The pair have been at their respective throats over a heated build-up, and the sparks continue to fly as they get closer to a historic bout in Qatar, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View.

Now speaking in front of his rival on DAZN's FACE-OFF, Gib has suggested his rival does not have the self-confidence and believe to avoid crumbling under the bright lights.

"This skinny t***?" he said. "What’s he going to do? You don’t have it in you to fight me. I know the character’s not there. I’ll see you on your bike.

"Have you seen the size of me? The shoulders, the width. I’m bigger than you. You’re a twig, man. I’ll break you. I’m a slow starter. That’s your best chance.

"As the time is ticking, you’re going to get drowned. You think you can compete with me? Never, bro. You’re an idiot and a liar. Now look who’s scared."

Gib will be looking to improve upon a ring record of 6-1, with his lone loss against Jake Paul, while Slim brings an unbeaten 7-0 record to the table.
