JAKE PAUL was left in a race to lose over TWO STONE after his fight with Mike Tyson got cancelled.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was due to make his heavyweight debut against Tyson on July 20.
And he bulked all the way up to 238lb – the equivalent of 17 STONE – in training for the controversial clash.
But disaster struck when Tyson, 58, was forced to pull out amid a health precaution with the bout rescheduled to November 15.
Paul, 27, chose to instead fight replacement Mike Perry, 32, at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.
It left him and strength and conditioning coach Larry Wade with the task of shifting the huge amount of weight with only five weeks to spare.
Wade told Most Valuable Promotions: “Jake had got up to around 238lb.
“And we were looking at five weeks and I asked him what weight class, I was like, ‘Are we gonna be 210 maybe?’
“And he was like, ‘200.’ So we had to lose 38lbs in five weeks. We lost 38lb in five weeks.”
Paul dropped Perry three times on the way to a sixth-round stoppage and moves onto his postponed bout with Tyson.
And Wade opened up on how he got the American down to the cruiserweight limit in just over a month’s time.
He said: “The entire training changed.
“From bulking up and getting more muscle and getting stronger to leaning out, trying to lose some fat and at the same time a little muscle because it’s hard to separate the two.
“We got to the finish line and that’s what true professionals know how to do.”
