EXCLUSIVE Jake Paul reveals the secrets behind his meteoric boxing rise as YouTuber plots Anthony Joshua showdown at Wembley from his $39MILLION ranch
Jake Paul is hungry - literally. With just four pounds left to cut before Saturday night's fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, he's already visualising every jab, every round, every outcome and claims the Mexican is simply a stepping to his world title. 'I am a little bit hungry,' Paul says in an exclusive interview with Mail Sport. 'I've got four more pounds to go but other than that my energy is the best it's ever been going into a fight. Make no mistake though, cutting weight requires extreme discipline. You have to rid yourself of any temptation. 'It's a very tough challenge but it's fun to be honest. If you frame it that way and think about it as a good challenge you can get through it. But, the only bit that sucks is the last couple of pounds when you're in the sauna. 'It really feels like you're dying. It feels like you're in the middle of the desert and desperate for water. You watch movies when people are starving to death and it's absolutely brutal, that's what it feels like.' It's the kind of quote that sounds over the top until you remember who's saying it. Paul built a career off of extremes. But in boxing, a sport that has seen its share of showmen, he's no longer just a viral distraction. Against Chavez Jr, a former world champion and the son of a legend, Paul is fighting not just for credibility but for something closer to conviction. The YouTuber-turned-professional fighter claims that both the WBC and WBA are prepared to give him a world ranking if he defeats Chavez Jr at the Honda Centre on Saturday evening, meaning he will be one step closer to that world title he is longing for. As for the fight itself, Paul insists that what happens in the ring on Saturday is already written, at least in his mind. 'I do that visitation ceremony before every fight,' he explains. 'I go into the corner of the ring. I sit exactly where I will be on fight night, and I start the process. It's breath work, meditation, and visualisation all mixed into one. It can get pretty intense. 'I'm very big on manifestation and creating images in your head of the result you want to happen and seeing yourself executing it. It means when you're actually in the room the synapses fire faster and you're actually calling in a higher reality. 'It's also all about getting in touch with God and clearing out any negative energy. You have to align your mind because boxing is arguably more mental than it is physical. Not being able to manage your emotions and fear is not good for the sport.' Paul's obsession with the mental side of boxing has grown in tandem with his ambition. While most fighters work on their world-title goals in quiet, Paul declares his loudly and unapologetically. 'When you're putting those sound vibrations into the universe you're actually making that reality happen faster,' he says. 'So, the faster you put your goals out to the world the faster they will come to you. It's a simple law of attraction. 'I've been doing it since I was young. It works. You have to be a believer too. Some people just expect things to happen though, but you have to put in the work for things to happen as well.' That belief has been met with plenty of doubt, and not just from fans but former fighters and media experts. But Paul insists he's moved past the fear that plagued the early days of his boxing career. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jake Paul (@jakepaul) 'I wouldn't say I had imposter syndrome in the early days but I had a lot of fear getting into the ring. That was because I didn't know what I was actually capable of. I didn't know that I could beat a lot of these guys. 'A lot of the fights I went into in the early days were 50/50 fights. So there was a lot on the line and that brought a lot of fear. It was more so just managing that and how to perform while having that fear.' Fear, he says, still exists. But now it's weaponised - especially the fear of failure, of embarrassment. 'My fear was more about failing publicly than the physical fear of actually being knocked out. I think fear is a good thing though. You have to put pressure on yourself. It makes you become greater in every day life. 'I'm almost backing myself up into a corner that I have to fight my way out. If I'm saying these things I have to hold myself to a higher standard. So, a lot of the times I'm saying these things but I'm actually saying them as a challenge to myself. That's a big part of it. There is also fear of whatever happens in the ring and what can happen to me physically if things didn't go according to plan.' Preparation has become an obsession. He recently spent time at a $39million ranch he purchased with the proceeds from his Mike Tyson fight, where he built a pop-up gym to refresh his camp. 'We were mostly training in Puerto Rico but we've been training there for five years so I wanted to change it up a bit for a week or two,' Paul says. 'I went to my investment property, built a pop-up gym and did a bit of training there. It was a nice change of pace.' Day to day, the grind is brutal. Under strength and conditioning coach Larry Wade, Paul's regime is relentless. 'Training with Larry Wade is very intense and very tough. He's psychotic. He listens to Halloween, killer, intense music before going into the training to rile himself up and then he projects that onto you. It's like Michael Myers theme song. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jake Paul (@jakepaul) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jake Paul (@jakepaul) 'It's very intense and we usually have to pass mile stones like 100 unbroken press ups and 1,000 abs crunches at different points in the camp. It gives you a baseline so you know where you're at and what you're capable of. Especially when you head into the fight you know you're ready and can think of those milestones.' While Wade told DAZN: 'If you can give me 100 push-ups straight, that means not only do you have the strength you need, but you also have the conditioning to support it. That means when it's time to throw hands, you ain't gotta take a break.' He went on to add: 'That said, the workout Jake talks about the most is the 800, 400, 200, 200 workout,' says Wade. 'He'll run 800m, then 400, then 200m and another 200, all with a minute of rest [in between]. 'Depending on where we are in camp, we can do that a minimum of two times to a maximum of four times.' To stay focused, Paul has learned to shut the world out. Sometimes literally. 'I used to get a brand new phone before every fight, as there is people nagging you all the time. I've stopped getting a new phone but I don't respond to people. 'There is so much attention being pulled away from the main goal and the main focus and you don't even realise it. You don't realise how tiring being on your phone and being on social media is. So, I'll go put my phone in a drawer and raw dog life.' What's perhaps most telling ahead of the Chavez Jr fight is not Paul's talk of tactics or weight cuts or even belts, it's the way he talks about perception. For years, he's been cast as boxing's pantomime villain, a role he once embraced. But at 27, the act appears to be evolving. 'As I get older I don't necessarily want to be that villain I have been painted as. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I still enjoy being that s***head at times. I was always the class clown so I can play into that but there [are] people that read deeper into what it is that I am doing know that drama sells. 'People made me into the villain and hated on me since I first started YouTube so I kind of had to embrace it. I think the tide is changing though. 50 per cent of the people out there in the world see me for the person I am. It's the people who just read the headlines and the clickbait that compile this hatred and jealousy towards me.' Still, the edge is never far. He talks almost gleefully about the idea of fighting Anthony Joshua in front of 100,000 fans in the UK next year, nearly all of them booing him. 'I think Wembley is the most iconic venue for that fight. 'I think [it] would be one of the craziest fights and moments of all time. I would literally be walking out into the Lions Den. 100,000 people chanting 'f*** Jake Paul'. There is something about that, that just excites me. I actually can't wait.' It's classic Jake Paul - equal parts chaos and calculation, self-awareness wrapped in spectacle. But if he beats Chavez Jr on Saturday night, the noise may finally begin to fade. And what's left might not be a gimmick, but a contender.

Kneecap gear up for Glastonbury performance - but it won't be shown on BBC
Irish rap trio Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, are gearing up for their Glastonbury performance at the West Holts stage at 4pm on Saturday. Their appearance at Worthy Farm has been surrounded by controversy for weeks with Prime Minister Keir Starmer even calling for their set to be scrapped after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh appeared in court, charged with for allegedly waving a flag in support of the banned terrorist group Hezbollah and chanting "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" during a performance in Brixton last November. O hAnnaidh, known by his stage name Mo Chara, was greeted with cheers from hundreds of fans as he and his bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh turned up at Westminster Magistrates' Court sporting "Free Mo Chara" T-shirts. Ahead of Glastonbury this weekend, due to the controversy over their band member's court case, there has been much public discussion about if they should perform at all. But, the performance is set to go ahead as planned. Here, we bring you all the latest and everything you need to know about the controversial set from the trio. Kier Starmer also commented on the situation. When questioned about whether he thinks the band should perform at the festival, he responded: "No, I don't. I think we need to come down really clearly on this. I won't say too much, because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate." However, their set was later defended by organiser he group are still set to perform. Talking to the BBC as the festival flung open its doors to thousands of revellers today, Emily Eavis was asked: "You are very used to people picking over every aspect of the lineup but the Prime Minister got involved this time, saying it wasn't appropriate for Kneecap to be playing, how have you responded to that?" Emily replied: "We haven't responded to that. At the moment we're just focusing on bringing the best festival to the people who want to come here. We're incredibly lucky that so many people want to come to Glastonbury, we have millions of people who want to come." However, she was then probed: "But it's quite a thing for the Prime Minister to comment, how did you react? How did you feel?" Looking somewhat irritated, Emily said: "I know, it is, there have been a lot of really heated topics this year, but we remain a platform for many, many artists from all over the world and, you know, everyone is welcome here." On Thursday, two days before their set at Worthy Farm, Kneecap shared a powerful message in the build-up. While the rap group will be taking to the stage at the iconic festival, their set will not be shown live on the BBC following the fallout from their political gestures at previous shows. The group shared a short film calling for urgent attention to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Taking to Instagram, they shared the video which opened with a public service announcement graphic that reads: "Please pay attention," in the opening credits. They then read a statement condemning genocide as they draw from sources including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The Lancet, and multiple UN agencies. The words are accompanied by a series of animated illustrations on screen, while as well as interviews with doctors and activists. In the caption for the upload, the group wrote: "Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is. "See it. Say it. Censored.' is an artist-led alternative PSA presented by kneecap that demands urgent action to stop the genocide unfolding in Gaza. "Created by a coalition of artists and powered by the testimony of medics and activists, the film builds on reports from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and UN agencies, to lay out the facts and call for vital action: STOP THE GENOCIDE." Kneecap are 'not likely' to have their upcoming Glastonbury performance shown on the BBC, following controversy over band member Mo Chara's court case. The band's slot at Glastonbury is under scrutiny, but with the rapper bailed until later in the summer, the show will go on ahead of this weekend's festival. Speaking from Westminster last week, he told fans: "For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday. "If you can't be there we'll be on the BBC, if anybody watches the BBC. We'll be at Wembley in September. But most importantly: free, free Palestine." BBC's TV coverage of Glastonbury will start on BBC Two at 5pm, with Kneecap scheduled for 4pm-5pm, just before the broadcast is due to start. Although iPlayer coverage is available throughout, with highlights shown each day in the evenings on BBC One - the band are also not listed for either platform. The BBC's schedule is finalised and can be changed up nto and even during the festival, but so far, there is no sign of Kneecap. A BBC spokesperson said: "As the broadcast partner, the BBC will be bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans will ensure that our programming will meet our editorial guidelines. Decisions about our output will be made in the lead up to the festival." Kneecap is a rap trio from Belfast, the North of Ireland, known for their politically charged lyrics, use of the Irish language, and rebellious attitude. The group includes members Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí. While they are widley loved by many, the trio have sparked debate and controvery due to their openly republicanism and criticsm of British rule in the North of Ireland. Their lyrics often reference Irish nationalism, the Troubles, and anti-establishment sentiments, which has sparked criticism - especially from unionist communities. There has also been much controvery over band member Mo Chara's court case. Mo Chara, 27, whose real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with brandishing a flag backing banned militant group Hezbollah at a gig in November 2024. The 27-year-old faced Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. Supporters and musicians, including Paul Weller, gathered outside. The charge related to an incident after the band's O2 Forum show in Kentish Town, London. However the band had branded the case against the musician as 'witch hunt'. They made the calim in a post shared on Twitter/X after they were investigated by counter-terrorism police in May for videos allegedly showing Liam saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah".
