Jake Paul's commitment to boxing can only be applauded after he revealed his strict sex routine around fight week.
The YouTuber-turned boxer - who is finally set to take on Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia this Sunday (26 February) - has opened up on the temptations he faces before a fight.
In a previous interview, the younger brother of Logan claimed that his girlfriend Julia Rose is constantly tempting him to have sex.

However, Paul explained that he doesn't have sex for two weeks before a fight due to a 'scientific' reason that can put him off his game.
"Our coaches say we can’t, but it’s like scientific. Like if I have sex the night before I will go in the ring and look like a rag doll," he said during a 2021 appearance on the Full Send podcast.
"My coach can tell straight away, even after one round of sparring."
When asked if he ever gets tempted to cheat on his woman with other girls, 'The Problem Child' assured the hosts that there is a 'loop hole'.

"You got to get a girl who lets you do threesomes," he said.
Continuing to talk about his fight prep, he said: "We abstain for two weeks.
"We do have threesomes but not before the fight. I am not allowed to. It’s very tempting.
"She will be like teasing me and I am like, ‘f*** you.'"

Well, ahead of the hotly-anticipated fight - which most of us are embarrassed to admit how invested we are in - Paul featured on an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored where expressed his need to prove that he can beat a professional boxer, which has been the 'number one criticism' of his career so far.
"I love it man, I love big moments, I love the high stakes," Paul said.
"This is what I came into this sport to do, to put on big pay-per-views, big events. And I’m putting it all on the line - the bigger the risk the bigger the reward."
Morgan went on to ask him how much money he has made in his short but impactful career.

"A lot, a lot. It gets to a point where you make so much, you don’t even count it any more. So yeah, I don’t really know," Paul explained.
The British TV host wasn't believing a single word, however, the 26-year-old insisted that he genuinely doesn't know.
He added: "I promise you Piers Morgan, I have no idea.
"I make money in lump sums, residuals, investments, equity, exits of companies.
"So the net worth is always going up and down, you are moving with the markets and such.

"I mean it when I say, you stop paying attention at some point."
