Now, following his win against a former world champion boxer, Paul has officially been ranked by the World Boxing Association. According to the official ranking that was shared by Paul's Most Valuable Promotions Instagram page, Paul is now ranked No. 14 in the world in the cruiserweight division.

The WBA's decision to rank Paul likely means the sanctioning body would allow him to fight WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez, who won his latest title defense in the penultimate bout in Anaheim. The fighters have not agreed to a deal, but Paul and Ramírez stared each other down during the post-fight news conference.
