"I'm going on a real vacation and doing backflips into the water - I'll come back whenever I feel like it."

Paul said: "I've done more than enough, four massive fights in 13 months. Nobody in the history of boxing has done what I've done at this age.
"Massive pay-per-views, knocked out every person that I've fought, the only person that's as active as me is Canelo, and he's 50+ fights in.
"I turned them all into memes, that s*** is going viral all over the internet and I'm ready to fight whoever.
"It doesn't matter if they're a professional boxer or a five-time UFC champion, I don't care.
"I'm really built for this and no matter what I'm going to find a way to get the job done and that's what I showed tonight."
