The YouTuber-turned-boxer enters his match against Fury undefeated as a professional with a record of 6-0. In his most recent appearance, he defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva via unanimous decision in an eight-round fight in October.

Paul is known for facing lesser competition, as his past opponents have mostly been non-boxers who are older than him. He's fought the likes of retired NBA point guard Nate Robinson and former UFC fighters Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
