Paul turned a professional boxer in the year 2020. Since then, the boxer had 6 straight wins out of which four were against notable names from combat sports. However, he fell short in his first bout with an out-and-out professional boxer, Tommy Fury when the two clashed. Yet his love for the sport has not died. Reflecting on why he competes and how long he wants to compete, Paul revealed how he is indebted to the sport for helping him “build and grow” as a man.

In the press conference, he states, “The sport saved me in many ways. I was going down the wrong path in Los Angeles. Involving myself with the wrong people. Boxing gave me the opportunity to step back from that to learn who I was as a man. To build and grow to focus on something other than doing the stupid little YouTube sh*t that I was doing back in the day” He adds, “Cause that’s not truly how who I was.” 

In the past, Paul has revealed his desire to become a world champion. Will he fulfill his dreams? Only time can tell. But in the meantime, Paul made changes in his training camp after his loss to Tommy Fury.
