Continuing his trailblazing path, he dared to challenge former UFC fighter Ben Askren and delivered a powerful knockout, adding another victory to his record. In a remarkable display of skill, he also crossed paths with the esteemed UFC legend Anderson Silva, emerging triumphant once more in their thrilling encounter.
Throughout his encounters with various opponents, including seasoned fighters and renowned names, ‘The Chosen One’ Tyron Woodley stands out as the one who possesses the most formidable punching power, surpassing them all. “The hardest hit I ever received was from Tyron Woodley, round four, in Cleveland,” Paul told DAZN Boxing.
In Paul’s initial bout against Woodley, a significant moment occurred when he absorbed a powerful blow, causing him to stumble against the ropes. However, despite the impact, the referee chose not to declare it a knockdown, and Paul ultimately secured a narrow victory through a split decision.
In the rematch, Paul left no room for uncertainty regarding his victory over Woodley, as he delivered a jaw-dropping knockout in the sixth round, putting all doubts to rest.
‘The Problem Child’ candidly shared his thoughts on his most satisfying fight, acknowledging that his encounter with Silva was the standout moment. When reflecting on his favorite knockout, he fondly recalled the electrifying moment he dispatched Robinson with a devastating blow. In an intriguing revelation, he referred to his long-time rival KSI as ‘an insecure 30-year-old,’ providing a glimpse into the dynamics of their relationship.
For his upcoming bout, Paul is set to face off against former UFC veteran Nate Diaz on Saturday night in Dallas, Texas. Eager to make a comeback, he aims to recover from his first career loss in his previous fight against Tommy Fury, the younger sibling of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
