A Fighter by His Trade

Jake Paul has committed himself to boxing, but it’s still unclear whether he can, or needs to, emerge as a true title contender.

The boxer rises just before noon, late by traditionally accepted standards, normal for a fighter looking to train his body to peak in the evening hours. He eats a light breakfast—oatmeal, some sliced fruit, washed down with a glass of Himalayan salt water—prepared by a live-in chef who prepares all his meals—before heading to the gym. The gym—his gym—is an abandoned medical supply building he purchased with his brother shortly after both decided to move to Puerto Rico.
