    Fans think Jake Paul "looks like he's been assaulted" after he met up with Tommy Fury following their fight.

    The two boxers settled their long-running rivalry at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia on Sunday night, with Fury claiming victory via split decision following an eight-round contest. Paul had knocked down Fury in the final round but was left with cuts and bruises on his face after the intense bout, which also saw both fighters deducted a point for fouls.

    Both fighters were respectful of each other and met up backstage post-fight to pose for a picture, in which Paul's wounds were clear to see.

    "I’ve got nothing but love and respect for you brother," explained the 23-year-old. "It was a great build-up and a great fight, thank you."

    He also thanked Paul's dad Greg and his brother Logan before hailing his opponent as a "true warrior", telling BT Sport: "Jake Paul was a true warrior. He was a better man than I thought he was… He took some good shots and he was far better than I thought he was."
