And Paul found himself in some bother after Adesanya locked in a triangle choke, forcing the American to tap out.
That was after the New Zealander, 33, and UFC featherweight king Volkanovski, 34, penned a deal with Paul and KSI’s Prime.
Paul had fans stunned at his body transformation after posing for a picture with the pair of UFC champs.
He has always been in good shape having wrestled at a good level in high school.
But he truly transformed his body when turning to boxing in 2018 to fight online rival KSI, which ended in a draw.
They then went professional a year later for their rematch, which KSI won by split-decision.
The two are now good friends and business partners following the launch of their drinks company Prime.
Paul, 28, has boxed once since when he took American legend Floyd Mayweather the distance in their exhibition bout in June 2021.

Boxing is one the most well-known sports in the world. It is made up of two competitors who aim to knock the head off each other. Different countries have different rules. There are generally three types of boxing: Amateur, Professional, and Olympic.
Amateur boxing usually takes place at school, college and university. This type of boxing allows sparring without protection. Amateur boxing contests are usually three rounds in length, lasting five minutes each. Amateur boxing can be done in many styles, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Taekwondo or Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.
Most professional boxing takes place in gyms, clubs, and stadiums. They are protected by protective equipment like a mouthpiece, nose protector, shinguards, elbow pads and knee pads, waist belt, and groin protection. Professional boxing contests last six rounds and last for four minutes each. There are many styles of professional boxing: Boxing, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Olympic boxing takes place at the Olympics. Special protective gear must be worn by boxers to ensure compliance with international standards. The competition lasts for eight rounds, each lasting three minutes. Only two types of Olympic boxing are available: Light Flyweight or Heavyweight.
The basic skills of boxing are:
- Techniques for punching
- Techniques for protecting yourself
- Footwork
- Stance
- Moving your body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Sparring
Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spares
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
