Logan Paul explains why he is going to Puerto Rico

Until now, the internet sensation had been training in his gym. Moreover, he had not yet started his full-fledged fight camp. However, this move showed he is taking his training to the next level. So why Puerto Rico of all places?

Paul explained his decision by saying, “Puerto Rico makes sense because you enter training camp for two to three months straight at a time where you can’t do anything anyways. I can’t go out and enjoy that Miami night life, I can’t go out and enjoy that LA night life.”

This comment shows how seriously ‘The Maverick’ is taking his training ahead of the fight. He wants to avoid any distraction that could deter his preparations. Therefore, it makes sense for Paul to shift base to another country.

The YouTuber has faced criticism for his boxing training, and many experts believe Mayweather can beat him without even training. It appears as though Paul has taken this criticism personally and wants to do everything he can to put in a good account of himself.
