      JAKE PAUL took training camp to his new £30million ranch in the sweltering Georgia heat – where he was pushed the point of almost no return.

But this year he purchased a stunning 5,700 acre piece of land costing £30m – spending the fortune he made against Mike Tyson. Temperatures can soar past 30 degrees in the height of the summer in Georgia – and Paul felt every bit of it during camp. Head coach Theo Chambers told SunSport: “I like it because one thing, you can’t turn the air conditioning on outside! So I loved it. READ MORE IN BOXING”It was outside and it was hot.”Assistant trainer J’Leon Love said: “That was dope.

Jake Paul’s trainer admits he refused to coach YouTube star at first… and reveals what convinced him to make U-turnIn fact, he threatened to SACK his coaches after being pushed to his absolute limit during the gruelling training camp. Love said: “Listen, if you hire me or you hire our team as a whole, I don’t care what you wanna do or what you have planned. “Once the mission is set, we dial in and do what we do and you do it, you know what I mean? That’s it.”I don’t care how much money you got.

The coach has rubbed shoulders with some of boxing’s best – and expects high standards even for 11-1 Paul who only turned pro in 2020. Chambers said: “I saw the grind from Tommy Hearns, Darrell Chambers, Gerald McClellan, Milton McCrory, Lennox Lewis, Miguel Cotto.”So I personally only know one way and that’s to work hard, train hard. Boxing is more mental than it is a physical thing.”So if I’m getting fired. I know I’m doing my job.”Paul also has esteemed strength and conditioning coach Larry Wade – who has worked with several world champions – in his camp. And Wade revealed: “We want world championship performance, so we need world championship effort.”And if you don’t know that, it could be considered a physical and more so mental challenge, and that was the key.”And once he was able to grasp that, hey, we weren’t backing down, he was just forced him to just absorb it and say, ‘OK, let me get this work in.'” Paul returns for the first time since November when he beat Tyson – who controversially made a comeback aged 58. He has since dropped TWO STONE to drop back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb to face Chavez Jr. Paul says victory could land him a shock ranking with the WBC and put him in line to challenge for Badou Jack’s world title. Trainer Chambers said: “I like to be challenged. So I like my guys to be challenged. These MMA guys, they do not stand a chance with Jake Paul.”So I would like to see him fight guys like Chavez, guys like Badou Jack.”Love, who spent years training alongside Jack, added: “I know who Badou is as a fighter, he’s a dog. “If that is something that happens in the future, wow that’d be dope and great. It’d definitely be a mission. “You know who Badou Jack is, the world knows who Badou Jack is.

And after Paul took Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy the distance a year later – despite losing a split-decision – he was convinced to accept the gig.
