Jake Paul was hilariously trolled by fans and Eddie Hearn in part of the build-up to tonight’s big fight.
Paul and Hearn have joined forces for the promotion of Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano, which will make history tonight.
It’s the first time that a women’s bout is headlining a fight card of this size, and perhaps more considerably, it’s the two top pound-for-pound fighters going toe-to-toe in the ring.
While you cannot deny the work that Paul is doing in boxing is making the sport bigger and better, it’s safe to say that some have still not welcomed him into the fighting community.

As he and Hearn fielded questions from fans in New York, Paul had a fan poke fun at his hair, asked if he had suffered from imposter syndrome before Hearn laughed at the standard of his opponents.
This is just hilarious!

Fair play to Paul for seeing the funny side of it and not being drawn into an argument. He would do well to avoid public appearances of this nature in future, though…
