On the last day of Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in New York, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson hosted a joint press conference where Jake Paul didn’t like some the responses he was getting from the crowd.
However, as the audience expressed their disapproval with boos, he swiftly countered with a remark aimed at both them and the city itself. “Hey New York, shut the f— up, New York. Boo yourselves,” he said. “You’re just like Mike Tyson – you were good 20 years ago. F— you, dumba– Democratic city,” he added.

If you remember, last month, Paul expressed his backing for former President Trump, claiming that God saved Trump from an assassination attempt on July 13. “I believe that God stepped in and saved him. It’s quite literally ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ And I think that’s also probably why God had this exact situation happen – because He saw the path that we were going down,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer said at the time.
“And I’m not even gonna say, like, it’s Democrat-Republican, what does it matter? It’s the people who are running the government now, the path that they were leading us to was gonna be catastrophic and terrible. And I think God really intervened, like, ‘We need this guy right now. Everyone needs to flip sides. We can’t have a close election – we need a landslide. We need this guy to come back in and make America great again.'”
On Sunday, Paul and Tyson appeared to be at odds in their banter. True to form, Paul was eager for a challenge, relentlessly taunting the former heavyweight champion. He even referred to Tyson’s medical issue that delayed their fight by nearly four months as a “menopause break.”

For the most part, Tyson maintained a calm and composed demeanor. However, he did offer a subtle prediction during the exchange. “We got a YouTuber fighting against the greatest fighter of all time,” Tyson said. Nevertheless, the ever-confident Paul stuck to his familiar routine.
“I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend – I don’t care about anything else… I’m not here to do s— besides make a bag.”
The fight, originally slated for July 20, will now take place on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
