And his weight shot up to 238 pounds — that’s the equivalent of a 100-pound gain. 17 stones – Training for a controversial clash.

But trouble arose when 58-year-old Tyson was forced to withdraw from the fight due to health precautions and the bout was rescheduled for November 15.

Paul, 27, instead decided to fight Mike Perry, 32, at the cruiserweight limit of 200 pounds, 14 stone 4 pounds.

That left him and his strength and conditioning coach, Larry Wade, with the task of moving a massive amount of weight in just five weeks.

Wade said Most Valuable Promotion“Jake’s weight had ballooned to about 238 pounds.

“And we were talking about five weeks and I asked him what weight class, I said, ‘Are we maybe going up to 210?’

“And it was like, ‘200.’ So we had to lose 38 pounds in five weeks. We lost 38 pounds in five weeks.”

Paul dropped Perry three times in the sixth round and moved on to the postponed fight with Tyson.

And Wade reveals how he got the American up to the cruiserweight limit in less than a month.

“The whole training changed,” he said.

“From building more muscle and getting stronger, to getting leaner, trying to lose some fat as well as some muscle, because it’s hard to separate the two.

“We got to the finish line, and that’s what true professionals know how to do.”
