JAKE PAUL was in peck-tacular form ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson – working out with a ROOSTER hat on.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer – who gave himself the nickname El Gallo which translates to The Rooster – faces Tyson on Friday in Texas.

And the two kicked off their fight week schedule with an open workout at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving.
Paul rocked up wearing a red rooster cap and performed to the crowd, also revealing his bulked up frame.
And he wrapped up his slot by showing off some combinations and even turning southpaw in a hopeful bid to throw off 58-fight legend Tyson.
Paul – only 10-1 himself after four year as a professional prizefighter – claimed his career will just begin with a victory over Tyson.
He said: “It’s not about how long you’ve been doing something, it’s about how good you do it.
“And on Friday night people are going to see me outbox the person who’s been doing it their whole life because of my team, everyone who put in the work with me.
“Coach Third, coach J’Leon, coach Larry, we’re an unstoppable force. Friday, my dreams come true and career starts.
“This is the start of an amazing journey, what I’ve done so far doesn’t matter. Friday night my career starts.”

Tyson, 58, returns for his first professional fight in 20 YEARS for a bout that has attracted huge controversy amid the age gap.
The last time Iron Mike was in the ring was four years ago for an exhibition with Roy Jones Jr which proved to be nothing but a glorified spar.
But against Paul, 27, records are to go on the line over eight two-minute rounds – opposed to the usual three.
And even with bigger 14oz gloves – instead of regular 10oz – the social media sensation warned to expect a quick fight.
He said: “I feel really good, sharp, powerful, explosive. It’s going to be a short night for Mike.”
