Essex looked ripped on the scales just a day before his debut bout while Numeiro attempted one more mind game.
The Portuguese prankster and social media influencer wore a picture of Essex’s face on his briefs as he weighed in.
TOWIE’s Essex laughed off the stunt and said: “What a w****r!”
The 35-year-old makes his anticipated debut for Misfits Boxing – the home of celebrity-style crossover bouts.
He has been trained by his uncle Tony Sims – an esteemed British coach to the likes of Conor Benn and formerly Anthony Joshua.
Essex continued his verbal onslaught telling Numeiro: “Every time you see me in the hotel lobby you say nothing. You’re all talk.
“Watch when I see you in that ring. Stop doing you little Instagram things and all that. We will see. You are a little w****r.”
But Numeiro hit back: “Why are you trying to act tough? You from Love Island, bro. No one takes you seriously.”
