JAKE PAUL will enter his short-notice rematch with Tyron Woodley at a career-light weight, his coach BJ Flores has revealed.
Paul will renew his rivalry with the former UFC welterweight champion early on Sunday morning in Tampa, Florida.
The Problem Child has trimmed down considerably for his third outing of the year, which he plans to be more ‘aggressive’ in.
Coach told The Wade Concept YouTube channel: “Jake’s got a big chip on his shoulder from the last Tyron fight. He really does.
“He’s been working very hard and instead of going out and celebrating the money or whatever else he made on the last fight, he got right back in the gym.
“He started working hard, we’ve switched a couple of things up, he’ll come in lighter for this fight, he’ll be quicker, more aggressive.
“His output is going to be faster paced and we can still box and move the whole fight but it’s going to be a much different version of Jake Paul.
“So I’m really excited about it and Jake just can’t wait to get in there, doesn’t matter against who.”

Paul’s trimmer frame is the result of him switching up his strength and conditioning coach.
Flores revealed: “We brought in a new strength and conditioning coach and we’re rolling, this is great.
“We’re still working with the other coach as well and he still helps out but we’ve got a new guy that’s increasing our level of fitness and our strength and power even more.
“We’ve got a dietician for Jake as well to make sure his eating is perfect and make sure there’s nothing extra in his diet that will take away from his performance.
“We really dialled that in this camp, got his blood levels tested and everything to make sure of the foods that respond well with his blood type.
“We did it all to make sure that we lined everything up perfectly to make sure that he’s ready to go out there and perform.
“We’ve got it dialled in – he could go 10 rounds right now!”
Paul, 24, registered a split decision victory over Woodley in their August showdown in Flores, but Flores is confident the fight won’t go the distance second time around.
He told SunSport: “Jake’s a lot better now than he was on August 29th, he’s a lot better.”
“And you’ve got to remember, he just started boxing, so in a short period he gets a lot better very quickly.
“He’s only been boxing two years, so four months is 15 per cent of his entire career, so he’s getting a lot better.”
“I know it will be a tough fight, Tyron will be tough in the beginning, but we expect Tyron won’t go the distance this time.”
