Paul wants to prove himself

A relative newcomer to the professional boxing scene, Paul is out to prove that he is not just some gimmick fighter looking for quick money.

The Problem Child wants to be a world champion in the sport and believes that a fight against Iron Mike will be a chance to prove himself to everyone, The Guardian noted.

“My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time,” Paul said.

While the younger Paul brother is excited at the prospect of facing Tyson, fans are excited for another reason.

Many took to social media to comment on the surprise fight, asking Iron Mike to teach the brash youngster a lesson.
