Paul was going to return on January 14 on the same card as his former opponent-turned business partner KSI.
He has not boxed since June 2021, when he took ring legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, the distance in their exhibition.
Before that, he drew in a similar bout with KSI, 29, before losing their rematch a year later.
But for the past year, Paul’s efforts have been focussed in the WWE which culminated in a title match with Reigns.

Even his brother Jake, a 6-0 boxer, got involved as he attacked Jimmy and Jay Usos, but could not help Logan to victory.
Afterwards, Jake, 25, said: “I just wish I was out there sooner to help Logan.
“But I mean, Roman Reigns is dope. He’s cool, he’s a great fighter.
“But at the end of the day, if we do this for a little bit longer, the Paul brothers will be the WWE champions.”
