The internet sensation has trained throughout the long, drawn out talks but recently relocated to Puerto Rico, leaving behind his mansion in Los Angeles.

And it appears Paul has reaped the rewards as he posed shirtless on Instagram.

He captioned the post: “5 weeks until I beat @floydmayweather #June6.”

Paul, 26, will face Mayweather, 44, on a Sunday in Miami over six rounds, as revealed by SunSport.

According to The Athletic, the social media star will have to weigh no more than 190lb (13st 5lb).

For his last fight, a split-decision loss to online rival KSI, Paul scaled 199.4lbs (14st 2lb) so will have to trim down.

Mayweather on the other hand cannot be any heavier 160lb (11st 4lb) which is the middleweight limit.

The five-division champion has never fought above light-middleweight, his career-heaviest weight coming in 2012 weighing 151lb (10st 7lb).

Paul first fought in a white collar bout in 2018, drawing with online rival KSI, 27, in Manchester.

They turned pro a year later, and the American was beaten by split-decision after a two-point deduction cost him the result.

Mayweather retired officially in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 32, in ten rounds.

But he did return a year later for an exhibition against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, winning in one round, his last fight.
