AFL legend Scott Pendlebury has taken aim at Jake Paul after his "terrible" display against boxing legend Mike Tyson.

The 58-year-old former heavyweight champion returned to the ring on Saturday (AEDT) to square off against Paul in a farcical eight-round bout.

Paul won the fight via unanimous decision, with many critical of his performance and failing to knock out a man more than twice his age.
