The former Disney star shared a clip of himself performing explosive standing oblique twists with a weighted duffle bag on his X and Instagram pages on Wednesday.
His accompanying caption read: “24 days. Ready to eat.”

Social media sensation Paul will enter his clash with Bourland on the back of a first-round knockout of Andre August last December.
And he plans to continue his post-Tommy Fury loss rebuild by taking out Bourland in a similar fashion.
In his fight announcement, Paul said: “The goal is simple, build the skillset to become world champion.
“Next up is a guy who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do. Ryan “The Rhino” Bourland.
“And just like the animal in his bone-chilling nickname… he is also endangered.” More

BOXING fans have called for John Fury’s phone to be taken off him after he revealed his demands to fight Mike Tyson’s friend Joe Egan. John – father to Tyson and Tommy Fury – once claimed to be the fittest man his age and challenged anyone to prove him otherwise.
John Fury responded to Joe Egan’s challenge
Irish heavyweight Egan – a former sparring partner of Tyson’s – recently offered to take up 59-year-old John’s offer and called for a fight.
That sparked interest from YouTuber-turned boxer KSI’s Misfits promotion who claimed an offer to stage the bout would be sent.
John has now addressed the challenge for the first time but insisted he will only come to the negotiation table once KSI pays up a previous £200,000 wager.
He said: “Okay Joe Egan, here’s where it’s at.

“You’re saying KSI is backing you for millions of pounds when he can’t pay me my 200 (thousand) that they owe me. But here’s one for you, mate.
“Tell that rat next to you, that pineapple wire me my money across that he owes me and once it’s in my account, then we might be able to do some business.
“But until I get my 200 nothing’s happening. But if I do get my 200 what he needs to do then is put an offer in writing to me what he is prepared to offer me to fight you.
“I’m not hard to do business with, mate. And at the end of the day, like you say you want to make a few quid and I will fight anybody if it makes business sense.

“So here’s what they’ve got to do, because I said I’d never do any more business with that rat, ever. But you’re there going on, on the internet making yourself busy, now it’s personal, Joe.
“Because at the end of the day, you better hope he does back you for millions because you’re gonna have to fight me anyway when you see me, ain’t you, for being disrespectful.
Mike Tyson warns John Fury his pal is ‘coming for him’ after bizarre Russell Crowe row –
“Joe, you’re going to have to fight me when you see me. So let’s hope they can, so we can make a few quid out of it. Because when I see you, mate it’s coats off, telling you now.”
The threat did little to impress fans, as one said: “Please take his phone off him. Please.”
Another added: “All talk that bloke.”
John bet KSI £200,000 that his son Tommy would stop him in their celebrity grudge match.
Tommy did walk away victorious but on points, meaning the wager was never paid.
John has recently been embroiled in a war of words with former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch amid criticism of son Tyson.
And last year he called out heavyweight legend Tyson but Iron Mike recently responded and challenged him to fight Egan instead.
KSI and Misfits Boxing are prepared to back me to the tune of millions pounds to make the fight between me and you. Joe Egan to John Fury
Egan – a former amateur champion – mocked John’s string of social media callouts and instead told him to accept Misfits’ multimillion deal.
He said: “John Fury, why are you avoiding me? Saying there’s no money in fighting me.
“I’ve stepped up to the mark, John and accepted your challenge. You’re saying now there’s no money in fighting me.
“Well, I beg to differ, John. Because KSI and Misfits Boxing are prepared to back me to the tune of millions pounds to make the fight between me and you.
“You’re throwing out challenges to Mike Tyson, now to Carl Froch, who you gonna challenge next? Carl Frampton? Sylvester Stallone? Rocky Balboa?
“Step up to the mark John, to the challenge that’s in front of you. Don’t swerve me, John. Because I’m ready to fight.

And he will do so against his most experienced opponent yet in Ryan Bourland, who holds a record of 17-2.
Bourland is a former amateur champion but in 2018 he hung up his gloves and worked on the oil rigs.
He said: “Boxing is not easy.
“Taking punches isn’t the most fun thing to do, and I’ve been doing it for a long time, but I’m not making that much money.

“I haven’t had health insurance for a while.”
On working on the oil rigs, Bourland said: “It’s dangerous and hard work, but boxing is dangerous and is really hard work.
“After they saw my resume, I got a couple of calls, and they told me ‘You are exactly what we are looking for.’
“My dad told me, ‘You’re crazy. You know how cold it is up there?’

“So I went out and bought a bunch of thermals and stuff like that, so hopefully I will be prepared.
“I got a call about fighting for a belt in Las Vegas, but it’s only for about $10,000.

“By the time I pay my team and train for two months, it’s not that much.”
Bourland did make a return in 2022 and defeated Santario Martin, his third win on the spin.
Paul, 27, meanwhile suffered his first defeat last year, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
He bounced back six months later to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on points over ten rounds.
But in his next fight, Paul announced plans to take a more traditional boxing approach to face more seasoned but less-known opposition.
That started in December when he took on 10-1-1 boxer Andre August, 35, who he knocked out in the first round.
Now Bourland, 35, will be the next man in line to face Paul, who has been insistent on one day challenging for a world title.

JAKE PAUL announced he will return against his most experienced opponent yet in Ryan Bourland. The YouTuber-turned boxer knocked out cruiserweight boxer Andre August in the first round in December.

He will make a quick return on March 2, featuring on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming.
And 17-2 Bourland – a former national amateur champion – will be the man to welcome Paul back to the ring for his tenth professional bout.
Paul wrote online: “The goal is simple, build the skillset to become world champion.
“Next up is a guy who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do. Ryan “The Rhino” Bourland.

“And just like the animal in his bone chilling nickname… he is also endangered.”
Paul, 27, suffered defeat for the first time last year, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
But he returned in the August to defeat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on points over eight rounds.
Paul then revealed he would change his career trajectory but facing traditional boxers with less profile to build experience.

And 10-1-1 August, 35, was the first seasoned boxer that the social media sensation beat following a vicious right uppercut.
Now Bourland, 35, will be the next but the veteran warned he is coming to take it all from Paul.
He said: “Jake Paul steps into the ring with his social media clout, but let’s not mistake followers for experience or skill.
“While he’s been busy chasing likes, I’ve been honing my craft for years, stepping into the ring and beating real boxers.
“On Saturday, March 2 I will shock the world and put an end to Jake Paul’s boxing career.”
Bourland – an ex-Golden Gloves champion and junior Olympics boxer – is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Santario Martin in September 2022.
It was his third victory on the spin but he did retire in 2018 and only returned before the win over Martin.
So Paul – who insisted fans will never be satisfied with his choice of opponent – is likely to have expected backlash on his next fight.

One fan said: “What a joke.”
Another fumed: “Another day another nobody.”
But one argued: “Seems like a step up. A lot more experience at least.”
Another agreed: “Another step up from Jake. You won’t be seeing boxers at the beginning of their career doing stuff like this.”
Paul insisted the fight – on regular DAZN not pay-per-view – is the next step in his ambitious road to a world title shot.
And he reaffirmed that his purse will be donated to his Boxing Bullies charity to renovate more gyms.
Paul said: “I’ve always said my goal is to become a world champion. I beat a pro boxer in December in the first round, someone who’s been boxing their entire life, and what did I do next?
“I went straight back to camp to get ready to face my next opponent, a professional boxer who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do.

Fury this month revealed he had undergone hand surgery for an injury that has hampered him since 2019.
And he claimed it disrupted his training to fight KSI.
Many believe this is what lies behind KSI’s own ‘injury reveal’.
KSI, 30, posted online: “Since 2015 I have been dealing with a toothache that I’ve never spoken about/shared online.

“Since my first professional fight I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to box at all.
“For the last four weeks of my last camp I was only able to do jumping jacks until fight night.
“This morning I underwent surgery I’ve been putting off for years as I know this is the only way my tooth will heal and that I can move forward with my boxing career.
“I’m excited for my recovery journey and so ready to be back feeling 100% in 2024.”

He wrote: “Since 2019 I have been dealing with a hand injury that I’ve never spoken about/shared online.
“Since my third professional fight I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to use my right hand at all.
“For the last four weeks of my last camp I trained solely with my left hand until fight night.
“This morning I underwent the surgery I’ve been putting off for years as I know this is the only way my hand will heal and that I can move forward with my boxing career.
“I’m excited for my recovery journey and so ready to be back feeling and giving 100% in 2024.”
The almost identical message had fans adamant KSI was mocking Fury.
One wrote: “The trolling is crazy.”
Another added: “Dig at Tommy.”
But one argued: “This would be a funnier troll if he had beaten Tommy but now he just looks like a sore loser no matter what he does.”
Fury, who also beat Jake Paul in 2023, has started his recovery by training with one hand and the other in a cast.
