Social media star, who wore shorts in orange and brown to represent the American football team Cleveland Browns, was a social media sensation.

The electronics at the belt of his shorts that read "Paul in led lights" was what really caught everyone's attention.

The American is now 3-0 by knockout and was earlier visited by UFC lightweight Poirier.

MMA fans expressed their dismay at the fact that Paul had been declared interim champion.

In reality, however, he visited Woodley, 39. They used to share the same American Top Team gym.

Poirier, 32-year-old, tweeted: "I went to tell both boys good luck."

Paul, 24 years old, is unbeaten in the fight but has faced very little opposition.

This includes an online rival, 'AnEsonGib,' ex-NBA star Nate Robinson (37), and Ben Askren (37), who is a retired UFC welterweight.

Paul will be facing Woodley in his return to boxing.

However, social media has made it clear that a sensational first round KO is in the cards.

Sky Sports' Paul said: "Honestly, after this camp I said three rounds and now I think, max two."

"But, to be honest with you, I know deep down that this will be a one-round fight.

"As insane as that sounds. It's going to end up being a short night for Tyron, I believe."
