Jake Paul responds to Errol Spence's stoppage win with pound-for-pound claim

Jake Paul hailed Errol Spence as being among the top five fighters in the world after his stoppage win over Yordenis Ugas.

Spence was returning to the ring after a 17-month lay-off following a serious eye injury but dusted off the cobwebs to dominate Ugas and add a third world title to his collection. Ugas, who had beaten Manny Pacquiao last year, was left with his right eye firmly shut by the 10th round, forcing the referee to stop the fight.

Spence immediately called out fellow world champion Terence Crawford for an undisputed fight to crown one champion at welterweight. And Paul, who has his own unbeaten record in professional boxing, was quick to praise the winner.
