Jake Paul makes unusual entrance before showdown with MMA legend (VIDEO)

The boxing novice will take on UFC icon Anderson Silva at the weekend

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul went cowboy on Wednesday night when arriving at a media workout on a horse before his latest fight.

The 5-0 novice will take on 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva in a boxing bout at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, on Saturday and paid tribute to the region’s ‘Old West’ history by coming to his open training session on horseback.

Lil Nas X’s 2019 smash hit ‘Old Town Road’ played in the background as a confident Paul chewed gum and then dismounted before completing his duties.

Explaining the story behind the stunt to Showtime, Paul said: “Me and my friend were just talking, ‘Like yo, what should we do for the open workout?’

“I was like, ‘I should just ride in on a horse. And we made it happen.”

“I’m going to war. I feel like a warrior, a gladiator, that’s really what this is on Saturday,” Paul added. 

In a clip shared by Showtime's Twitter account, the horse, named Donald, gave popular combat sport analyst Luke Thomas a scare by getting in his face when he was sitting with Paul for an interview.
