Watch Jake Paul arrive on a HORSE for open practice as the YouTube star prepares to start the ‘war’ against UFC icon Anderson Silva

JAKE PAUL rocked on a HORSE for his candid workout as he prepares to start the ‘war’ against Anderson Silva.

The boxer-turned-youtuber returns in Arizona over the weekend, his first fight in ten months.

And he announced his big arrival in style as he rode a horse into the open training session just days before his fight in the ring.

Paul, 25, said: “I’m going to war. I feel like a warrior, a gladiator, that’s really what Saturday is.

“And I’m going to war, that’s one of the toughest fighters in the world, a martial arts legend.

“It’s not going to be an easy fight, so I’ll have to come in on horseback like I’m getting ready to fight.”

Paul last fought in December, knocking out 40-year-old Tyron Woodley, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.

This contributed to KOs against online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.

Woodley only appeared on less than two weeks’ notice after 23-year-old Tommy Fury called off his grudge game against Paul with a rib injury.

The celebrity megafight was pushed back to August in New York – but that was soon KOd as Fury faced US visa issues.

31-year-old heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr. signed as a substitute only for the Flash to strike twice, this time due to a weight match.

And Paul has vowed to vent his anger in the ring against Silva, promising another viral KO.

He said: “Everything happens for a reason, so I’m just looking forward to putting on a show. I’m trying to get KO of the year part two.”
