- Paul said he is "not really that hyped" for a Tommy Fury rematch, calling Fury's team difficult to work with and claiming Fury "doesn't have anything going on."
- After a second jaw surgery, Paul was told to avoid sparring for four to six months and he is targeting a return in late 2026 or early 2027.
