The controversial 6-0 boxer defeated the toughest opponent of his career Anderson Silva, the MMA great earlier but he could not make a profound impact. There are people like Pimblett who still question Paul’s legitimacy as a boxer and believe that the latter’s fights are fixed.
Talking about Paul’s sensational knockout win over the former UFC welterweight champion, Paddy said, “I don’t think this. Tyron Woodley know how it was fixed because when you get knocked out like Daniel land face-faced if you’re not unconscious you’re going uh you can’t elevate a human reaction. But yeah, seeing an angle of a punch way to get on Anderson Silva with you today when he sat down and he didn’t even hit him.”

In a rematch with Woodly, the Ohio-based boxer was lagging behind on the scorecard, but his one punch turned the tables. The clean right hook over the head of Woodley seized the latter in the center of the ring. The punch was admired later, but Paul’s critics made a storyline that the fight was fixed. Since then, Paul often faces accusations of fixing fights.

The probable opponents of Jake Paul

Paul is coming out of the biggest win of his career. It has boosted his confidence to such a level that he has begun summoning top-notch names in combat sports.
