JAKE PAUL confirmed he will watch from ringside as his rivals Tommy Fury and KSI fight each other – with brother Logan also on the undercard.
Paul was beaten by Fury on a split-decision last February in Saudi Arabia, his first boxing loss.

But he snubbed a rematch to instead return over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
So Fury, 24, instead turned his attention to KSI, 30, and the two recently announced their all-British blockbuster on October 14 in Manchester.
And with his eyes potentially on the winner and older brother Logan returning on the same night, Paul will be in the house.
He said: “I’m super excited for him, I’m happy as a brother to see him train and to see him go back up there and I’m going to be there for sure.
“It might be a mad house, it might be a mad house but I’m all for it.”
Paul had planned to beat Fury – who was his first opponent with prior boxing experience – before prising Diaz over to the ring.
And despite the defeat, he stuck to the plan after the MMA veteran walked out on the UFC.
But Paul, 26, is instead only focussing on Diaz, 38, pumping the brakes on looking too far into to the future.
He said: “I think Nate was always the plan since he was getting out of the UFC but right now I’m just focussed on this fight.
“We’ll see what happens moving on from here. There’s still a lot of big names, a lot of big fights to be made.
“Again, I’m just going to continue to challenge myself and continue to fight big names in the sport.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types of punches available: Left Hook and Right Hook, Cross, Cross, Straight, Underhand, Overhand, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, and Overhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches need more power than others. A strong uppercut for example requires a lot of force. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. One combination can have many parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the more popular ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
In conclusion, learning to box requires dedication and patience. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
