Paul Family Name vs. Fury Family Name:
Fury was born into the fighting world. A future in fighting was always a possibility for the son of a former fighter and the brother of the current heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.
The 23-year-old Fury has turned all of his attention to boxing after a short stint on the UK reality TV program “Love Island.” He has started his burgeoning career with an undefeated, eight-win start, though some would claim that the opponents have not been challenging.
Paul only started boxing in 2018, but since then, he has defeated a number of notable athletes, including UFC world champions Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva, in six fights, four of which were knockouts.
Paul has made a complete career change out of what initially seemed to be a money-driven choice after seeing the enormous purses boxers can make, even in exhibition fights. But he won’t have fought any professional boxers prior to Fury.
