Boxing legend Timothy Bradley has furiously dubbed Jake Paul a ‘con artist’ following the 27-year-old’s recent victory over Mike Tyson.
Millions tuned in to watch the action at the AT&T Stadium after months of anticipation and hype.
But it was Paul who ended up winning, with the former YouTube and Disney star securing victory via unanimous decision.
Paul was, understandably, levels above Tyson. He dominated proceedings and was in such control that he even refused to knock his opponent out because he didn’t want to see him ‘hurt’.

Bradley, speaking on his YouTube channel, has provided his verdict on the fight.
The Hall of Famer believes Paul benefitted from Tyson being the main attraction while also branding the younger fighter a ‘bum’ and a ‘con artist’.
“Jake Paul is a bum. I tried to tell you guys,” Bradley raged.
“Straight up con artist. He’s a magician. He’s going straight to the bank. Mike Tyson is the one who sold this fight.

“I told you all he’s 58 years old, all that wear and tear on his body. He’s a senior citizen, basically.
“He didn’t do anything to Jake Paul. He probably landed one or two punches all night, if any. It’s terrible, man.”
Tyson went into the fight hoping to summon the same magic that once made him the best boxer on the planet.
But those days, it seems, are a thing of the past.

In the immediate aftermath of the contest, Tyson suggested that he was open to more fights in the future – despite his defeat.
The 58-year-old called out Paul’s brother, Logan, who then responded by saying: “I’d f***ing kill you Mike.”
Tyson appears to have performed a U-turn, however.
The boxing legend, writing on social media, insisted he had no regrets about his return to the ring.

He also said, however, that this was likely his ‘last fight’.
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” said the boxing icon.
“I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
“I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
