JAKE PAUL is on the VODKA just days before his long-awaited fight with Tommy Fury.
But the American got a tattoo of a bottle of the spirit on his arm – and is steering clear of the drink until after the bout.
Jake Paul got a bottle of vodka tattooed on his right arm
The YouTuber-turn-boxer took on the challenge with DJ pal Charlie Sloth
Paul, 26, took on a $250,000 (£207,000) bet with pal and DJ Charlie Sloth.
But in order to get his hands on the cash, he had to get a tattoo of a blue raspberry Au vodka bottle on his upper arm.
And the Problem Child had no qualms about taking on the challenge as he added to his long list of body art.
In a video posted on Instagram to his 22million followers, Paul hugs Sloth and receives the golden briefcase of cash then takes a very quick swig of the colourful drink.
The YouTuber then takes his seat on a golden throne in Saudi Arabia ahead of the Fury showdown, ready to get the tattoo done.
He says: “I’ll drink that s*** after I knock out Tommy, easy money bro.
“I would have done this for free because I love you so much.
“Let’s go!”
The video then shows the artist delivering the inking on the top of the right arm before Sloth comes back into shot to assess the work – before catching his friend painfully on the sensitive spot.
Paul says: “I did it bro, let’s go baby.
“Owh that hurts, love bro, I appreciate it.”
Sloth adds: “What a tattoo, what a man.”
Paul’s fight with Fury fell through twice but the pair finally look set to step into the ring in Diriyah on February 26.
Ring walks are expected around 10pm with the fight shown on BT Sport Box Office.

They will slug it out for ten rounds at cruiserweight and both men are confident they will dispatch their rivals – although Fury’s dad John wanted his son to walk away.
Fury flew out to Saudi this week, leaving his girlfriend Molly-Mae back home to look after newborn baby Bambi.
TNT said: “Jake Paul’s boxing career ends on February 26 and I can finally move on with mine.
“Every time I go out right now, everybody asks me about the Jake Paul fight. After this fight is done, everybody will be asking me how it felt to knock Jake Paul out.
“The world is about to see what happens when a proper boxer faces a YouTuber.
“I am a professional boxer, I have had eight undefeated bouts, soon to be nine. Jake Paul will regret ever thinking he could take me on. I will put him in his place, the canvas!”
Paul said: “The moment of truth has finally arrived.
“On February 26, I will get in the ring with a ‘real boxer,’ an 8-0 fighter from a storied fighting family and show the world the truth about who Jake Paul, the boxer really is.”
Paul promised to drink more of the vodka after knocking out Tommy Fury

Amateur boxing competitions typically last for three rounds, each lasting five minutes. There are many different styles of amateur boxing including Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Wrestling and others.

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 has its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. One combination can have many parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s 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
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. There are many stances available to boxers. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. Boxers learn to train their mind and bodies during sparring sessions. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
