Four of Paul’s six wins have come by knockout. He possesses decent boxing skills and often outsizes his MMA opponents. While Paul likely wouldn’t last long inside a cage against many of his adversaries, in a boxing ring, he’s got an edge.
Paul’s only loss thus far is to Tommy Fury, a legitimate boxer and brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
