Paul went on to say, “The people who watch me can’t even fu**ing believe that I’m beating these people. So they say it’s rigged right? They say my fights are rigged, they can’t believe it. So, the fact, I understand where they are coming from because this shouldn’t be possible, no boxer in history has done this. No one’s taking on this tough of opponents this early on in their careers. They usually build up 25 fights, then fight someone tough for the first time.”
