You should boo yourself,” shouted Paul.“Didn’t this place burn down? Shut the f*** up! View Tweet: https://t.co/sWCFbwqJ78“This could have been a Zoom call. Why the f*** are we here?“What is this? My great-grandpa died in World War 2.“Boo yourselves. We saved your b***** a*****. Shut the f*** up, Paris.“Without me and my family, you wouldn’t be here. Shut your b**** a*** up.“Shut the f**** up, France. We are trying to have a press conference here.“I have seen who you root for.

This is a clown fight. I have everything to beat this guy.“This guy is a joke. He is a very great YouTuber, but he is not a fighter. He’s not even a good boxer. I just need to lose weight to fight this guy. My weight now is 100kg (220lbs).“I’m just training to lose weight. I’m not training to avoid any of his skills. He doesn’t have anything.”Paul responded: “He knows what he is doing. He can say all that he wants. “He is a two-time world champion, and at the end of the day he is still a tune-up fight for me.”Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.
