On his potential ranking, Paul said to Sky Sports: “I think it's cool if they want to rank me, that's fine. It's not up to me. I'm not in control of the WBC and whatever it is that they want to do.
“I'm challenging myself more than most pro fighters, all pro fighters, in their seventh fight. Most pro fighters in their seventh fight are fighting guys with losing records.
“I'm fighting now Tommy Fury, legendary bloodline, 8-0, in just my seventh fight. I've beaten a lot of people in sparring who are in the cruiserweight rankings so to me it makes sense. But of course, the purists are always going to be mad at me.”
