Jake Paul's Weight Transformation
Jake Paul has unveiled a bold plan to bulk up to a massive 240lb before cutting down for his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson. This move marks his first foray into the heavyweight division as he prepares to clash with the boxing legend on July 20 in Texas.
Training Regimen and Strategy
Former trainer Shane Mosley disclosed that Paul is currently weighing in at 230lb, with the YouTuber hinting that he could reach 240lb and then drop back down to 220lb to maintain his speed. Paul explained that the weight gain will make his muscles stronger, allowing for increased speed during his training camp.
Comparing Weights with Anthony Joshua
Paul's plan to hit 240lb is a stark contrast to his previous weight of 183.6lb. In comparison, Anthony Joshua bulked up to 252.4lb for his recent victory over Francis Ngannou. At 6ft 1in, Paul's BMI at 240lb would classify him as obese according to NHS standards.
Training Camp Adjustments
Despite the weight gain, Paul remains dedicated to his training regimen, emphasizing the importance of hard work and dedication. He noted that while the training camp would remain similar, there would be adjustments in his diet, recovery, and sparring partners, including facing heavier opponents for added intensity.
