Paul advises next wave of fighters
"We live in a different boxing world now, in a different digital age in general, and it's the fighters' responsibility now to promote themselves," he said.
"And once they realize that, and realize instead of sitting around on the weekend and playing video games in between the training sessions, they gotta be on TikTok and making YouTube videos and getting out there and going on interviews and podcasts and getting any opportunity they can to grow their name.
"That's why I would just encourage everybody else. The promoter is dying. It's now the responsibility of the fighter. That's the new boxing world. Just hustle, man. Just hustle."

Christmas party
Paul noticeably came out to an iconic Christmas song during his ring-walk tonight – Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.
"We just always had these vibes going in camp, and sometimes we're playing different music, and one day we were sitting in the backyard, and this pal's like, it's Christmas, oh my God, they'll start playing the Christmas hits," he said.
"And that first song came on and I was like, this is what I'm walking up to."

Turning haters to believers
"If I was walking on water in front of everybody's eyes, they would say I couldn't swim.
"When you take this path, and you're in the top of a sport, and you got there in three and a half years with the jealousy and hate and insecure people, all the time, of course, they're gonna critique and find any little thing that they can to try to bring me down.
"But what they don't know is that it's just making me bigger, just making me stronger, just making me more motivated to go ahead and become world champion."

Jake Paul vs Andre August report
Jake Paul brutally knocked out Andre August in the first round with a brutal right uppercut.
The YouTuber-turned prizefighter marked a new step in his career by facing a professional boxer with more experience.
And a perfectly-timed uppercut left August unable to beat the count and Paul handed the most legitimate win of his career.
He said: "I said first round knockout all week, I manifested this, this is the power of manifestation and I said I need to bring back the old Problem Child.
"I've been too nice with these people, letting them go into the later rounds. I set up my shot and he went night, night.
"I told him he was going to need a Celcius to wake up."
From the opening bell, Paul, 26, took the centre of the ring and got behind his jab.
He was doubling up his left hand and looking for the right behind it but August – who had 12 prior bouts – covered up well.
The little-known American, 36, also landed a couple of solid overhand rights himself but Paul took them well.
And then as the round was closing out, Paul set August up with a range-finding jab before firing over the finishing uppercut.
