The online personality's last bout was the much-anticipated Miami exhibition with Mayweather, 44, as he survived all eight rounds to take it the distance.

Paul, 26, faced, and technically avoided defeat, against the one of the best and most lucrative boxers of all time - although it was just an exhibition bout.

But speaking at his brother Jake's win against Tyron Woodley, Paul sought to embellish his achievement somewhat.

Asked if he plans to return to the ring, Paul said: "I retired Floyd Mayweather. The dude's on my highlight reel. I busted his ear drum.

"So yeah, I'm going to be back in a big f***ing way.

"I'm just on some s*** right now, I'm doing something else but I'll be back."

"You think about the Roman Colosseum, when you watch the gladiators fight to the death. Look around.

"My brother filled this arena up in Cleveland, Ohio, his home city. It's the coolest thing anyone could ever ask for.

"I've said it before, I'll say it again: Fighters, bro, modern day gladiators. There is no more dangerous athlete.

"When the fighter walks in the room, everyone feels it. He's got a presence. And it's cool, I love it.
