Macaulay Culkin admits he's no friend of Jake Paul in savage birthday tweet

Macaulay Culkin made it clear he's no pal of Jake Paul after sending the YouTuber a savage birthday tweet.

The Home Alone star, 42, was rooting for Tommy Fury, 23, ahead of the show down in Saudi Arabia after a vicious war of words between the boxers.

Jake, 26, said he was going to 'destroy' the Love Islander, but Macaulay tweeted: "There’s no better way to celebrate your half birthday than to watch Jake Paul get punched in the head repeatedly."

The influencer suffered the first defeat of his boxing career after Tommy was declared victorious in a split decision.

After the fight, the brother of Tyson Fury said: “In my first main event, 23 years old, I had the world on my shoulders, and I came through,” Fury said after the fight. “This, to me, is a world title fight. I trained so hard for this. This was my destiny.”

Jake responded: “All respect to Tommy, he won, don’t judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. I’ll come back, I thought I deserve that rematch, it was a great fight, a close fight."

While Macaulay is clearly not a fan of the American, rap star Drake bet a whopping $400,000 on Jake to win.

Prior to the bout, the Hotline Bling star revealed on social media he had placed a bet on the YouTuber to win by knockout against Tommy

After the fight, Jake quipped: “F**k. This is Drake’s fault. Drake, bro, why did you do this to me?”

However, he then went onto apologise to the rapper, saying “It’s my fault. $400,000 is nothing to him. He has won a lot more money betting on me before. He’s probably about even now.”

The Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia was full of famous faces on Sunday, including Mike Tyson and Cristian Ronaldo.

But one noticeable absence on the night was Tommy's girlfriend, Molly-Mae, who gave birth to the couple's first child Bambi in January.

She decided to stay in the UK while the fight took place, but did share a video of herself crying when she found out the result.

Molly - who watched the bout with her sister Zoe Hague and Love Island pal Maura Higgins - said there was "never a doubt in my mind" after a split-decision ended Tommy and Jake's two-year long feud.

Tommy is said to have bagged £3.7m after the win, which takes the couple's reported combined wealth to a whopping £9m.
