After years of back and forth, this weekend Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally faced off in the boxing ring. 

Despite some big hits on both sides, ultimately the fight went the full eight rounds, with Fury claiming the split decision win, and ending Paul’s unbeaten status in the process.

As expected, people were quick to take to social media, with opinions ranging from joy to disgust, and everything in between. 

Take a look at some of the best reactions to the highly anticipated fight. 

One of Paul’s biggest rivals, YouTuber KSI was quick to celebrate the loss of his business partner's younger brother. 

But KSI wasn’t the only one, with social media lighting up to celebrate Paul’s loss.

The style of the fight was a subject of discussion all day.

While some were upset that there was a fight at all.

The prospect of an alleged rematch between the two was floated. 

But maybe the biggest loser of the night was Drake - who lost $400,000 betting on Paul. 

Forget the Thrilla in Manila, this may have been boxing’s peak.
