“It was how satisfied I was more from the Shakiel fight,” Pauls told BoxingScene. “Because he was a bit arrogant and saying he’s going to do this and do that. And so I was the underdog and it made it a bit sweeter. Someone said to me before, ‘Oh, when Shakiel Thompson wins,’ saying I was going to lose to my face. It just made it a little bit more satisfying when I beat him. [Winning the] British title was the best one, but it was really satisfying, that fight.”
