The win comes on the heels of Paul’s vicious first-round KO of boxer Andre August in December 2023. He is now 3-0 since losing a decision to Tommy Fury in February of 2023. That remains Paul’s sole career defeat. The 27-year-old’s prominence and drawing power are undeniable. He has beaten so-called three professional fighters since 2021 while continuing to improve. Paul believes his path can eventually lead to a championship.
