They reflected on a disputed sparring session from 2021 when Perry said: “Your little baby green punches can’t even reach my brain stem, bro.

“I’m going to dig through your eyeball and find your memories.”

But Paul responded: “Please don’t do that. Please don’t do that, Mikey.”

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was due to be in Texas to instead fight Mike Tyson but the boxing icon, 58, pulled out amid a health precaution.

Instead, the controversial fight for the ages has been postponed till November 15 with Perry, 32, stepping in as a replacement.

Paul, 27, is risking the mega-money payday by taking on the former UFC star but insisted he will be too good on the night.

He said: "There’s nothing he can do, and I respect him. He’s very violent.

"It’s not taking away from Mike Perry. He can beat a lot of people, but he can’t beat me.”
