The secret to Jake Paul‘s victory has been revealed! It seems the Problem Child is in Beast mode, which is evident from the clips that he’s been posting for the past few days now, in preparation for his third fight against a professional boxer. However, when Jake Paul revealed a clip of himself ahead of his upcoming fight, fans were left bewildered, wondering what Paul was doing in preparation for the fight. 

In a matter of hours, the Cleveland native will take on Ryan “The Rhino” Bourland on 2 March at Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Hours earlier, the YouTuber-turned-pugilist shared a clip of himself practicing a sort of breathing technique that helps people clear blocks, access new levels, let go of stress, process emotions & heal trauma. ‘The Problem Child’ Paul shared the clip on his second account on Instagram. And here’s how it went!

Accompanied by Luke Macpherson, Paul’s trainer for the breathing technique, Paul can be seen taking deep breaths and forcefully exhaling. He captioned the post “Tomorrow,” emphasizing his fight against Bourland. Going into the fight, Paul is a heavy favorite, especially after his dominant win over Andre August last year.

Fans demand a knockout

While some poked fun at Jake Paul for the unusual exercise before the fight, others showed support for Paul. One user suggested that Paul was practicing some sort of Satanic Ritual to win the fight. The user wrote, “Back at it with the satanic rituals.”

Another user jokingly asked, “Why can’t people be normal?” It’s worth mentioning that Paul might not be alone when it comes to practicing breathing exercises in the lead-up to big fights. The only difference is that other fighters don’t share clips of themselves doing it.

Someone else had a demand for Paul, asking him to knockout Bourland within 3.5 rounds. The user wrote, “I need a knocked out in less than 3.5 rounds!” It’s quite possible that the user has placed some bets on Paul’s fight.

The next user decided to enlighten everyone on what Paul was doing. “Not one of these comments even know or understand what he’s doing… or the fact he’s with [Luke Macpherson] … breath-work! It’s powerful,” the user wrote. 

One user tried to motivate Jake Paul with some kind words of encouragement. The user wrote, “Let’s go, Jake! Knock him out!!” 

With mere hours left in his fight against Ryan Bourland, Jake Paul’s breathing exercise to get ready for the fight didn’t seem to land too well with his fans. However, it would be interesting to see whether it helps him win the fight faster than he did with Andre August.
