Jake Paul has his sights set on a world championship as he returns to ring to face Andre August.<\/p>\n
It's his third fight of the year having lost to Tommy Fury and beat Nate Diaz. 'The Problem Child', 26, has declared his intention to move away from the influencer and crossover scene to focus on sporting success, starting with 10-1 pro August tonight (December 15).<\/p>\n
Paul has always taken his boxing career seriously, and that includes his bedroom behaviour – with bonking playing a big part in his bout preparation, as he's previously explained in the following sex confessions.<\/p>\n

Bonk ban<\/h3>\n
He won't have been getting down and dirty in the build-up to his bout – because he puts himself on a self-imposed sex ban in the two weeks before fight night.<\/p>\n
"Our coaches say we can\u2019t, but it\u2019s like scientific. Like if I have sex the night before I will go in the ring and look like a rag doll," he said during a 2021 appearance on the Full Send podcast.<\/p>\n
There's no getting around it either, with Paul going on to add: "My coach can tell straight away, even after one round of sparring."<\/p>\n

Slipping up<\/h3>\n
While he mostly sticks to the rules, Paul admitted on In Depth with Graham Bensinger that he has flouted them on occasion – but soon paid the price for his slackness.<\/p>\n
He explained: "A lot of fighters are affected by it, including myself and I'm 100% sure [it's not all mental], I don't believe in placebo, I have to experience things for myself.<\/p>\n
"I've only messed up on occasion once or twice because it's noticeably different, and I take more punishment in sparring if I do that."<\/p>\n
Sex once a week<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Paul is given a little bit more leeway when he's in a training camp months out from fighting for real given the intense nature of his routine. Although he still feels it's not enough.<\/p>\n
He told the Daily Mail in February 2021: "I'm doing sprints – I'm jogging five, six, seven miles. I'm doing thousands of push ups, abs every day, neck exercises. I'm boxing, hitting the heavy bag, hitting the speed bag.<\/p>\n
"I'm sparring two to three times a week against world champions, I'm doing yoga, I'm eating chicken and vegetables and cutting out all the bad stuff. I'm completely sober and I'm only allowed to have sex once a week!"<\/p>\n
Threesomes loophole<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
When dating ex-girlfriend Julia Rose, Paul explained on the Full Send podcast that he wasn't tempted to cheat because he'd already slept around in his youth.<\/p>\n
But he did admit there's a threesome loophole that can cause him a lot of temptation. "You got to get a girl who lets you do threesomes," he said.<\/p>\n
"We do have threesomes but not before the fight. I am not allowed to. It\u2019s very tempting. She will be like teasing me and I am like, \u2018f*** you'."<\/p>\n
Sparring a dildo<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
While his training sex is limited, Paul managed to bizarrely incorporate a sex toy into his preparations last Christmas – sparring a dildo which was placed on the worktop in his kitchen. <\/p>\n
Uploading a clip of himself pretending it was a punch bag to social media, he captioned the post: "No days off. Keeping my reflexes sharp. Merry Christmas."<\/p>\n
Porn star throuple<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
It's not his confession, but Paul was alleged to have formed a week-long throuple with porn stars Sky Bri and Rara Knupps after breaking up with Rose and before he met Leerdam, which he failed to deny.<\/p>\n
They claimed on the DoKnowsWorld podcast last year: "He slid in my Instagram DMs and was like 'I want you to come to Puerto Rico' and I was like 'I'm down, but only if I can bring my best friend Rochelle'.<\/p>\n
"Word for word he goes 'how do you guys feel about a throuple?' We were like let's run it baby."<\/p>\n
Bri and Knupps then showed off their matching "Jakey P" tattoos and added that they'd FaceTimed with his mum who was told about the throuple.<\/p>\n
