JAKE PAUL is so diligent in his training preparations that he even has a BREATHING coach in his entourage.
Behind every great champion is an even greater team – and although Paul is some way of that – he still leaves no stone unturned.
The YouTuber-turned boxer returns on Sunday in Saudi Arabia against rival Tommy Fury in an anticipated grudge match.
Ahead of the fight, SunSport runs down the familiar faces in Paul’s camp, from trainers to family members.
Logan Paul
Perhaps the most recognisable name is older brother Logan, also a YouTube, boxing and now WWE star.
Jake and Logan are inseparable but do have different training teams, although they are always supporting each other.

Despite the close bond, the brothers still refuse to rule out one day fighting each other in an unprecedented bout.

Greg Paul
Dad Greg is possibly to thank for the success of Jake, 26, and Logan, 27, having ingrained a tireless work ethic into them.
He is also always there on fight night, cheering on his boys.
Greg has even been caught in the crosshairs of Jake’s feuds, most recently with ex-UFC fighter Nate Diaz, 37.

Pam Stepnick
Mum Pam – who is split from Greg – is definitely Jake and Logan’s No1 fan.
And she even braves a ringside seat to watch her lads in action.
Pam, like Greg, has been at every one of their fights and Sunday against Fury, 23, is no different.
BJ Flores
Ex-cruiserweight world title challenger Flores has coached Jake for all of his sixth professional fights.
He has overseen his development from the get go, training everywhere from America, Puerto Rico and Dubai.
Flores in late 2021 brought on his ex-cornerman Danny Smith to co-train Jake.
Danny Smith
Smith came on board after Jake beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, on points in August 2021.
And for their rematch four months on, Woodley was knocked out with the improvements there for all to see.
Smith is often seen holding the pads for Jake, while Flores keeps a keen eye watching on.
J’Leon Love
Love was once a super-middleweight contender, mentored by the legendary Floyd Mayweather.
But he also joined Jake at the start of his boxing journey and has not fought himself since 2021.
Love is an assistant coach within the team, helping to strategise and game plan.
Lukis Mac
Mac is Jake’s breathing coach.
He has also been there from the beginning, helping compose the prankster-gone-prizefighter in the ring.
Before every fight, Jake and Mac will meditate in the win and visualise a win, going six for six so far.
Marcos Guerrero
The unsung hero of the squad is Guerrero, who essentially helps run Jake’s hectic life.

He started out as his assistant but has now transformed into chief operating officer in the Jake Paul business.
Guerrero helps co-ordinate Jake’s schedule, which consists of anything from boxing, to business and content creating.
