Jake Paul has set the record straight after accidentally saying that Mike Tyson had 'Parkinson's' before their fight back in November.
Paul won the bout at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, with his rival looking a shadow of the man who previously dominated the sport.
However, there was controversy earlier this week when the YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared to suggest that Tyson had Parkinson's.
He said: “Ayahuasca’s really good for your brain as well.

"Same with Toad, Toad is what Parkinson’s… oh sorry, Toad cured Tyson’s Parkinson’s so he could come back and fight."
However, the 28-year-old has now backtracked and insisted that he 'misspoke' - while condemning people on the internet who had bombarded him with abuse for his comments.
He said: “Bruh…Mike Tyson didn’t have no Parkinson.
“WTF. Why the f**k is the internet so stupid for. I misspoke. Meant he used toad to heal his pain.
“He has spoken about it many times. Just like I do. Just like many do.”
Tyson's team have also released a statement insisting the 58-year-old isn't suffering from Parkinson's.
They told TMZ: “Mike is happy and perfectly healthy.
"He doesn’t have Parkinson’s or any other illness.”

The fight between Tyson and Paul had originally been due to take place in July. However, it was pushed back after the boxing icon suffered an ulcer flare up.
Tyson later revealed that he 'nearly died' as a result, with the 58-year-old unconcerned by his defeat to his young rival as a result.
"This is one of those situations when you lost but still won," he posted on social media.
"I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to getting in the ring one last time.
