JAKE PAUL is preparing for his Saudi Arabia fight against Tommy Fury 700 miles away in Dubai – in a gym with links to Molly-Mae.
Both celebrity boxing rivals are training hard after announcing the latest rescheduling of their grudge match, on February 26.

Paul had swapped sunny Puerto Rico – where he has been based for the last two years – for the Middle East.
But he travelled from his Dubai camp to London over the weekend to officially face off with Fury for the first time.
Following a hectic day of pay-per-view promotion, Paul returned back to Dubai to carry on with his preparation.
And he gave fans a glimpse inside his brutal regime by uploading a series of training pictures.
He can be seen sparring, shadow boxing and working the battles ropes, used to improve conditioning.
What is most surprising is that the YouTuber-turned boxer is training out of Umar Kamani’s gym.
Kamani is the CEO of PrettyLittleThing, the company in which Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae works as a creative director.
The fashion mogul has welcomed the likes of Floyd Mayweather, 45, and Anthony Joshua, 33, through his gym doors before.

And Paul, 26, was there as recently as November, when he commentated on Fury’s exhibition with Rolly Lambert, 33.
It set the two up to finally meet in the ring, following two cancellations in the past.
Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid a US visa issue.
But he hopes it will be third time lucky after the duo agreed to a blockbuster in the Saudi desert.
Fury himself is enduring a gruelling grind and said he even moved out of the £3.5million mansion he shares with Molly-Mae.
He told Sky Sports: “I’m a professional athlete, I’m a professional boxer.

“My job is not to make little sly jokes and comments on Instagram and social media.
“I’m in a training camp. I’m in bed nine o’clock every single night, I’m up 4.30/5am running. Solely focussed on this man.
“One man is flying around the globe, coming here to do media stuff, going here, there and everywhere and you’ve got one man that’s living in a hellhole.
“I’ve moved out of my own house, I’m living in a little apartment, I’ve gone back to the dog mindset.
“And that’s what’s going to get me through this fight, he’s not working as hard as I am, I’m putting the work in.
“I’m not just putting the work in when the camera’s in front of me. All the cameras are off when I’m working.
“I don’t need people to stand around me and say, ‘You’re doing well, keep going.’
“It’s already tunnel vision and nothing else is going to distract me. Nothing in this world could take away my focus right now.”
