The YouTuber made crass comments about Conor McGregor’s fiancee Dee Devlin
Paul
His sick taunts of Conor McGregor’s fiancee, Dee Devlin, two years ago epitomised his willingness to leave no subject untouched – which, in hindsight, he puts down to immaturity.
The Problem Child told SunSport last weekend: “It’s definitely a case-by-case basis.
“I am older now – when I was talking s**t to Conor I was like 23 so I was a little bit more reckless.
“I’ve definitely matured to 26 years old now.
“So I don’t feel the need to go to those places.”
Paul, however, won’t pull his punches if he’s goaded into a personal war of words.
The 26-year-old continued: “But if it goes there, it’ll go there.
“But I’m not going to purposely be ruthless like that.

“And I think before my words were bigger than my actions.
“And now my actions are bigger than my words and I like that balance better.”
Paul is just weeks away from a grudge match with fellow social media star Tommy Fury, who he’ll meet in a Saudi showdown on February 26.
And the former Disney star is brimming with confidence ahead of his first clash with a professional boxer.
Following their fiery face-off last weekend, the American said of Fury: “He’s going to get knocked out by a Disney star, plain and simple, that’s it.

“You’ll see, you’ll see who the real professional boxer is.
“All these critics, all these people saying, ‘Fight a real boxer.’
“Here we go.
“Tommy has so much to lose, his family is going to disown him when I knock him the f*** out, plain and simple, that’s it.
“Sorry Tyson, I love you but it’s over for your brother.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. A strong uppercut for example requires a lot of force. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. A combination may have multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their arms to stop incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
