In a recent interview, while promoting the biggest women’s bout in boxing history with Champion Katie Taylor and Challenger Amanda Serrano this weekend in New York, Paul talked about ‘The Notorious‘ Conor McGregor.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer said, “I don’t give a f**k about him, to be honest. Yeah, I think he’s all boosted up on testosterone, putting out a bunch of weight. His cardio is going to be even worse now. You know all that muscle, it needs more oxygen. So, I don’t know what the f**k he’s doing.”
