Paul said that he’ll be trained by top coach Javier Mendez, who has worked with former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“For sure I will,” Paul said. “People seem to forget I was a state wrestler, division one in Ohio. That’s one of the hardest wrestling states and I don’t see why, if I can do boxing at this high a level, I couldn’t do MMA at this high a level.”
“I’m going to go and get coached up by Javier Mendes, Team Khabib and that’s that,” he added.
