Boxing legend Sharron Briggs has blamed himself following Jake Paul's recent victory over Mike Tyson.
Paul beat the 58-year-old via unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, with Tyson looking a shadow of the fighter he once was.
At the start of Paul's career, the 27-year-old actually worked with Briggs.
The boxing legend also worked with Logan Paul, too, helping the two siblings learn all about the sport.

And Briggs has now admitted he 'feels responsible' after Tyson's defeat, while also questioning why the heavyweight legend didn't throw more punches.
Speaking to Fight Hype, he said: "I feel responsible because I feel like I created this monster.
"We developed what you see now with YouTube boxing. It’s crazy.
“I would have liked to have seen Mike Tyson throw more punches. I wonder why he wasn’t.

He also thanked fans for their support, having had the majority on his side during the showdown with Paul earlier in the month.
"This is one of those situations when you lost but still won," he said.
"I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
"I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
