Jake Paul was left bloodied in training as his fight with Tommy Fury moves to within 10 days of finally taking place in Saudi Arabia next week.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has taken a massive step-up to face Fury, his first legitimate professional boxer after going 6-0 against celebrities and MMA legends. As such, he has left no stone unturned in his preparation, and was evidently still taking on intensive training today judging by a video on the Most Valuable Promotions Instagram page.
Paul can be seen in footage posted by his promotional outlet after a gruelling session being motivated by former world title contender J'Leon Love and his coach Danny Smith. The American has been in an intensive camp for the Fury fight that dates back considerably longer than when the bout was initially announced, and it appears that he is not tapering off just yet.
The caption for the video reads "No blood, no glory. Jake Paul is ready. Tommy Fury is ready. #PaulFury Sunday, February 26 from Saudi Arabia." In the footage, Smith can be heard giving a speech where he says "If you want to fight, sometimes you've got to fight. You've got to stand in that motherf***er and do that s***."
Fans were impressed in the comments section, with some branding him a "warrior" and joking that he will send Fury "back to reality TV", referencing the Brit's stint on ITV's Love Island. However, some fans have questioned how recent the footage is, with one noting that Paul recently got a tattoo to promote a vodka company that isn't visible in the clip.

'The Problem Child' recently met up with popular UK DJ Sloth, who promised to gift him $250,000 if he tattooed a bottle of Au Vodka on his arm. In a video posted on Paul's Instagram account, the boxer meets up with Sloth who has $250,000 cash in a briefcase.
The pair shake on the bet and Paul promises to drink the vodka after he knocks out Fury in their upcoming fight. As Paul prepares to get the tattoo, he says he would have done it for free to which Sloth jokingly asks for the $250,000 back. The tattoo artist then stencils the design, which shows a bottle of Au vodka, onto Paul's upper arm before tattooing it on. Paul then proudly shows off his new ink.
Paul has spent the last weeks of his camp in Dubai, acclimatising to the radical change in conditions from fighting in America to the Middle East. Meanwhile, Fury opted to stay in the UK where he has been training with his dad John in Bolton, instead leaving for Saudi Arabia today.
