He switched his training from his adopted home of Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Georgia where Paul recently purchased a £29million ranch.
And with him all the way was personal chef Eric Triliegi - who has worked with the likes of Conor McGregor and Ryan Garcia in the past.
Triliegi - an expert in helping fighters cut weight through nutrition - has the job of making sure Paul is fuelled for 12 weeks of training.
He told SunSport: "For someone like Jake or an athlete it's actually very simple.

HEART-JAKE Jake Paul vows to send Chavez into retirement and goads 'I'll be there for you'
"We want to make sure he's getting enough carbohydrates so he has enough glycogen storage in his muscles to be able to perform.
"We gotta make sure he has enough fat so we can give him some of that good fat energy as well and then he has to have the right amount of protein so we keep him lean.
"When we do the water load, we like to have him have more muscle mass because water and muscle cell combine, water and fat don't combine.
"So I like to make sure that he's lean with muscle, got enough muscle so when the water load happens, it's doing the right things."

Paul's favourite fight camp meal is chicken marsala - an Italian-American dish made of shallots, garlic and a wine sauce.
He has up to four meals a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks mixed in with smoothies between his sessions.

And if Triliegi fancies treating Paul , he serves up a sweet treat - all still healthy, of course.
He said: "Honestly, I'm not big on cheat meals but I will do a no-bake cheesecake, passion fruit cheesecake, things like that.
"But I use all healthy ingredients."
Paul's last fight was up at heavyweight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58.
He jumped up to 227lb (16st 2lb) before winning on points and now drops back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.
And Triliegi said: "The last fight camp for Tyson we were having over 3,400 calories a day - maybe a little bit more.
"We were gaining weight, so it was a lot easier. Now with this, he came in camp light around 215, so the weight cut's been real easy, real simple."
Triliegi has to make sure Paul's calories are reduced as the fight edges closer and the weigh-in approaches.
But the chef - who brought out his own book called Fight Food - even tracks the boxer's SLEEP to help him shed the unwanted pounds
Triliegi said: "I monitor everything, his sleep cycle, light, deep, in REM, his training, rest blocks.
"If everything is going smoothly, he can eat the food that he wants, he can eat when he wants.
"But we just monitor a little bit of the portion control. But other than that, we're monitoring sleep, making sure he doesn't eat too late.
"If you eat too late when you go to bed instead of resting, you're digesting so it's taking away from the purpose of sleep so we pretty much keep track of everything."

Unassuming tower block was seen by millions on beloved noughties sitcom – but do YOU recognise it now?
Can you spot where iconic scenes were filmed HOUSE THAT Unassuming tower block was seen by millions on beloved noughties sitcom – but do YOU recognise it now? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS seemingly plain tower block appeared in a hit noughties sitcom - but could you recognise it now? The flats featured in a much-loved British TV show, although it might look a little different to how you remember it. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Do you recognise this unassuming tower block? Credit: Deadline 8 Zodiac House has been renovated and now boasts 73 modern flats Credit: © Infinite 3D and shedkm Zodiac House, located in London, Croydon, has been fully refurbished into 73 homes. They have been taken on by the local authority and are set to be used as temporary accommodation for those facing homelessness. But one of the flats was once home to Mark and Jeremy, in Peep Show. The duo, played by David Mitchell and Robert Webb, are remembered for their chaotic shenanigans inside the London property, alongside Matt King or 'Super Hans'. New tenants could retrace Jez and Mark's steps through the two-bedroom home and share conversations in the living room while overlooking "majestic views". One flat hit the market last year, and it boasted an integrated, modern kitchen - a step up from the iconic dingy blue one the Peep Show roommates burnt toast in. The family bathroom was similarly been renovated and a long way from the bathtub Jeremy found himself sleeping in many times. The listing, posted by estate agents Black + Blanc, Bromley on Rightmove read: "This an excellent opportunity to purchase a recently fully refurbished and renovated two-bedroom apartment in the iconic Zodiac Court. "The property is an ideal purchase for an individual looking to get onto the property ladder as a first time buyer or a buy to let investor looking to obtain an attractive rental yield." "The owners have been able to refurbish and polish the original parquet flooring, which adds to the character of the property. "The décor is light and airy and will allow a buyer to use their imagination to put their stamp on it." Measuring 792 square feet, the property has two generously sized bedrooms with ample storage in the master and integrated storage in the second. "The apartment is installed with central gas heating, and each room has large gas central heating radiators. "The apartment is integrated with double-glazed windows," the listing added. It was on offer for £300,000 and properties in Croydon had an overall average price of £438,561 over the last year according to Rightmove. 8 It was once home to Mark and Jeremy in Peep Show Credit: Handout 8 The beloved sitcom was filmed inside one of the flats Credit: handout 8 They are now going to be used as temporary accommodation by Croydon Council Credit: Deadline Now, the council have since snapped up Zodiac House as part of their initiative to combat homelessness. The flats will provide a safe space for those waiting for long-term housing. It will also see Croydon Council hit its targets for Homelessness Duty under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. There's a mix of two and three-bedroom flats, like the one described above, available. They will all come furnished with the essentials, and there's a 24-hour concierge. Funds are being sourced from the Right to Buy scheme, Local Authority Housing Grants, and borrowing. Jason Perry, Executive Mayor of Croydon, said: 'This is another step in addressing the significant homelessness challenges we face. "The increased demand for services and shortage of accommodation means we have to look at doing things differently, and the purchase of Zodiac House is a good example of this. 'The scheme will give us 73 residential units to support residents facing homelessness. "This will improve the Council's supply of accommodation and reduce spending on expensive temporary arrangements, as well as providing safe and secure homes for our residents.' This comes as the house that featured in a hugely popular BBC sitcom from the 90s has gone on the market with a £330,000 price tag – but can you name the show? As a clue, the main character's catchphrase was 'I don't believe it.' The property seen in the classic British comedy One Foot in the Grave was the home of the perpetually grumpy character Victor Meldrew and it could be yours for £337,500. The exterior of the terraced property in Christchurch, Dorset, featured heavily in the 1990s show. Meanwhile, Rightmove has revealed the most viewed homes so far in 2025 - including a £59 million townhouse, and an 'historic gem'. The popular property site has something for everyone, whether you're looking for your next home, or simply want to have a bit of a snoop. 8 One of the flats previously hit the market for £300,000 Credit: Deadline 8 There's a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments available

Enzo Maresca taking Club World Cup ‘game by game' as Benfica clash looms
The Blues secured their place in the last 16 of the tournament with a comfortable 3-0 win over Esperance Tunis on Tuesday. As runners-up to Flamengo in Group D, the Londoners booked a clash with the Portuguese giants, who surprisingly beat Bayern Munich to top Group C. Victory would take Chelsea into the last eight and a meeting with Palmeiras or Botafogo, who face each other in an all-Brazilian clash in Philadelphia. Yet coach Enzo Maresca is not looking that far ahead yet, nor is he even thinking about the impact his side's run in the United States could have on their next Premier League campaign. He insists his only focus is on preparing to face the Lisbon side. The Italian said: 'The next game is on Saturday and from there we'll take it game by game. 'I'm not thinking about the final or how long it is before the Premier League starts. 'We can't think about playing in the final if we're not focused on Benfica and the rest of the games afterwards. 'I like to take it game by game, because I think it's the right thing to do.' Maresca has so far been ringing the changes from game to game to spread the workload due to the sweltering conditions. Further rotation is likely, with Maresca having said not to do so would be 'impossible', but striker Nicolas Jackson remains suspended. The Senegal international was handed a two-match ban for his straight red card against Flamengo last week. That could mean another start for new signing Liam Delap, who has impressed in the tournament so far and scored his first goal for the club against Esperance. Maresca said: 'We know Benfica are a top club with a top manager and first-class players. 'It is going to be very difficult but we were 32 teams, now 16 remains and we hope to go to the quarter-finals.'
