After the fight, 42-year-old retired UFC legend BJ Penn called out Paul on Twitter.

BJ isn’t the only former UFC fighter to openly challenge Paul to a boxing match. Chris Leben, Dillon Danis, and Phil Baroni took to Twitter to offer up their services against Paul.
Seems we need to settle some scores with some boxers

Paul hasn’t indicated who he wants to fight next but he definitely has several options on the table.
