Jake Paul did not get a warm welcome by New York fans while promoting his November 15th fight against Mike Tyson.
On Sunday, Paul faced off against Mike Tyson at Fanatic Fest NYC for the first time since Tyson postponed the fight due to a health scare.
During the press conference, Paul spoke about receiving hate from fans after he took up boxing.
“The most hated, the most criticized boxer in the history of the sport, who they love the most is Muhammad Ali, so I’m the anti-hero, and people will love me soon enough once they realize what I’ve done for the sport.”
Paul eventually snapped when the NYC crowd kept booing him.
In response to getting booed, Paul trashed the city of New York.
‘New York shut the f— up and boo yourself, New York you’re just like Mike Tyson, you were good 20 years ago…Dumb a– democratic city”
