Jake Paul did not hold back during a Sunday press conference promoting his upcoming boxing match against Mike Tyson, launching into a scathing attack on the New York crowd. 

The 27-year-old social media influencer-turned-boxer faced boos and chants of “F*ck Jake Paul” and “YouTuber” every time he spoke. 

Rather than retreating, Paul fired back with, "Hey New York, shut the f*ck up, New York. Boo yourselves. You’re just like Mike Tyson – you were good 20 years ago. F*ck you, dumba** Democratic city."

Paul, who has previously voiced support for former US President Donald Trump, reiterated his backing during the event, highlighting concerns like inflation and wages. 

He extended an invitation to Trump to attend the fight at AT&T Stadium in Texas, recalling Trump’s history as a promoter for Tyson. 

The match, rescheduled for 15 November, was originally set for July but was postponed due to Tyson’s health issues. Now 58, Tyson has confirmed he is ready for the fight, which will take place under professional conditions in the 80,000-capacity stadium.
