That is why Paul has been taking his camp seriously. He has enlisted the help of WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson. Montana Love and Raymond Ford have also been brought in as sparring partners. And given Tank is coming off a majority draw against Lamont Roach, where many felt he had lost had it not been for the referee’s failure to give Roach a 10-8 round in the ninth once Davis took a voluntary knee, Paul is still confident about getting a knockout. “This is definitely my toughest test to date. There are a lot of things out there about size. But people forget that Tank is a top 10 pound-for-pound fighter. He’s got power in both hands. Skills-wise and technique-wise, he’s been doing this for so long. Internally, I am the most scared going into a fight that I’ve actually ever been in. “His speed, elusiveness, ring IQ, conditioning, he’s going to be sharp all the way through – the list goes on and on. Actually being vulnerable for a second is crazy and scary and keeps me up at night. I believe I have the power and the offense to be able to walk Tank into a knockout like I have done with other opponents. I am fully confident in my abilities, and it will be one of the craziest upsets in a long time,” Paul said
