JAKE PAUL was in peck-tacular form ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson - working out with a ROOSTER hat on. The YouTuber-turned-boxer - who gave himself the nickname El Gallo which translates to The Rooster - faces Tyson on Friday in Texas. And the two kicked off their fight week schedule with an open workout at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving.
Paul rocked up wearing a red rooster cap and performed to the crowd, also revealing his bulked up frame. And he wrapped up his slot by showing off some combinations and even turning southpaw in a hopeful bid to throw off 58-fight legend Tyson. Paul - only 10-1 himself after four year as a professional prizefighter - claimed his career will just begin with a victory over Tyson.
