Jake Paul has used "secret weapon" to prepare for Anderson Silva fight

Jake Paul has prepared for his fight with UFC legend Anderson Silva by bringing in a “secret weapon”.

Paul, 25, faces the toughest test of his newfound boxing career in 47-year-old Silva this Saturday. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has gone through 50 sparring partners in the last year, testing himself against the likes of former world champion Chad Dawson and Tyson Fury ’s former opponent Steve Cunningham. Led by his coach BJ Flores, Paul carried out his entire training camp for Silva in his Puerto Rico gym and brought in a “secret weapon” to prepare for the Brazilian.

“We brought a little secret weapon into camp and it has paid off drastically,” Flores said. “We're excited about it and all of Jake's sparring partners have been saying the same thing, we’ve tried to keep it quiet but we'll find out on Saturday. No hints but it will be obvious after the fight. It's going to be a drastic difference." Paul has previously vowed to use his “secret punches” to knockout Silva and Flores refused to reveal specifics about the “weapon” they implemented his fighter's training camp."
