And as the fight draws closer, the YouTuber-turned boxer starts to dial in even more – but it comes at the cost of seeing his partner.
Paul, 25, said on his podcast: “Julia is not here, she got kicked out of training camp because we’re not allowed to have girls around.
“Just to like build up that dog mentality and to lock in and really train like a caged animal.
“Because, when you’re around a girl there’s a neurochemical called oxytocin that’s released and it makes you relaxed, it makes you more comfortable.
“And for fights you need to be on edge. So Julia is not here today, I love you Julia, if you’re watching. We’re going to miss you.”
Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
That added to KOs over online rival “AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.
Woodley only filled on under two weeks’ notice after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out of his grudge match against Paul with a rib injury.

The celeb mega-fight was rescheduled for August in New York – but that was soon KOd when Fury suffered US visa issues.
Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed as a substitute, only for lightening to strike twice, this time due to a weight disagreement.
So Paul has had an agonising ten month wait to get back in the ring but claimed it has been a blessing it disguise.
He told Showtime: “I believe there is a higher power guiding my boxing career.
“I feel like I’ve had a really rough run; last-minute opponent changes, all types of stuff, people not wanting to make weight.
“These moments with fighters pulling out, maybe it’s all happening for a reason.
“If anything, I’ve just had so many more months training in secrecy, getting better and better and better.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous 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 that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. One combination can have many parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does so by using his arms, elbows and hands as well as his knees, knees and legs.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A good combination starts with a strong punch and ends with a weak one.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
