Paul, formerly a television star, is still a Youtuber, but lately a passionate boxer and a boxing promoter. Paul is known to have grasped the hold of a teenage and young adult audience with his conviction through his influence in the past decade. Now, he is all about the world of fighting.

Paul started off as Youtuber-boxer fighting as an amateur against fellow Youtubers like Deji. After that, Paul turned to pro only to fight another Youtuber AnEson Gib, which Paul won via TKO. Later on, Paul went on against an athletic opponent & former NBA Star Nate Robinson. Paul stopped Robinson via a vicious knockout that no one saw coming. The next 3 fights were all against world MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Paul knocked out Askren in the opening round and managed to knock Woodley out cold in the rematch.
