Carl Froch says Jake Paul 'embarrassed himself in front of Mike Tyson' during their controversial boxing fight over the weekend.
Paul won the bout by unanimous decision, with the 27-year-old securing a straightforward victory at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
However, many were left unimpressed by the showdown - which failed to live up to the hype.
Tyson looked a shadow of the fighter he used to be during his prime years, while Paul's failure to knock out his rival has also raised eyebrows.

Froch has been a big critic of Paul over the years and now, speaking to Action Network, he's accused the former YouTube and Disney star of 'embarrassing himself'.
"I got up in the morning and I wasn’t excited to see who won or who lost but to see if there was a chance to see if Mike Tyson had lost the plot and gone for it by chinning him," he said.
"That’s what a lot of people were hoping with something controversial to happen but in reality, it looked like Mike Tyson didn’t even try, and he wasn’t capable even if he did try.
"Maybe if he did try, he might’ve done Jake Paul inside a round but in reality, it’s all a fix and a big con.

"I can’t believe people still buy into it. I did a report on it because it’s big news for whatever reason on my YouTube and it got big numbers.
"Me and Jake Paul have had a bit of beef going back and forth. He tries to pretend he doesn’t know who I am, but he’s mentioned me three or four times so when people ask me about my opinion on Jake Paul, I give it.
"He doesn’t like that and pretends he doesn’t know who I am, but he knows who the Cobra is and he knows to stay well away from me in any fighting capacity, whether it’s on the cobbles or in a boxing ring.
"I expose him for what he is, he is a professional p**s taker, professional TikTok dancer, content creator and a YouTuber.
"That’s all he is and that’s all he ever will be.
"He’s trying to be accepted as a fighter because he trains every day and gets in there, throws punches, but he looks sluggish, slow, can’t fight and just embarrassed himself in front of Mike Tyson.
"Even a 47-year-old Carl Froch would beat him, it would be like taking candy from a baby."
Froch's comments come after he'd rowed with Paul on social media.

The Briton wrote: "He's [Jake Paul] such a big commodity.
"He sells tickets, he puts bums on seats, people are interested. Netflix, 30 million, come on!
"74,000 at the AT&T, not quite 80,000 is it? He's not there yet. He is getting there but he's not quite there.
"He doesn't do the big crowds, does he? But he pulls in the old Bunsen burner (money) doesn't he, Jake Paul, so I don't think he will hang his gloves up.

"There'll be a plan for Jake Paul. I'll tell you what, my mobile phone won't be ringing will it? Won't be sending me an email, they won't be contacting my agent to get a fight because they know.
"I ain't calling him out, I'm just letting you know, that he knows, that I f***ing know, if I went in there with Jake Paul it would be an absolute mismatch.
"One round demolition job. I'd even tie one arm behind my back."
Yet Paul was left furious and retorted by saying: "F***ing sour loser. Shut the f**k up.
"I've done more in 4 years than you have in your life. First and last time I respond to your broke salty a**. Let me know if you want to wash my cars."
