“Tommy, I hope you’ve enjoyed these last few moments of your career,” Paul said on Instagram. “This is it. You’re gonna be retired from boxing after this. You’re gonna be disowned by your family. You’re gonna go back to your mother’s maiden name. There’s nothing else that can save you. It is just me and you, mano a mano. Your brother’s not in the ring anymore with you. Your dad’s not in the ring with you anymore. Molly’s not in the ring with you anymore. Bambi isn’t in the ring with you anymore, so all that little cute motivation about having a child and fighting for her, all that sh*t goes out the window when I’m coming to take your f*cking head off. Decapitate you. I’m a mean, angry person deep down. I’m gonna take out all of it on your f*cking face. There’s nothing you can do to f*cking beat me.”
