The YouTuber dominated the boxing icon when the pair fought in a controversial bout last month but isn't paying attention to those who questioned him for taking on an opponent 31 years his senior.

Paul told MMA Fighting: "There is no response to the reaction of the Tyson fight. I quite frankly didn’t look at it. What do I care that people have to say about anything that I do? If anyone in my life has something to say, then they’ll text me.

"If you don’t have my number, then I don’t give a f*** about you. All the texts were, 'best event ever,' 'incredible,' 'you’re the face of boxing,' all of these things, love, love, love – and that’s all I care about."

The social media star believes that boxing fans are angry because he will always have a professional victory over Tyson on his record.

Paul joked: "People are just mad that it’s permanently on BoxRec that I beat Mike Tyson."

A number of fighters - including Daniel Dubois and Artur Beterbiev - have put themselves forward to take on Paul next following his triumph against 'Iron Mike' but the YouTuber says he only speaks about possible opponents when asked.

He said: "That’s the landscape we’re in – everyone just trying to talk s*** and peacock-jockey for their position.

"Beyond all the s*** talk, I don’t want to create a back-and-forth of nonsense, but I have the biggest fight in boxing history; the numbers tell the truth of that, so people can say whatever they want. So let me see someone with more numbers, then we can talk."
