Jake Paul admits he’s scared
“This is something that’s woken me up,” Paul said on his YouTube channel. “This fight scares me. It plays in my mind at night. It’s hard to sleep. I had two options: run away or say ‘you will not stop me,’ and I’m going to prove the world wrong. This is going to be the biggest upset in the sport of boxing. This camp has been very difficult, very taxing on the body, but I’m here to challenge myself and to see what I’m capable of and prepare myself for the toughest battle yet.”
“It’s by far the most challenging and craziest fight I’ve done to date, and I will win,” Paul said. “There’s going to be fear. Especially when you’re the underdog, all the things are stacked against you. You have to be able to persevere. I’m going to do the impossible. He’s going to have to kill me to stop me, and I’m ready to die.”
