When both fighters stepped in with jabs, Paul got the better of the connection and dropped Fury to the canvas. He bounced up off the floor of the ring quickly, looking unfazed, and went right back to work, putting on display that he was unaffected by this punch.

The knockdown in the final round of the fight would not be enough for Paul to secure the victory, and he suffered his first loss inside the ring to Fury by way of a split decision. Conversely, Fury’s undefeated record has now improved to 9-0, 4 KO.

Leading into this fight, Fury was listed as the betting underdog, and many had the impression that his past opponents were not nearly up to the same level as Paul.

It is no surprise that Paul has every intention of moving forward with the rematch clause that was agreed upon for this bout, and we will no doubt see this pair run it back in the near future.
