Paul, 26, has established himself as one of the best screen-to-ring scrappers around.

He has won eight of his nine professional fights, beating ex-UFC stars like Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz.

His latest victory came with a savage first-round KO of Andre August that left the boxing world in disbelief.

His sole defeat in his professional career was a controversial split decision against boxer Tommy Fury earlier this year.

The ace is now lining up a new bout, with Paul eager to take on KSI — who has already beaten his brother Logan.

But in the meantime, he is set for an incredible adventure with Team USA.

Paul announced he will be training with their Olympic boxing squad in Colorado Springs.

The social media star has struck a partnership with Team USA’s boxers. And he will also go with them to the Paris 2024 Games to help promote them.

“I’m honoured to partner with USA Boxing as the 2024 Paris Olympics approach,” he said.

“I’ll be training with the Olympic squad in Colorado Springs this winter and accompanying them to Paris this July to amplify our country’s best amateur boxers.

“My commitment to boxing is much more than my in ring accomplishments. I am determined to make my impact outside the ring bigger than anything I do within it.

“I believe the United States has the best boxers. Let’s put it to the test.

“Anyone who works hard enough to fight for their country in the most iconic contest has my support. Team USA let’s go!!! See y’all in Paris.”
