Originally, Paul was scheduled to fight Tommy Fury on 18 December 2021. However, due to an injury, Fury pulled from the fight and was replaced by former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley instead in a rematch billed as Leave No Doubt.[2]

Paul was scheduled to fight Fury again on 6 August 2022. However, Fury pulled out of the bout due to travel issues. It was announced on 7 July 2022, that Hasim Rahman Jr. would replace Fury in the fight.[3] This bout was also cancelled due to "weight-issues" (Rahman Jr. coming in overweight), and that all sales towards that fight would be refunded.[4][5]
