Jake Paul is fully committed to his boxing career, ensuring his nutrition and training meet the highest standards. In a recent Men’s Health YouTube video, Jake Paul offered a glimpse into his fridge and gym, sharing insights into his disciplined approach to training for combat sports.
Paul recently secured another victory in his professional boxing record by knocking out UFC veteran Mike Perry in the sixth round. This win was a key moment for Paul, who had initially been slated to face boxing legend Mike Tyson. However, Tyson had to withdraw from the match due to health issues.
After defeating Perry, Paul issued a challenge to former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. Pereira responded by contacting Paul via FaceTime shortly after the fight. While fans are eager to see this potential matchup, Pereira’s current contract with the UFC makes it unlikely.
As Paul continues to build his boxing career, he may reignite his rivalry with Tyson. Fans are eager to see how these potential matchups will unfold as Paul seeks to further establish himself in the sport.

In addition to Celsius energy drinks, Jake Paul maintains a steady supply of Wagyu beef to fuel his rigorous training regimen. This high-quality protein source is a key part of his diet, providing the necessary nutrients to support his demanding workout schedule.
“First and foremost, we always have Celsius to keep us going but we also always have this Wagyu, I’m a big big steak guy. This is like 5-6 pounds of Wagyu, you see the marbling there, this is like real Japanese Wagyu it tastes so good. This is what really keeps me going. I look forward to eating this pretty much every night.”
Interestingly, Jake Paul keeps his body wash in the fridge, right next to one of his favorite snacks, smoked salmon. He also enjoys ginger shots and is particular about drinking water only from glass containers.
“Another staple is the W body wash, I like to keep my body wash cold, don’t ask me why I like to keep it cold. Down here, we got our smoked salmon, great snack, some more cow, filet Angus, we always got our ginger shots and our ketone shots.”
“As a PSA to people to stop drinking plastic water bottles, seriously, I only have glass water.”
Before heading into his home gym, Paul explained how his diet has changed. He described the shift from his days as a YouTube star to his current role as a professional boxer.
“I’m naturally a fat kid at heart. I grew up eating Hamburger Helper, Burger King, all of hat stuff in Ohio. That’s what I was used to and that’s what I kept on eating when I moved into Los Angeles but since becoming a professional boxer, I learned a healthy diet and more of a balance.
A lot of times I’m cutting weight so I’m eating on a calorie deficit. Right now, I still have 15 pounds to lose in the next 20 days. But it’s really basic. It’s not that hard. You don’t need to overcomplicate it. Eggs, potatoes, steak, chicken, fruit, yogurt, all the necessities.”
To stay hydrated, Paul drinks water with pink Himalayan sea salt each morning, along with black coffee. For breakfast, he prefers oatmeal, eggs, and potatoes.
“I drink sodium water every morning, the pink Himalayan sea salt that really keeps me hydrated since I sweat a ton,” adds Paul. “Oatmeal, eggs, potatoes, got to have black coffee. I love my black coffee and that will get me ready for my first practice.”
For dinner, Paul usually has a small serving of pasta with a protein, such as chicken or steak.
“I’ll come back and have some Thai Chicken and rice, or sometimes a chicken sandwich, so you get a mix of protein and a little bit of carbs to get me ready for my second practice.
Train super hard and then it’s dinner time. Dinner is a little bit of pasta and any choice of meat whether it’s chicken or steak. That’s really it. I don’t eat a lot of vegetables.”
Go-To Comfort Food: Hawaiian Pizza
Midnight Cravings: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich or bagel with cream cheese
Snacking While Cutting Weight: Paul maintains a strict regimen.
“When I’m cutting weight, there’s no snacks after dinner. If I do cheat, I’ll have a bag of chips, salt and vinegar or popcorn chips that are really good.”
The Problem Child’s Gym
Paul gave fans a tour of his gym and explained his training routine.
“This is where all the sweat, blood, and tears come from,” said Paul. “I train twice a day five to six times a week. On Saturday, it’s just a five-mile run, the first session is always boxing drills, sparring, hitting the heavy bag, jumping rope, all the boxing stuff. Then I come back later at night, either to the track or I come back to the gym to do strength and conditioning and that’s basically what I do every single day on repeat.”
He noted that his training schedule has naturally become stricter as his boxing career has progressed.
“Lots of emphasis on my footwork. So, at least, once a week I just do drills and really building up the strength for all the small muscles down through the ankles,” said Paul. “Injuries are always a lingering thing but thankfully, knock on wood, I have a body that doesn’t typically injure. Unlike, my brother, I got the strong body genes, he got the ripped genes.”
“The Kaiser [air machine] is really good to just work and build explosiveness in random areas and dynamic punches, this is probably one of the main things that we use,” adds Paul. “We’re also focused on overall athleticism, a lot of boxers aren’t that athletic, and so, if you can work on that and build that explosiveness, that speed, that is also very very important.”
Most Intense Workout: Track Running (4x 800 Meters)

Jake Paul described his most grueling workout as running on the track, where he tackles four sets of 800 meters. This intense regimen pushes his endurance and stamina to their limits.
Paul also opened up about his biggest training challenge: the relentless repetition required to reach a world championship level in boxing. The monotonous nature of these drills tests his mental and physical resilience.
“My biggest challenge with working out is the thousands of repetitions and getting the 10,000 hours to become world champion and just doing things over and over and over again and going back to the basics, the jab, the right hand, the hook, boxing is the hardest thing I’ve done and after boxing everything else in life is easy to be honest,” shared Jake Paul.
Following his recent ring triumph, Jake Paul aims to build on his success as an emerging professional boxer. If UFC star Alex Pereira were to face Paul, and Dana White approved the bout, it could be an electrifying matchup.
