Fury beat Paul via a split decision in the eight-round bout despite being knocked down in the final round.<\/p>\n<p>The judges scored it 76-73 twice for Fury and 75-74 once for Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Paul said after the fight that he didn\u2019t agree with the judges\u2019 decision, and that he both got sick twice in camp and injured his arm \u2014 statements that drew boos from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I lost. I\u2019m not making excuses,\u201d Paul said. \u201cI\u2019m just saying it wasn\u2019t my best performance. I fell flat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fury seemed to have a slight edge throughout most of the fight, but Paul was right in the mix and landed plenty of great punches of his own. Both fighters had a point deducted in the later rounds, too, for seemingly landing a punch to the back of the other\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<p>It was in the eighth round, however, when Paul bounced back and made his move after a slow seventh. Paul came out early with a left-handed jab that sent Fury stumbling back and down to the mat briefly \u2014 which marked the first and only knockdown of the bout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat wasn\u2019t a knockdown, that was a slip,\u201d Fury said. \u201cThat was genuinely a slip. I got up \u2026 I came right back into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fury didn\u2019t seem too fazed by the knockdown and came out firing to close out the fight, landing several blows of his own to keep the advantage and grab the split-decision win. Fury threw almost double the amount of punches than Paul did in the fight, and landed 88 compared to just 49 from Paul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy\" data-src=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cAll the way through these 2 1\/2 years, I had a dream, I had a vision that I would win this fight, and no one believed me,\u201d an emotional Fury said in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:1;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BTSportBoxing\/status\/1629983200570114049?s=20\" data-ylk=\"slk:ring after his win;cpos:1;pos:1\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">ring after his win<\/a>. \u201cNow I can stand up and everybody can take note.

Up until his bout with Fury, Paul has only taken on MMA fighters, another YouTuber and a former NBA player in the ring.

Up against the best fighter he&#8217;s seen so far in his career, Paul lost.<\/p>\n<p>If Paul ever wants to run it back, Fury is ready.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he wants a rematch, he can have a rematch,\u201d Fury said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
