Paul also revealed two major goals: he plans to return to the ring in 2025, and he wants to fight for a world title. However, when Chavez Jr. was asked if Paul is ready for that, he was blunt: “I don’t think he’s ready for it yet.”

Paul quickly responded, dismissing the criticism. “Don’t let anybody tell you you’re not ready for something,” he told the crowd before stepping out of the ring.
