Paul coasted to victory while Tyson struggled with his energy levels. The fight drew criticism due to the 31-year age gap between the fighters. Many felt it was unfair for Paul to face an opponent three decades older.
After the match, Paul shared his thoughts on Tyson's punching power. He said he didn't feel Tyson's full force because he could see the punches coming.
"Tommy Fury [is the most power I've felt in a fight]. It's the shots you don't see so Tommy was a little tricky. If you see the punch coming you can prepare for it, if all of a sudden you can't see it and you get hit, that's when it hurts."
Paul's comparison to Tommy Fury stems from his only professional loss. In February 2023, Fury defeated Paul by split decision in Saudi Arabia. Paul even suffered a knockdown in that eight-round bout.
Tommy Fury, the half-brother of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has kept busy since beating Paul. He defeated KSI, one of Paul's rivals, and has announced an upcoming fight against former UFC star Darren Till.
The Tyson fight marks Paul's 12th professional bout, with his record now standing at 11 wins and 1 loss. Despite the victory, the event failed to recapture the magic of Tyson's prime years. At 58, the former youngest heavyweight world champion couldn't find his legendary form.
Paul discussed the fight in more detail on his podcast, where he further explained his perspective on the match and his career moving forward.
