Tyson even compared the marketing power of ‘The Problem Child’ to the top boxers in the sport today. He said, there are only heavyweights and Canelo Alvarez who have more marketing power than him. There is no doubt about Paul’s marketing capability. He has risen to fame in the boxing world, making a name for himself. But, this fight is imperative for Paul as he will be ranked by the WBC if he beats Tommy Fury.
