Jake Paul brings back ‘Gotcha Hat’

A couple of days ago, Jake Paul and Ryan Bourland came face to face with each other for the first time since finalizing a fight deal. And, of course, the opponents got into a verbal battle! Paul poked fun at Bourland for his nickname, claiming, “Are you vegan, like rhinos? So you don’t embody the true rhino spirit,” Paul said. 

He further added, “When you said you were going to take me into deep waters, do you realize that rhinos are land animals?” However, the highlight came when the presser was wrapping up. Paul pulled his old ‘Gotha Hat’ mover on Bourland as Paul snatched his hat. Previously, Paul had done the same thing to Floyd Mayweather, which led to a brawl later. 

Jake Paul dazzled in the ring against Ryan Bourland for his tenth professional fight by knocking him out in the first round. Safe to say, the last-minute crucial advice from Trinidad came in handy for ‘The Problem Child.’ What did you think of the wholesome moment? Do you think Bourland stands a chance?
