JAKE PAUL is set to fight at his lowest ever weight in Saturday’s Florida showdown against Tyron Woodley.
And his coach BJ Flores has promised a “quicker, more aggressive” style from the 4-0 star.
Paul weighed in at 190lbs in his last bout with Woodley, defeating the former UFC champion on points.
But in shedding weight, coming in at a record low of 187lbs, he may have a better chance of maintaining his rhythm for the duration of the fight as he seeks to record a fourth KO of his career.
Flores certainly fancies his chances, telling The W.A.D.E 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.”
Woodley was a last-minute replacement for Tommy Fury after the Brit withdrew through illness and injury.
And although Paul may lose out on some PPVs sales as a result, he could still make eight figures, as he has done in his previous three fights according to his own claims.
Despite the weight loss Flores is confident Paul will not lose any of his knock-out power.
He added: “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!”
