Ahead of his upcoming boxing bout with YouTube star Jake Paul on April 17, the former ONE Championship and Bellator welterweight champion kicked it into high gear to promote the matchup. On the weekend, he released a cinematic training montage paying homage to Rocky IV with himself as the legendary Rocky Balboa.
