Logan and Jake Paul: From top tier YouTubers to world-class professional boxers

Logan Paul said Tyron Woodley is “f***ed” and should be “scared” as his brother Jake revealed ‘a day in fight camp’.

Jake, the younger Paul, faces the ex-UFC champion on August 29 in his home of Cleveland.

And he gave fans an insight into his training camp, with Logan sending a warning to Woodley.

He said: “Jake’s sharp as f***, bro. Tyron’s f***ed, I’ve been saying it since day one. I’d be scared if I was Tyron.”

Jake then added: “We work too hard, we’re too dedicated, we have the best team. He’s not working like this.

“I look amazing in sparring, coming in hot, feeling great, this guy – once the ten-ounce gloves come on – I’m telling you he’s not going to last.

“I’m about to send him into retirement.”

In the video, Jake skips with his brother Logan shows off his shadow boxing and hits the pads with trainer BJ Flores.

He then linked up with world champion Amanda Serrano – who fights on his undercard – with the pair training in Puerto Rico.

Jake said: “Wow, incredible sparring yesterday, my right hand might be God.

“But, today we are back at it again down in Puerto Rico, Amanda Serrano in the building, the legend.”

Jake, 24, and Serrano, 32, are then captured hitting heavy bags together and drilling pad work with coach Flores.

Logan, 26, added: “Jake, believe it or not, is a very smart boxer. He uses his brain and he’ll outbox you in a smart and strategic way.

“He plays chess with his fists, not chequers.”

Jake is 3-0 in his career all by knockout with wins over online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.

But he promises his return against Woodley, 39, will top the lot.

Jake said: “This fight is a dream come true, it’s a surreal moment. Going back to Cleveland, Ohio.

“Putting on for my city, I’m going 110 per cent, August 29th, I’m putting Tyron Woodley to sleep, be ready.”

Jake Paul is ready to prove the world wrong yet again.

And the men sparring with Paul are buying into the hype.

11-0 light heavyweight Robin Safar said he rated Paul’s speed and reactions when he sparred with the YouTuber before his fight against ex-NBA star Nate Robinson.

“He’s naturally born with speed, explosiveness and reactions, that’s what you’re born with,” he said.

“I feel like when I sparred him, he was developing his ring IQ, he was trying to think in the ring.

“He’s a good kid and he’s got ambition for what he’s doing, he’s determined and I believe anybody can do anything in life, no matter who you are or what your background is.

18-10 MMA fighter Jake Bostwick also praised the YouTuber.

“I genuinely rate his boxing, I rate his work ethic and I rate how comfortable he is in there with someone of my calibre or anyone else he’s working with,” he said.

“I hit him with some clean shots, he didn’t care, threw some shots back, slipping, moving, his jab is good.

“He’s not just this stupid person people think he is who runs his mouth, he is super polite, the dude was like, ‘please, thank you’, he shook my hand.”
