Adin backed his YouTuber friend Jake Paul after hearing Idris’s comments about his upcoming fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson.

Paul is taking on “Iron Mike” Tyson, who is more than double the influencer’s age, on Saturday 20 July.

The Love Islander said he could not believe a “legend of the sport of boxing” such as Tyson would strike up a fight with Youtuber, turned boxer, Paul.

Adin, 23, hit back on a live stream saying: “Jake Paul will knock you the f*** out.”

He entered the villa on day 36 as a bombshell, but was later dumped from the Island four days later.

During those days he did cause some drama though – as he told Laura Anderson what truly happened between Jack Fowler and Georgia Steel.

Idris failed to catch the eye of Alexandra Cane, meaning he was booted off the show.

Speaking about his time on Love Island, he explained how it was the “best experience of my life”.

He the MailOnline: “I learned how to not get too heated when someone’s stepping on my toes.

“It changed my career and I’ve got to give props to the show. It taught me that it doesn’t matter who you are – be silly and be confident in what you’re doing.

“You’re the only person who can judge you. It gave me a big confidence boost.”

Idris is a successful boxer who started his career in 2015.

He competes in the Super Middleweight division.

Last year he revealed plans to move away from the ring.

Idris told the Daily Star: “I do want to start acting, I want to get into acting and hopefully get into a small series or a cameo in one of those movies.”
