The win over MMA great Silva increased Paul’s professional boxing record to a perfect 6-0.

In his post-fight interview, he said: “It’s a surreal moment. Hard work pays off.

“First and foremost I want to thank Anderson.

“He was my idol growing up. He inspired me to be great.

“He was the first celebrity I met. Without him, we wouldn’t have had a fight this year. He’s a tough mobster. A legend.

“I have nothing but respect for him. It just goes to show that everyone watching at home is chasing their dreams. It’s never too late.”
