What is his boxing record?
After beating English YouTuber Deji Olatunji in his amateur debut, Paul has compiled a professional record of 10 wins (seven knockouts) and one loss. The most impressive scalp is a win over former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, albeit Silva was 47 at the time. Paul’s only loss was a split-decision result in favour of Tommy Fury, brother of former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury.

Why is it only on Netflix?
This is the first live fight foray for Netflix, via a partnership with Paul’s promotional firm, Most Valuable Promotions. It means there won’t be an additional charge for Netflix subscribers, despite Paul’s pulling power as a pay-per-view attraction (his bout against Fury notched more than 800,000 sales).
Given Netflix has almost 283 million subscribers worldwide, it has the potential to be one of the most watched boxing events in history.
