Logan Paul has bizarrely claimed he is "drinking the blood of cows" in order to help him prepare for his November 9 rematch with KSI.
Paul drew with his fellow YouTube star in Manchester last year but both men have ditched the headguards and turned professional to set the record straight.
The pair are both in the middle of gruelling training regimes ahead of their Los Angeles showdown - and the 24-year-old American says he is being transformed into a machine.
But that supposedly involves the strange ritual of drinking cow blood in order to ensure he enters the ring in peak physical condition.
“They’re making a machine out of me,” Paul told Business Insider.
“I’m eating 80lbs a day. I’m drinking the blood of cows and I’m pushing a lot of weights up in the air and putting them down.”
Opponent KSI, meanwhile, revealed this week he has been getting training tips from bantamweight world champion Nonito Donaire as part of his training camp in Las Vegas.
“He just came through and told me some gems,” KSI told The Mayweather Channel.
“This is why I love coming to places like this, there’s nothing like it.
“You have world champions coming through and telling you to do this, do that. It just increases your boxing IQ and makes you a better boxer.
“One small thing has improved my boxing IQ tremendously.”
The pair will clash on Sky Sports pay-per-view at a sold-out Staples Center with both men looking to go one better than their draw last year.
