Logan Paul’s hardcore training regime revealed as star grinds in the gym six days a week
LOGAN PAUL has said some very silly things ahead of his mega-money rematch with KSI on Saturday - but his training regime has been deadly serious.
The benefits of drinking raw cow blood or abstaining from sex for a month remaining a cloudy subject.
And his and trainer Shannon Briggs’ vow to become a world champion inside five years is, as even the fighters own promoter Eddie Hearn admits, “ridiculous”.
But you cannot question the 24-year-old’s attitude to old-school hard graft when it comes to his professional debut in the fight game.
The former high-school wrestler and dreamboat for teenage girls all around the world, has put his vlogging and podcasting on the back burner and worked like a trojan to get himself in the best possible shape for his Los Angeles showdown.
Trained by two-time world champ Briggs and Milton Lacroix, Paul has dedicated the last 18 months of his life to the upcoming 18-minute bout.
After learning all about KSI’s training regime from 3-0 cruiserweight and coach Viddal Riley, SunSport broke down Paul’s strict schedule.
For six days of the week, Paul goes at it hardcore for four hours a day.
After waking up at 9am in his adopted home of Los Angeles, the 6ft 2in powerhouse boxes until 11:30am.
His claims of knocking out and hurting unbeaten professional fighters in sparring are laughable but he has released enough footage to prove he has been at the grind.
And in the 40 Days documentary there were scenes of him taking a bloody beating to prove he was not always whacking push-over.
The early action is halted to eat a hoard of fresh food – the hunk was a vegan around the time of the original August 2018 bout and has claimed it seriously affected his fitness and power.
Then there is an ice bath that the millionaire vlogger has had installed into his sun-soaked garden alongside the ring that dominates the landscape.
On top of that chilly dip, Paul will spend time in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to further boost his recovery after his muscles were abused for the first half of the morning.
The strength and conditioning training that has helped sculpt the former highschool wrestler into a man mountain takes place at around 6:30pm when California has cooled down.
The workout lasts between 90 minutes and two hours and is followed by more food, rest and eight hour’s sleep for the reformed playboy.
Paul showed excellent flexibility at the media work-out down on Venice Beach on Tuesday night, not just able to touch the floor with his legs straight, but able to plant his palms completely flat on the canvas to show off his suppleness.
The impressive bendiness comes from two-hour long sessions with a guru named, quite perfectly, Ibok Ubok.
Paul insists thanks to his youth cutting up to 3st in weight for wrestling bouts, he will have no problem being under 14st 4lbs on Friday and he was walking about at around 198lbs cut 24 hours before the measuring.
