Paul was among a host of celebs who turned out in north-west London for the epic battle, which saw Usyk win in style with a fifth round KO.

He told DAZN: “Yeh 100 per cent it’s going to happen. We’re going to do the unthinkable and create one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing.

“It’s not even about it being realistic or not, it’s gonna happen so fasten your seatbelts.

“And when I knock him out I’ll go down in the history books forever.”

Paul also told talkSPORT: “I’m here for the vibes and the fight, Usyk is one of my favourite fights, I’m here to enjoy Wembley.

“Its gonna happen, I want it to happen here, all the odds stacked against me.

“I believe I’ll beat him and shock the world and create one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

“I see (Fury is backing me), he’s a smart lad. I love it, the UK fans really love boxing even more than American fans.

“I’m going around the pubs, asking all the people what they think about the fight, love the atmosphere.

“And this is always history when you’re at Wembley.”
