And the Ohio-born fighter is looking in fine fettle as he made his way to the venue to show off his skills in the ring in an open workout.

Paul replied: "Thank you. I feel great. I am also cutting a little bit, it is harder than I thought."

"Damn, I - s*** - I am looking kind of edible right now. Someone drug test me, quick!"

Paul has over 23 million subscribers on YouTube and has ranked as the highest-earning YouTube creator in 2017, 2018, and 2021.

But since turning to boxing, he has fought twice - his debut against KSI which he lost and an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather which ended without a result.

The 28-year-old is the overwhelming favourite to beat Danis on Saturday night, though, in a double-billed main event with KSI fighting Tommy Fury on the same card.

"Prime spent extra money, millions of dollars, paying the best fighters we could to make the most entertaining card of the night.

Paul says he only took the Danis fight to help his and KSI's business, but this bout has a personal edge to it and then some

"I'm one of them fighters, but there are a ton of great personalities here bro. Have you seen anything like this?"

Paul and Danis will settle a bitter rivalry on Saturday night, regardless, after the MMA fighter made a series of insults directed at his fiancee Nina Agdal.

Due to the level of harassment, which included several mocked-up images of her of a sexual nature, Agdal was granted a temporary restraining order last month.
