Paul has defeated four mixed martial artists, one former NBA player, one YouTuber, and now a boxer. Paul lost his only fight to a real boxer, Tommy Fury, in a split-decision defeat.

August, who was 35 years old, had a record of 10-1-1. This was why Paul decided to fight him, even though he wasn’t well-known. Before the fight, Paul told USA Today that he had heard the call-outs of “Fight a real boxer.” He criticized his opponent’s footwork. He predicted he wouldn’t land a punch.

That number didn’t quite bear out, but it was close. According to Compubox, Paul landed more punches than August, with a count of 8 compared to August’s 6, in their sole round of fighting. August had his second fight in four years. He returned to the ring in August after not fighting since 2019.

Paul sees this victory as a step toward a championship belt. He confidently predicts a first-round knockout. He attributes it to the power of manifestation.

“I’ve been too kind, allowing them to last until the later rounds. I said I needed to bring back the old ‘Problem Child.’ I set up my shot, and he went night-night,” said Paul, emphasizing his strategic approach.

Paul remains reflective regarding what this win proves. He states, “I don’t know what I proved tonight.” I’m just gonna be myself. This is a step in the journey, moving closer to becoming a world champion. Clearly, these guys can’t keep up with me. He’s been doing this his whole life. What’s next? It’s going to be even bigger.”

After his triumphant victory, people are wondering about Paul’s future in boxing. Paul suggests that he already has a planned opponent. He teases that he will make an announcement next week. This keeps the excitement alive for the next phase of his journey in the sport.

The YouTube sensation has a 7-1 record in professional boxing. He recently lost to Tommy Fury. Paul’s defeat marked his first fight against a professional boxer. He had mostly competed against mixed martial artists before. They included former UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.

The purses for Friday’s fight are undisclosed. Sports Zion reported that Paul earned $2.8 million for his bout with Fury in February. This amount could potentially increase to around $8.6 million with pay-per-view shares. Paul’s net worth was approximately $30 million before the Fury fight.
