JAKE PAUL is known to bully fighters in the ring, according to his sparring partner.
Before his two last fights, the YouTuber sparred with Anthony Taylor, an MMA veteran.

Taylor spoke out about secret training sessions and the new style of boxing Paul is learning under BJ Flores.
Betway Insider was told by him: "Jake is a bully. He bullies you."
He is very aggressive and comes forward. If he needs to, he will overwhelm you. I am used to working with men as tall as him.
Jake is strong and fast - surprising for a YouTuber who has become a boxer. The guy is an athlete naturally.
"Jake is a very aggressive man in the ring. He is a man of great heart and has a tremendous chin. He also has the support of a great team.
"BJ has been doing an amazing job with Jake, and you're about to see a new Jake. You're going see that this kid is real.
"Jake is a good defensive player. He's tall and strong, so don't let yourself be beaten; just keep your distance.
"Jake worked hard with his footwork in order to get out of dangerous situations."
Paul is now 3-0 with wins over YouTuber "AnEsonGib", ex-NBA star Nate Robinson (37), and Ben Askren (37), all by knockout.
He will be facing ex-UFC champion Tyron Whiteley on August 29th in his fourth, and most difficult fight.
To sparring with Taylor, Taylor had to be drafted in as a second consecutive MMA fighter.
Paul is not only sharing rounds with MMA veterans, but also 'unbeaten boxers' who are allegedly left stunned by the social-media sensation.
Taylor, 32, said that Jake likes sparring with the best. He's bringing in undefeated boxers.
"He brought Jean Pascal, boxers who have 20-30 fights. He's telling them to 'go to work'. 'Don't be easy on Jake' is how TeamPaul rolls.
"Jake isn't fighting MMA fighters, he's beating them up. He is fighting real boxers, and they are giving him a lot of trouble.
"Because many boxers come into here the first day, and say, "He ain’t no fighter”, and then they spar him, and then they say, “I didn’t know he wasn’t that good.”
