Paul's Response
Paul responded by sharing a screenshot of the chat, where Dubois challenged him to a fight. Paul cheekily told Dubois to "get in line" but mentioned discussing a potential bout with promoters Nakisa Bidarian and Frank Warren.

Other Challengers
Paul has also received challenges from other fighters, including Artur Beterbiev and retired world champion Carl Froch. However, Paul has his sights set on super middleweight star Canelo Alvarez as his next opponent.
