Paul's video, titled "A Day in My Life While Training for Chavez Jr. on June 28," shows him in a less-than-flattering light. He starts his day looking bloated and sluggish, struggling to get out of bed. His morning routine gets even weirder when he washes his face with an ice-based concoction.
The video then takes a turn for the absurd. Paul motivates himself to exercise by chasing a hot dog dangled from a fishing rod while running on a treadmill in the rain. Later, he's seen sitting in a luxury car filled with junk food, chowing down on tacos.
To top it all off, Paul dons a hat reminiscent of the Mexican TV character "El Chavo del Ocho," apparently taking a jab at Chávez Jr.'s heritage.
This unconventional approach to fight promotion isn't new for Paul, who's known for his provocative social media tactics. By portraying himself as out of shape and undisciplined, he's clearly trying to get under Chávez Jr.'s skin and drum up interest in their bout.
The fight itself is a big deal for Paul. Chávez Jr., a former WBC middleweight champion, represents a significant step up in competition for the social media star. Their 10-round cruiserweight clash will be available on DAZN pay-per-view.
"I'm taking this fight seriously," Paul said in a recent interview. "Chávez Jr. is a real boxer with a strong pedigree. But I'm ready to show the world what I can do."
While Paul's video has certainly got people talking, it remains to be seen how it will affect the fight's outcome. One thing's for sure: fans will be tuning in on June 28 to see if Paul's unconventional training methods pay off in the ring.
