      “I’ve got this knockout for y’all. Trust me.”
      Former UFC middleweight champion Silva – who beat ex-WBC 160lb titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – will be the most decorated striker Paul has fought in his career.

      A day in the life of Jake Paul: YouTube star takes us inside his brutal training schedule ahead of Anderson Silva fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL has such a hectic training schedule he barely has time to eat lunch as the boxing star gave an insight into his daily routine. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns over the weekend in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, live on Showtime PPV.

      And for the biggest fight in his 5-0 career, Paul is cutting no corners in camp, whether that be in the gym or recovery.
      The American, based in sunny Puerto Rico, has given SunSport an exclusive look into his training regime, running down a day in the life.
      MORNING
      Paul conducts his sparring sessions at night, to get his body accustomed to fighting at that time.
      So he likes to lay in in until midday after a good night’s sleep, before preparing for the rest of the day.
      He said: “Usually I wake up around 1pm. We train a lot of times at night, we spar at night to sort of mimic the fight. 
      “I wake up and will do some sort of workout if I’m not sparring at night and that can be mitts, shadow boxing.

      “Then after that we usually do abs, neck and a jog. Or weight training.” 
      Paul fills up on a high-protein breakfast of eggs on toast and often swerves lunch.
      He revealed: “Breakfast is just like an omelette, with one piece of toast. 
      “And then sometimes I’ll skip lunch, I’m not really a big lunch person and I think that sort of helps me drop weight.”

      AFTERNOON
      After a morning session, Paul focus on recovery and makes use of all the state-of-the-art equipment at his disposal.
      He has a theralight bed that he will lay in, used to boost energy levels.
      Another technique Paul favours is swapping from his ice bath and hot tub, which lessens muscle fatigue, aiding recovery for injuries.
      Revealing his routine, he said: “I have a stretch therapist, I go into the red light bed, I have a theralight bed that I use.

      “Then I’ll come home, drink some protein right into the ice bath, then I go ice tub, hot tub, ice bath.
      “That usually recharges me right away.”
      As established, Paul snubs a big lunch meal and instead enjoys something light.
      He said: “I’ll usually have like a snack, maybe some fruit and a snack usually like a high-fibre protein bar.”

      EVENING
      If Paul is not sparring at night, he goes back to his roots with content creating.
      He has a new podcast, called BS With Jake Paul, as well as launching micro-betting app Betr, giving him a focus outside of boxing.
      Paul said: “Pretty much the rest of the day I’m either doing interviews like these or working on Betr or my show BS with Jake Paul, which is my new endeavour. 
      “Then there will be some sort of recovery at night.”

      Paul is coming down from 190lb to 187lb for a catchweight clash with Silva, 47, so is watching what he eats for dinner.
      He said: “Dinner is like chicken kenowa, steak kenowa, fish, rice, not a lot of carbs. So it’s been a really tough diet coming down to 187lb. 
      “But we’re wanting to go it the right way, where I can wake up on the morning of the weigh in and have pasta if I want to. 
      “I weigh like 195 right now, so a lot of fighters could just jump in the sauna but that kills you in the fight, you’ll have nothing left in the fight. 
      “So we cut weight the right way, ahead of time so I don’t have to sit in the sauna or the steam room and I’ll actually be in that weight.”

      In the build up to the 187lb catchweight bout, Paul gave fans a behind-the-scenes look into his training camp in Puerto Rico.
      The American hit pads with his co-trainer Danny Smith and worked out on a reaction bag.
      And following a short hiatus from the ring, Paul promised to come back better than ever.
      He said: “It’s about getting those 10,000 reps in to become a master. And so the technique is continuing to improve.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Bringing my hips and my legs into the punches more and more. Even just growing my stamina to throw more punches.
      “It’s been a constant evolution and my power has increased dramatically, which is scary for Anderson.
      “So many things are clicking with it being my third year of being a professional boxer.
      “I’ve improved drastically and exponentially. People are going to see a different fighter in the ring.

      “I think people are going to be shocked. It’s been amazing and we’ve really caught a stride and a rhythm with the training camp this year.”
      Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
      That added to KOs over online rival “AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.
      Woodley only filled on under two weeks’ notice after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out of his grudge match against Paul with a rib injury.
      The celeb mega-fight was rescheduled for August in New York – but that was soon KOd when Fury suffered US visa issues.

      Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed as a substitute, only for lightening to strike twice, this time due to a weight disagreement.
      So Paul has had an agonising ten month wait to get back in the ring but claimed it has been a blessing it disguise.
      He said: “I believe there is a higher power guiding my boxing career.
      “I feel like I’ve had a really rough run; last-minute opponent changes, all types of stuff, people not wanting to make weight.

      “These moments with fighters pulling out, maybe it’s all happening for a reason.
      “If anything, I’ve just had so many more months training in secrecy, getting better and better and better.”

      ‘I’m not holding my breath’ – KSI fears Jake Paul will talk himself out of 2023 fight and WON’T wait for YouTube rival

      by

      KSI admitted he is not holding his breath over an anticipated grudge fight with Jake Paul and will not wait around for his rival. The British YouTube, rap and celebrity boxing star in August returned to the ring, winning two farcical fights on the same night.

      Jake Paul offered to fight KSI this year
      It followed after his initial opponent Alex Wassabi, 32, pulled out due to a concussion suffered in sparring.
      Paul, 25, offered to step in a replace Wassabi but KSI, 29, rejected him and instead proposed a mega-fight at Wembley next year.
      But he fears the American could KO the idea by acting up at the negotiation table.
      KSI told Men’s Health: “The plan is, it’s still on. But it’s not going to be as easy as everyone thinks it is.

      “There’s going to be a lot of back and forth, a lot of negotiations. I’m not holding my breath.”
      Paul returns next weekend in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his biggest fight to date.
      The Brazilian will also be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record, having had four wins and one loss in the ring.
      For KSI, he is set to return on January 14 with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, who he beat in 2019, on the undercard.

      The Londoner could then target the anticipated grudge match with his great rival but refuses to put all his eggs in one basket.
      KSI said: “I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m just waiting for him. If he’s down and we get the contract right, then it’s a go.
      “But if he’s going to make this whole situation very long, then I’m just going to find other opponents until he decides to get his s*** together.
      “He just wants to fight people that he knows he’s going to beat. He’s not that great. I like the illusion people think he’s way better than me.”

      And as the fight draws closer, the YouTuber-turned boxer starts to dial in even more – but it comes at the cost of seeing his partner.
      Paul, 25, said on his podcast: “Julia is not here, she got kicked out of training camp because we’re not allowed to have girls around.
      “Just to like build up that dog mentality and to lock in and really train like a caged animal.
      “Because, when you’re around a girl there’s a neurochemical called oxytocin that’s released and it makes you relaxed, it makes you more comfortable.

      “If you’re going to ask me to fight a YouTuber, KSI, who plays Fifa on the internet for a living and Jake Paul who does whatever he does, sign me up, not a problem.
      “He’s very lucky that them fights haven’t come off yet. I don’t know what the other one KSI is mentioning my name for because he’s even worse than Jake Paul, so I don’t really know what’s going on.
      “Two fools that need shutting up, so let me tend to my actual business first against actual fighting men and then I will happily get them out of boxing.”

      But the YouTuber-turned boxer, who is training in Puerto Rico, expects it will be worth the wait, believing a career-high purse is coming his way.
      Paul, 25, told SunSport: “Hopefully it does well.
      “I think it will, the numbers are all showing that. So yeah, this could definitely be my highest payday. 
      “I haven’t really focussed on that, even saying that is one of the first times I’ve even thought about it.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Just because of how much the fight means and how focussed I am and how big the challenge is at hand. 
      “The payday is just the cherry on top for the opportunity at hand.”
      It was revealed last year Paul made £30MILLION from boxing alone, averaging £10m a fight.
      And he predicts 700,000 pay-per-view buys for the toughest fight of his career against Silva, 47, which makes around £45m in box office receipts alone.
