Mike Tyson and Jake Paul condemned for antics at Donald Trump's inauguration after controversial boxing fight
WATCH NOW: Donald Trump is sworn in as 47th president of the United States
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul have been blasted by fans after the pair were seen enjoying themselves at Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday.
The pair fought back in November, with Paul cruising to a comfortable victory at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
However, despite recently meeting in the ring, the pair appear to be on extremely good terms just two months on.
At Trump's inauguration, Paul was seen holding Tyson on his shoulders - with Evander Holyfield and Logan Paul watching on.

However, with many still unhappy at the lacklustre nature of November's fight, some users have taken to social media to express their anger.
"Was the boxing match just a money grab op? I very much think so," fumed one fan.
A second simply wrote the word: "Disgrace."
Another raged: "Those two laughed all the way to the bank a few months ago."
A fourth said: "Remember that skit they were in two months ago?"
And a fifth hit out by saying: "I'll never watch a Netflix fight."
Tyson and Paul were hit with allegations that their fight was fixed, something both men have denied.
They did profit from the bout in Texas, however, with Tyson pocketing $20million - while his rival earned $40m.

Paul, when quizzed on the allegations last year, hit back by saying: "People are like, 'Oh yeah, it's rigged because look at him on the pads but he didn't do this in the fight,' because someone is f***ing punching back you dumb f***s.
"People don't realize my power, and my jab and my speed and my ability, and my footwork to get out of the way of those punches, so then all of a sudden he's throwing at, literally, air.
"He was hard to hit. He was elusive. I was missing a lot of punches.
"I don't know how he gets off to the side like that... I wish he had put up a better fight so that I could've risen more and done more, and he was surviving."

His business manager, Nakisa Bidarian, also shut down those allegations and insisted they simply weren't true.
"The only thing that bothers me is the continued kind of narrative and people saying the fight was rigged," Bidarian told 'The Ariel Helwani Show.'
"How would you have seen the contract to begin with that Mike Tyson couldn't throw an uppercut?
"It's beyond lunacy."

He continued: "This was a regulated professional bout by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. And we were partners with Netflix, the biggest media company in the world, who's a public company.
"For anyone to suggest that this was in any way a rigged fight, they're either dumb or they're looking for attention."
