By Agboola Ibrahim

The anticipated clash between Jake Paul and older boxer, Mike Tyson is fast around the corner. Ahead of the clash happening on Friday this week, Jake Paul has unveiled his staggering weight which bestows confidence in the stakes on him.

The 58-year old boxer who took his last professional fight in 2005 will be taking on an eight-round context in Texas with a notable American YouTuber who is now an emerging boxer.

The 34-year old younger boxer, Jake Paul is beginning to gain recognition since his professional debut in 2022. He has cleared 10 out of his 11 previous fights, throwing former UFC champions Tyson Woodley, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz during that time and now desperate to double up his score by contesting against the former heavyweight boxer Tyson who is resuming the ring after years of temporary retirement.

Speaking with ‘The Timbo SugaShow’, Jake Paul revealed that he is currently weighing around 224lbs, almost 40lbs heavier than he was for the Tommy Fury fight, and that he intends to remain around that weight.

"I’ve just been trying to eat as much as possible. I have noticed that, as soon as I stop stuffing myself in each meal, I will quickly drop to 221lbs, 220lbs, 219lbs, so I have been eating a lot more to try and stay up there.

“[An average day for me] is probably around 3800 – 4000 calories but [I’ve just been eating] the usual; eggs, toast, potatoes, steak, chicken, rice, I don’t really like vegetables. Then I’ll have a peanut and jelly [sandwich] at night – that s**t bangs.”
