Speaking on the FullSend podcast, he explained why the Fury fight was so big:
“I think just the timing of everything in fights like that make the most sense. It was like two undefeated, young prospects putting it all on the line. His brother’s the heavyweight champion of the world.
“Family versus family, the beef. There was two fights before it that were supposed to happen that we did all the promotion that he pulled out of. So there was all that built-in promo. Tons of legends attended the fight (Cristiano) Ronaldo being there. So it just turned into this massive event.”
Paul bounced back from defeat to Fury by dropping and winning a decision over the MMA legend, Nate Diaz in August.

Who would you like Paul to fight next? Let us know in the comments.
I’d like to see him turn professional and fight a professional boxerer… or if he want to keep the protense up of being a boxer and fighting retired boxers someone like Carl the cobra froth then we would see how good he really is
