Logan Paul has paid tribute to his brother Jake Paul after he was defeated by Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia. The former Love Island star beat the Youtuber-turned-boxer by split decision.
The highly anticipated match took place in Riyadh on Sunday and saw the two novices exchange blows over eight rounds. Despite being knocked down by Paul in the eighth round, two of the three judges scored the fight in his favour - 76-73. The other judge scored it 75-74 to Paul.

Following his loss, Paul's brother Logan - the man behind the viral Prime drink along with KSI - branded him a 'warrior' and described the Fury family as 'entertaining'.
He tweeted: "I’ll always stand by you in victory or defeat @jakepaul. You fought like a warrior & already beat the odds in life Big congrats to the Furys, what an entertaining family."
Jake Paul later posted on social media to congratulate Fury, saying, 'I will be back'.
He wrote: "Don't judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. Congrats to Tommy, his team and his family. Thank you to everyone that tuned in. Saudi Arabia thank you as well. I will be back."
The build up to the fight was tense, it was the third time the pair had been scheduled to fight, having seen the first two called off for various reasons. In a heated press conference earlier in the week, Fury seemed confident of victory, prompting Paul to offer him an 'all or nothing deal' in which he would double his winnings if he won, but walk away empty handed if he lost.
It's not yet clear exactly how much each fighter made, but reports prior to their 'deal' suggested Paul would earn $8.6m (£7m) in total, with Fury looking at his biggest ever payout at $4.5m (£3.7m). There was also an extra $1m on the line for the winner.
