Paul rose to prominence initially through Vine, before his YouTube channel took off.
He has gained further notoriety with his boxing exploits over the last two years.
The internet personality defeated AnEsonGib in January 2020, before knocking out former NBA star Nate Robinson last November.
Ben Askren followed in April, as Paul then grabbed the biggest victory of his career against Tyron Woodley in August.
Next up for Paul is Tommy Fury, with the Love Island star putting his undefeated record on the line for a December 18 bout.

Upon the fight’s announcement, Paul said: “Fight a real boxer they’ve said, and that is exactly what I’m doing. An undefeated boxer from the legendary Fury bloodline.
“However, this one is more than just boxing for me. It’s for America and showing the world there is no other country that gives you the opportunity to achieve whatever you set your mind to.
“It’s for every young person who has a dream and dedicates their life to achieving it.
“On December 18th I’m continuing to fulfil my dreams and turning a Fury into a Fumbles.”
