Haaland’s participation follows his induction as the third PRIME athlete, following the inclusion of UFC stars Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski in the movement.

A whole host of topics were discussed in the episode but at one point Haaland was asked about KSI’s next bout, which is taking place in Manchester on October 14.
Paul told him to forget about the fact that KSI was sat next to him in an Arsenal shirt and quizzed him on who he thinks will win.
Haaland paused for a few moments, before saying: “The other guy.” That prompted KSI to laugh hysterically and reply, “Haaland I hope you score no more goals!”.
The striker revealed he had actually saw what went down in the fiery press conference, which ended up abruptly when John Fury caused utter chaos and destroyed the tables on stage after completing losing his cool.
“I saw the press conference, it kicked off a bit there.”
The former Borussia Dortmund man also talked about KSI and Deji back in a 2020 Instagram live andadmitted he used to watch the brothers growing up.
Paul asked Haaland: “You used to watch KSI…”
Haaland responded: “Yeah, I watched a little bit when I was younger.”
KSI reacted by saying:”Aw, I’m gassed!”
Haaland smashed in 52 goals for City last season and has started the new campaign with three in his four matches in the Premier League.
He missed the first penalty of his Premier League career on Sunday before putting Pep Guardiola’s side 1-0 up against Sheffield United.
