As an actor, Paul made his feature film debut in the 2016 film Dance Camp and went on to play Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark from 2016 to 2018, followed by roles in Airplane Mode (2019), Mainstream (2020), and A Genie’s Tail (2022).

Paul transitioned into boxing in August 2018 with a white-collar match against Deji Olatunji, winning by technical knockout, before making his professional debut against AnEsonGib in January 2020. He went on to defeat former basketball player Nate Robinson and former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), and Anderson Silva. His unbeaten professional record came to an end in February 2023, when he lost to Tommy Fury via split decision.
