Jake Paul features in insane training footage involving large snake after dropping dream fight list
Jake Paul has left fans shocked with a bizarre training method involving a snake as he gears up for his return to boxing.
Paul has been out of action after he was knocked out by Anthony Joshua in December and suffered a broken jaw in their Netflix superfight.
But despite the serious injury which required two surgeries, the Problem Child is not hanging up his gloves just yet and is hopeful of disrupting the sport even further.
Jake Paul's never-before-seen training drill involving a snake
Paul has been filmed back in the gym training for his comeback inside the squared circle but his approach to training was anything but ordinary.
A clip doing the rounds on social media showed Paul with his gloves on, punching the heavy bag.

However, a different camera angle showed that hanging onto the bag was a large snake.
Someone behind the camera could be heard saying, "I've never seen anybody hit a punching bag with a snake on it".
The reptile remained wrapped around the bag and was surprisingly calm as Paul picked his punches.
Jake Paul announced dream fight list as KSI announced retirement from boxing
Paul's next fight has not yet been announced, with his MVP business partner Nakisa Bidarian revealing that a December or January return could be on the cards.
The 29-year-old still believes he has plenty of unfinished business in the sport as he shared a dream 14-fight list that he hopes to complete before he calls it quits.
On Instagram, Paul shared a picture of an old list he put together and compared it with his new vision. On the list, Paul included a slew of huge names including Canelo Alvarez, Conor McGregor, Tom Aspinall, Deontay Wilder and Francis Ngannou.
UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland also made the cut after recently calling out Paul. Posing alongside the list on a whiteboard, he told Bidarian to "line em up for me" and even targeted a world title win.
"Before I rest… Canelo Alvarez, Francis Ngannou, Conor McGregor (Boxing & MMA), Sean Strickland, Darren Till, Ryan Garcia, KSI, Chris Eubank [Jr], Edgar Berlanga, Tom Aspinall (Boxing), Deontay Wilder, Nate Diaz (MMA), Midget who ruined our fight (Gervonta Davis), World Title."
One fight on the wish-list looks to be dead in the water. Paul and KSI have been feuding for a number of years as the two YouTubers who transitioned into boxing but they have been unable to come to an agreement to fight.
On Saturday, the Misfits Boxing co-founder confirmed his retirement from boxing and shouted "F--- Jake Paul" three times.
Paul shared the video on his Instagram and mocked his long-time rival as he wrote, "And the crowd goes mild".
