There has been numerous claims that Tyron Woodley was prevented from performing a knockout on Paul earlier this year, resulting in needing to step back when he had Paul on the ropes.
However, speaking ahead of next month's bout against Tommy Fury, Paul denied those clauses exist: "It's a bunch of losers trying to make s*** up.
"Having a no knockout clause in a contract, I've never heard of that, and first of all that's highly illegal."
