Jake Paul is gearing up to face BKFC 2023 Male Fighter of the Year and a former UFC fighter, Mike Perry, at Amalie Arena in Florida on July 20th. Now, Perry might not be a seasoned boxer, but he’s a hell of a fighter, which begs the question: who’s coaching ‘The Problem Child’ to ensure he’s ready for this showdown?
Well, the first name that comes to mind is Shane Mosley. He’s worked with Jake in the past for a couple of fights. But this time around, Mosley isn’t in the corner. Instead, Jake has a solid team backing him up throughout his training camp, not to mention a top-notch gym helping him prep for the big day.

To guarantee a win this time around, BJ Flores is taking the lead as Paul’s head coach. Before this, Shane Mosley had been coaching Jake Paul for fights against AnEsonGib and Nate Diaz, bringing his boxing smarts to the table, even though his stint was short. Mosley’s insights really helped sharpen Jake’s strategy and technique during training. Now, BJ Flores has Theo Chambers on board, focusing hard on fine-tuning Jake’s skills and looking to fix any tactical slips, especially after learning from past slip-ups like the Tommy Fury fight.

And let’s not forget J’Leon Love, a crucial part of Jake’s support crew who’s been with him for the long haul. Together, they’re all working to optimize Jake’s training routine as he gears up to take on Mike Perry.
Even though Mosley isn’t the head coach this time, he did drop by Jake’s training camp to prep for the canceled bout against Mike Tyson on July 20th. Despite the changes, this solid coaching lineup shows Jake’s serious about boosting his game and scoring a win in his next fight.

Jake Paul hits the gym hard at his swanky $3.5-4 million warehouse gym in Puerto Rico, where he trains alongside his brother, Logan Paul. This place is top-notch, spanning two stories packed with everything a top athlete could dream of: boxing rings, heavy bag areas, and a serious setup for strength training. Upstairs, Jake’s gone all out for his MMA debut, setting up a replica of the PFL’s SmartCage with all the bells and whistles—branded posts, slick professional lighting, the works.

But it’s not just about the flashy stuff. This gym’s got all the essentials for recovery and staying in peak shape, like ice baths, red light therapy, and even a portable sauna. Jake’s also got his training backed by smart partnerships, like his deal with Celsius, a boost of energy and vitamins to power through those workouts.
With all said, BJ Flores has replaced Shane Mosley for the upcoming fight against Mike Perry. But with another big fight coming in November against Mike Tyson, there’s a good chance Paul may once again elicit help from the former world champion, who may want to start training fighters full-time like his father Jack Mosley. Do you think Mosley’s absence would cost Paul the fight?
