🧠 From Tyson to Joshua: A Different Level of Risk
Paul’s previous marquee fight came against Mike Tyson, a legendary name but an aging and long-retired opponent. That bout delivered massive attention and revenue while limiting competitive danger.
This time was different.
Facing Joshua — a former unified heavyweight champion still competing at the highest level — represented a true step up. The gamble wasn’t symbolic; it was physical, and it came with consequences.
Paul didn’t duck the challenge. He chose it. And the result reflected the gap between crossover boxing and championship-level experience.
