Logan Paul has insisted his fight with Dillon Danis is going ahead.
The two men have a tense relationship and clashed at a news conference on Thursday prior to their fight on Saturday night.
Paul was left 'very angry' after his opponent threw a microphone that struck him cleanly on the head.
Earlier on Friday, Danis took to X to say he would be fighting Paul's brother, Jake, instead.
You wish. See you tomorrow 😘 https://t.co/nFKHml9Uvh

"Since Logan Paul missed weight and the fight has been cancelled, I'll be facing Jake Paul tomorrow night, live on DAZN!" he said.
But Paul has hit back and set the record straight in the process.
"You wish. See you tomorrow," he said, while accompanying his post with a kissing emoji.
Certainly, there is plenty of bad blood between the duo.
Danis has been regularly posting about Paul's fiancee, Nina Agdal, with the model filing a lawsuit for 'revenge porn' in retaliation.
Per the complainant, Danis posted a 'sexually explicit photograph' of Agdal that was taken without her consent.
The lawsuit included requests for a temporary restraining order against Danis, as well as a preliminary injunction to stop him from posting more photos or videos, and an eventual permanent restraining order.
It was granted by Judge Madeline Cox Arleo in New Jersey last month.
Paul has mocked Danis over his alleged daughter, while also jibing his opponent over the death of his father last year.
As a result, it means Manchester's showdown is set to bring in the views with many eager to see how the fight goes down.
Earlier on Friday, Danis upped the ante by saying Paul had failed to make weight.
"The commission's rules state that weigh-ins are between 10 and 11," he said.
"If you miss the 11 o'clock deadline, you've missed weight.
"I weighed in at 10:15, but Logan still hasn't.
"The commission said that if he doesn't arrive by the 11am deadline, the fight is off.
"He missed the weight, but then called Misfits and changed the rules to give himself an extra hour.
"We should be on an even playing field, he shouldn't get special treatment.
"He’s already got more juice than Tropicana. He missed the weight, plain and simple.
"They’re trying to handicap me as much as possible."
However, Paul then took to social media to confirm he had made weight - posting a video that showed him on the scales.
