Jake Paul reportedly has a 'secret weapon' leaking clues to him just days before he attempts to pull off one of the biggest upsets in boxing history against former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Paul and Joshua will step into the ring at the Kaseya Center in Miami for one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
Joshua, who reigned as unified heavyweight champion between 2018 and 2019 and again from 2019 to 2021, is widely expected to win comfortably.
However, since the bout was announced in November, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has insisted he is capable of causing a major upset.

After the fight was confirmed, the American labelled December 19 as 'Judgment Day', presenting it as his chance to prove he can challenge for a world title in the future.
He reinforced that message during a public workout on Tuesday.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Paul said: "One of us is going to sleep - that's what we're going to do here. That's what this heavyweight fight is all about.
"I started my boxing journey here in Miami.
"We're bringing it back and I'm going to shock the world and pull off the biggest upset in sports history."
Now, Naika Bidarian, who co-founded Most Valuable Promotions with Paul, has claimed the American has a 'secret weapon' ahead of Friday's fight.
In a clip shared on the MVP YouTube channel, Bidarian can he heard shouting "Jake's secret weapon" as Joshua speaks with Caroline Dubois.
As Joshua and Dubois posed for photographs on either side of Bidarian, the British heavyweight credited the promoter for signing Dubois.
Bidarian replied: "The best signing bro.
"Secret weapon, you don't know the clues she's been giving Jake."
Both Dubois and Joshua laughed off the exchange, before Joshua joked: "I'm looking for a fight."
Paul will hope Dubois is able to pass on some insight through her brother Daniel, who knocked Joshua out in the fifth round at Wembley in September 2024.
Caroline Dubois, 24, is 12 years younger than Joshua, but her career path has so far followed a similar trajectory.
Both emerged through GB Boxing's amateur system and competed at the Olympic Games, with Joshua winning gold in 2012 and Dubois reaching the quarter-finals in 2021.
Both have also enjoyed success in the professional rankings, although Dubois remains at an earlier stage of her career.
She became the WBC lightweight world champion in December 2024 and will look to defend her title on Friday's undercard.
Her bout against Italy's Camila Panatta will be her first since signing with MVP.
After joining the promotion, Dubois described the move as a key step in her 'mission to become the face of women's boxing'.
