Jake Paul fired back at former super middleweight champion Carl Froch just hours after his victory over Mike Tyson.
Paul, 27, overcame boxing icon Tyson – who was the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990 – via unanimous decision on Friday night following eight two-minute rounds.
The event was the subject of widespread criticism, largely based on the age gap between the two men.
And one of the most vocal was Froch, who claimed ‘I will tie one arm behind my back and finish you for good,’ in a social media post aimed at Paul.
The 48-year-old also predicted that he would demolish the YouTuber-turned-boxer if they were to fight.
Paul did not hold back in a brutal response on X, posting: ‘F***ing sour loser [sic].

Former champion Carl Froch claimed he would beat Paul with ‘one arm behind my back’
Jake Paul wins an eight-round bout over 58-year-old Mike Tyson
‘Shut the f***up. I’ve done more in 4 years than you have in your life.
‘First and last time I respond to your broke salty ass. Let me know if you want to wash my cars.’
Froch won 33 of his 35 professional bouts, retired from boxing 2014 after back-to-back victories over fierce rival George Groves.
While he may not be keen keen on fighting Froch, Paul wants to take on current super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
‘Canelo needs me, so I’m not even going to try and call him out,’ Paul said after beating Tyson.
‘He knows he wants a payday. So, he knows where the money man is at…
‘He’s going to want a payday and I want to show the world all the [stuff] I’ve been talking about beating Canelo is true and I’ll have the biggest upset in the history of boxing.
‘We’ll fight to really see who is the face [of boxing] because, after this event, I’m going to be claiming it.’
