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.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination may have multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers protect themselves by protecting their bodies. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. His stance will determine how he defends. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers can take many different stances. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance

Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
