Jake Paul<\/a>‘s admittedly nervous for his upcoming tilt with Gervonta Davis<\/a>, but he tells TMZ Sports he’s got a bit of a secret weapon in his corner to help him make sure he’s ready — Shakur Stevenson<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The YouTuber-turned-superstar-fighter revealed to us on Wednesday that Stevenson — who’s had his share of beef with Davis over the years — is slated to meet with him in just a few days to give him an assist in the ring.<\/p>\n

Paul said the two will spar — and he’s hoping it’ll get him as prepared as possible for Tank.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paul also let us know he’s got a few other famed pugilists — Raymond Ford and Montana Love — working to prime his fists for the massive Nov. 14 bout as well.<\/p>\n

Jake, though, did confess he’s still losing some sleep over the upcoming matchup … admitting, “Internally, I’m the most scared going into a fight that I’ve actually ever been.”<\/p>\n

“Being vulnerable for a second,” Paul said, “this is crazy. This is scary. It’s kind of keeping me up at night.”<\/p>\n

Paul did say he’s got a game plan — one that involves him trying to shed muscle so he can be fast enough for the smaller Davis. He also said he’s working on a way to “walk Tank into a knockout like I’ve done with other opponents.”<\/p>\n

The scrap will all go down at Kesaya Center — and Paul was adamant, “I’m going to prove a lot of people wrong.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul Shakur Stevenson Is Helping Me Prep For Tank Davis!!!
