.
“The David Price and Michael Sprott knockouts put me to sleep.
I woke up and wanted to start fighting again, but my corner told me ‘Audley, the fight has been over for 30 seconds’.”
Peter held the WBC title in 2008 after beating Oleg Maskaev.
He then lost his belt to Vitali Klitschko later that year before losing to his younger brother Wladimir in 2010.
Peter ended his career with a 38-9 record with many of his losses coming towards the end of his time in the ring.
Hughie Fury, a relation to Tyson, Kubrat Pulev and Robert Helenius have all defeated him.

The Gypsy King, 34, has just launched a new range of talking rubbish bins mocked up as his face to tackle “t***ers” around the country.
He recently launched the doppelganger bin locally by attaching it to a lamppost.
However, it was also hooked up to a microphone and he would call out litterers and jump-scare shoppers as he watched on from a studio nearby before emerging to thank them or deliver a telling-off if they failed to pick up their rubbish.
Fury blasted one litter lout, saying: “So if you don’t put it in the bin, someone like me has got to pick it up.

“If we all muck in if we live in this country, and keep it tidy and don’t chuck s*** on the floor, it will be a better place, won’t it?”
He then demanded “50 press-ups” from the shocked man.
The bins are being used to promote Fury’s energy drink brand Furocity Energy’s expansion into the chewing gum market.
They will bellow out some of his most famous phrases to passers-by, such as “don’t be a d***er, put your gum in the bin”, which are recorded by the unbeaten star himself.

Fury launched the company just over a year ago and insists his new chewing gum will be just as successful as his drinks.
He says: “I’ve already changed the energy drink game and I’m going to do the same with energy gum and destroy the competition.
“But people just need to stop being dossers and spitting their gum on the ground, you can’t walk anywhere without passing some on the street. That’s why my head was there for them to lob it in instead.”
Meanwhile, Fury has revealed who brother Tommy should pick for his next two fights.
The champ has just returned from Saudi Arabia to watch Tommy emerge victorious from his bout with Jake Paul after the judges found in his favour in a split decision.
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.” More
