Mike Tyson has collected a £750,000 ($1million) wager from Jake Paul after Katie Taylor defeated Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
The 59-year-old former heavyweight champion backed Taylor to complete a hat-trick of victories over her rival, whilst Paul supported his business partner Serrano.
Tyson immediately took to social media following Taylor's majority decision victory, posting: "Congrats to @KatieTaylor and @Serranosisters on the trilogy fight on Netflix.
"@jakepaul see you at dinner to collect my million!"

The bet was made during fight week, with Tyson also insisting that the multimillionaire YouTuber-turned-boxer take him out for dinner as part of the deal.
The wager was agreed during a video call between the two former opponents, who faced each other in a controversial bout last November.
"I've got Katie," Tyson replied bluntly when Paul suggested they bet on the fight.

Paul proposed the terms: "If Katie wins, then you get $1million, if Amanda wins, then I get $1million."
Tyson enthusiastically agreed but added one condition: "I like that! Then you've got to take me out to dinner too."
"Alright, I'll take you out for dinner. I'll take you on a date," Paul responded, sealing the seven-figure wager between the pair.
Taylor secured her third consecutive victory over Serrano with a majority decision, though the bout was notably more tactical than their previous encounters.

The 39-year-old Olympic champion joked about her future: "I don't know, I just don't want to fight Amanda Serrano again - she punches too hard!"
