Controversial YouTube star Jake Paul reveals why he only has sex with his girlfriend 'once a week'

According to Jake Paul, the hardest part about being a boxer is the sacrifices – in particular having to avoid sex and alcohol during training.

‘No sex is the hardest part. Pun intended,’ the YouTube entrepreneur said in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia. ‘I’m completely sober and I’m only allowed to have sex once a week!’

Jake, 24, elegantly described his girlfriend as ‘hot as f**k’, making his six-days-a-week celibacy vow all the more challenging.

Jake went on to praise his partner for being supportive of his upstart boxing career, adding: ‘She’s boxing too!’

Professional fighting is just the latest in the millionaire’s long line of successful career endeavours, having already amassed more than seven billion views and 20 million subscribers on his YouTube lifestyle vlog, starred in a hit Disney Channel series, and had two singles chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Jake is preparing to fight retired UFC star and Olympic wrestler Ben Askren, 36, for Triller’s Fight Club in April.

‘I’m training daily, sometimes six, seven days a week,’ he revealed, before rattling off his extensive training regimen.

‘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, I’m sparring 2-3 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!

‘I’m watching film on a daily basis, I’m studying my sparring; strength and conditioning, hang cleans, strengthening small tendons, stretching, massaging, doing ice baths, I’m in the sauna, I’m doing cryotherapy…’

‘Does that answer your question?’ he laughed.

Jake is no stranger to controversy, even angering the mayor of Calabasas by throwing a massive party in July last year, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

He’s since moved to Miami in a bid to eliminate distractions and focus solely on his boxing career.

Who is Jake Paul?

Jake Paul first found fame at the age of 16, when he began filming prank and lifestyle content for the now-defunct video platform Vine.

Executives at Disney soon caught wind of Paul’s success and he was signed to a lead role in the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark in early 2016.

By the time Vine folded in 2017, Paul was already a rising star on other social media platforms. He now boasts 20 million YouTube subscribers, five million Facebook followers, 3.2 million Instagram followers and one million on Twitter – thanks largely to an infamous 2016 stunt in which he ran naked through Times Square in New York City.

In 2017, Paul launched an influencer marketing and creative agency targeted at the teen market, called Team 10.

He began producing albums and music videos from his Calabasas mansion, with the single It’s Everyday Bro landing at number 91 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The track did a lot better on YouTube, where it has 278 million views.

In 2017, Paul was fired from Bizaardvark in the middle of its second season, due to backlash from a report on Californian news network KTLA about parties and noise complaints at his Calabasas mansion.

Paul then shifted his focus to music, touring America with Team 10 throughout 2018.

Paul started boxing in 2018, winning his first two professional fights in convincing fashion.

And despite critics scouring over every comment, upload and tweet in an attempt to find evidence of a slip-up, his latest venture has been surprisingly devoid of drama.

In January 2020, he beat fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib by TKO after 2:18 in the first round of his first professional fight.

He followed up the impressive win in November, flattening NBA star Nate Robinson in the second round of the co-main event at Triller’s Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr pay-per-view.

Neither opponent managed to land a punch.

Laundry list: Jake is training ‘six, sometimes seven days a week’ for the bout. His training regimen includes marathons, sparring sessions against world champions, yoga, cryotherapy and a chicken and vegetable diet

Jake’s April 17 bout against Ben Askren will be the first time he’s fought a man with professional knockouts to his name.

‘I don’t care if he hits hard. You have to be able to hit someone to affect them,’ he laughed.

‘Boxing is a sacrifice, that’s what people don’t get. A lot of people don’t think I take this s**t seriously but I’m a lot more serious than some of these [air quote] “fighters.”‘

‘It’s just the fact that I switched my profession to professional boxing and now all of a sudden i’m looking at these people and I’m like, damn, you work about ten-percent as hard as I do. And you call yourself a fighter? Cool.

‘I don’t need to prove myself to all these people.’
