And he arrived to the pre-fight press conference in style, dressed in all white denim showing off his ripped physique.

Paul is set to scale a career-lowest 187lb for the fight but could have been weighed down by his wristwatch.

The American showed off his Jacob & Co Bugatti Chiron 16-Zylinder Tourbillon, worth over £370,000.

Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.

That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.

Woodley only filled in on under two weeks’ notice after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out of his grudge match against Paul with a rib injury.

The celeb mega-fight was rescheduled for August in New York – but that was soon KO’d when Fury suffered US visa issues.

Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed as a substitute, only for lightening to strike twice, this time due to a weight disagreement.

But it has paved the way for Paul to return in the toughest test of his career against UFC great Silva, 47.

Although the eight-rounder is to be reviewed after the Brazilian claimed he was knocked out twice in sparring for the fight.

The UFC legend – speaking at the open workout – has since clarified that he was just joking and his comments were lost in translation.

But the Arizona commission have now thrown the fight into doubt by organising a meeting at 6.30pm local time to discuss the claims.

According to ESPN, his “eligibility to compete” against Paul will be reviewed and so will “additional documentation submitted” by Silva.
