    “I was drinking like seven weeks before and I was like, what the f**k am I doing?

    He said: “You think like, ‘Okay, no one’s really beat me or given me a crazy challenge’.
    “In hindsight, it’s so stupid and that’s why I’m saying it out loud.

    Paul says he only came to his senses a matter of weeks before the Saudi showdown.
    The social media sensation said: “It was like January 5th when I was like bro, what the f**k am I doing?
    “I’m done with this shit and sure enough, I lost because of that.”
    Paul bounced back from defeat to Fury in August with a unanimous decision victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz.
    Fury, meanwhile, will be back in action next Saturday in a Manchester melee against YouTuber KSI.
