British boxing legend Amir Khan has torn into Logan Paul after his comments to Mike Tyson in the ring on Friday night.
Jake Paul claimed victory over the former heavyweight world champion at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
However, the fight was marred by the lack of spectacle with it becoming quickly apparent that Tyson should never have returned to the ring at the age of 58.
Despite a quick start that might have fooled some into thinking this was truly a contest, Iron Mike ran out of gas shortly after as Paul made the best of his superior athleticism.

The 27-year-old largely stayed out of Tyson’s range, who landed just 18 punches throughout the contest, going on to win on every judge’s scorecard.
But the veteran boxer has not given up the ghost and even called out Paul’s brother Logan in the ring.

Speaking to New Zealand Daily, Khan said: “It annoyed me because you can’t be talking to a champion like that – one of the heavyweight greats.
“These guys have started to make boxing become a joke and it was a bad day for boxing.
“People like these YouTubers shouldn’t have the audacity to speak to Mike Tyson like that.”

Khan was not the only British boxer unhappy with Paul as Tony Bellew also reacted furiously on social media.
“Why be so disrespectful Logan Paul?? ‘I’d kill you’ do these idiots understand what the real Mike Tyson would do to them!” he fumed.
“He’d beat them so bad they would beg for him to stop!
“Saying you’d kill a grandfather is tough isn’t it.. I (praying emoji) Mike stays safe..”
