In a huge victory for reality TV stars over social media personalities, Tommy Fury beat Jake Paul by split decision in their much hyped boxing match on Sunday night.

Paul, who made his fortune as a YouTube prankster before turning his hand to boxing in recent years, had got off to a respectable start in his fighting career before Sunday night, compiling a 6-0 record, although some of his opponents were of debatable quality.
