JAKE PAUL showed off his ELECTRONIC shorts while Dustin Poirier visited the YouTuber backstage before his fight with Tyron Woodley.
Paul faces ex-UFC champion Woodley in his home of Cleveland, Ohoi, and paid homage to his boyhood NFL side.
The social media sensation wore orange and brown shorts representing American football team Cleveland Browns.
But what quite literally caught everyones eyes was the electronics on the belt line of his shorts, which just read Paul in led lights.
The American, who is 3-0 all by knockout, was earlier in the night visited by UFC lightweight Poirier.
MMA fans vented their frustration, believing the former interim champion had pledged his allegiance to Paul.
But in reality, he also visited Woodley, 39, with the pair formerly sharing the same American Top Team gym.
Poirier, 32, tweeted: “I went tell both guys good luck.”
Paul, 24, comes into the fight unbeaten but has so far faced only limited opposition.
That includes online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.
His return against Woodley will provide the biggest challenge in Paul’s boxing career to date.
Nevertheless, the social media sensation has predicted a sensational first-round KO.
Paul told Sky Sports: “Honestly after this camp, I said three [rounds] and now I’m thinking, max two.
“But to be honest, something in my heart tells me that it’s going to be another one round fight.
“As crazy as that sounds. I think it’s going to be a very short night for Tyron.”
