In another Tweet, Paul Tweeted that he’s now a “retired boxer,” which could be legit, but he could also troll the fans. On Sunday night’s bout, Paul was scored 77-75 and 78-74 with one judge seeing it 77-75 for Woodley. Thereby, he was awarded the win via split decision.

Paul didn’t agree with the split decision:
“I mean, let’s be honest, that’s bullsh*t. Like, come on. Especially in my hometown, like, where’s that judge at?” Paul said with a smile. “I mean, he hit me with one good shot the whole fight. I don’t know what they were looking at, but it’s all good, I still got the victory. I got eight rounds under my belt.”
As for possibly fighting Tommy Fury next, Paul said:
“We’ll see. I’ve been boxing for 18 months now. I think I might need to chill out for a second and figure out who I am. I’m only 24, I’m changing, I’m growing. I’ll get back in the gym when I’m ready, and we’ll see.”
