Jake Paul showed he is ready for battle with Anderson Silva by riding into their open workouts on a horse.
Paul made quite the entrance for his open workout on Wednesday evening, entertaining the Phoenix fans in attendance by strolling to the ring on top of a horse. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was also joined by his mascot 'The Problem Bot' as he skipped, hit pads and shadow-boxed in the ring. Paul said part of his decision to enter on horseback was to get himself into the mindset that he is going to war against Silva.
"I'm going to war. I feel like a warrior, like a gladiator," he said. "That's really what this is on Saturday as I am going to war. This is one of toughest fighters in the world, a combat sports legend. It's not going to be an easy fight, so I've got to come in on the horse like I'm prepared for battle. don't even know [what the horse is called] as I just met the thing a couple of minutes ago. I didn't even take it for dinner but I did say I would take it for dinner afterwards though, I am a gentleman."
