JAKE PAUL was “s****ing himself” after being forced to separate giants Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira.
Ngannou – who stands 6ft 4in – makes his MMA return after two years out the cage on October 19 against 6ft 8in Ferreira.
And YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul had the terrifying task of keeping the peace when the two came together to face off.
A close up angle of the stare down revealed his frightened face as one fan said: “Jake Paul is shaking in his boots.”
Another joked: “Jake Paul was s****ing himself while Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira faced off.”
Paul himself responded: “Can confirm I s***.”

Ngannou then faced Anthony Joshua in March but was brutally knocked out in two rounds.
He now returns to MMA to face Ferreira, 37, in his PFL debut as Paul emerged unscathed from their stare-down.
