YOUTUBE star-turned-boxer Jake Paul has posted a selfie on a toilet, showing off a photoshopped huge stomach ahead of his showdown with Anderson Silva.
The 25-year-old will take on former UFC middleweight champion Silva, 47, next Saturday at the Gila River Arena.
Paul is heading into the fight undefeated, with four of his five professional wins coming via knockout.
But to potentially throw his opponent off, Paul has posted a naked picture of himself on the toilet with a huge stomach.
The picture is not what it seems, though, as it has clearly been photoshopped.
Paul said: “Nine days until I make history but first I’m getting this extra weight off on the toilet.”
One fan responded: “Looking great, son.”
Another said: “Congrats on being pregnant.”
The picture comes after he kicked out girlfriend Julia Rose from his Puerto Rico base so he can “train like a caged animal” for his fight with Anderson.
Paul said on his podcast: “Julia is not here, she got kicked out of training camp because we’re not allowed to have girls around.
“Just to like build up that dog mentality and to lock in and really train like a caged animal.
“Because, when you’re around a girl there’s a neurochemical called oxytocin that’s released and it makes you relaxed, it makes you more comfortable.
“And for fights you need to be on edge. So Julia is not here today, I love you Julia, if you’re watching. We’re going to miss you.”
