Paul started his boxing journey by taking on aging mixed martial artists and former UFC champions. He then stepped up to face professional boxer Tommy Fury, narrowly losing on points. His most recent bout saw him win against Mike Tyson, but Paul caught flak for not throwing heavy shots at his almost 60-year-old opponent.
Toney didn't mince words when speaking to MillCity Boxing about Paul's impact on the sport:
"It's a damn shame. This punk comes to our sport and makes a mockery out of it, know what I'm saying. Everyone knows the Mike fight was bull**it, he wasn't trying to knock him out. I'm not going to do what Mike did, I'm going to finish it. I'm going to take him out."
The boxing legend made it clear he's not playing around:
"I don't play, this s**t is for real. Everything I say and do is official. Everything I say and do I stand on it. This guy, he's garbage, he can't even spell fight."
Paul's team hasn't responded to Toney's challenge yet. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has set his sights on bigger names like Conor McGregor and recently came close to landing a bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Will Paul accept Toney's challenge, or will he continue pursuing fights with more high-profile opponents? The boxing world watches with interest as this story unfolds.
