Paul was knocked down four times, with a powerful right hand breaking his jaw in two places and concluding the match in a dramatic fashion.
Despite his painful injury, the American has pledged to continue fighting.
Former training partner David Adeleye believes that Paul’s popularity and marketability could eventually earn him a title shot.
Adeleye stated on talkSPORT : “I can see him returning to the ring in 2026 to prove a point.
“At what level, nobody knows. It depends on his motivation. If he remains grounded, they might match him appropriately.
“I think he could manage to work his way into a world title shot if he defeats opponents at the regional level in America.
“If he selects certain fights and climbs into the top ten of the cruiserweight division, it could lead to a voluntary defense.
“If you are a champion and can earn a significant amount of money, why not? You would definitely consider it.”
