However, after his sensational victory against Daniel Bocianski, Fury called out Paul and asked him to set up a fight. He specifically said, “Get the contract signed you bum! Let’s get it done once and for all!”
A potential Fury vs Paul bout has been one of the most highly anticipated fights in the past few years.
Paul vs Sonny Bill Williams
For many fighters, a bout with ‘The Problem Child’ is a sure-shot trip to the bank vault. Paul’s fights have been raking in big paychecks both for him and his opponents.
Meanwhile, Paul revealed a rather intriguing name as a potential opponent for his fight in August. He named New Zealand heavyweight boxer and former rugby league player Sonny Bill Williams as a potential contender for a fight.
Paul was talking at ‘THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas‘ podcast with host Teddy Atlas and co-host Ken Rideout.
In conversation, Rideout asked Paul, “What’s next. Who are you fighting in August?”
Paul jokingly mentions Floyd Mayweather.
However, Rideout hilariously shuts down Paul’s prospect.

Paul then revealed the name of his prospective opponents. He mentioned that he wants to face Anderson Silva and Michael Bisping. Further, he also added, “Tommy Fury… Sonny Williams out of Australia.”
It is, however, worth noting that Paul might have to work on getting the nationalities of his opponents correct.
