Jake Paul hitting back at the New York City crowd during his recent press conference with Mike Tyson has divided netizens. Paul and Tyson recently sat down for a press conference at the Fantastic Fest in New York City.

Brooklyn native 'Iron Mike' naturally had the crowd on his side and fans were quick to pick on Paul with "f**k Jake Paul" chants. 'The Problem Child' did not hold back and returned fire, dropping F-bombs and calling out the city for its political affiliations:

"Hey New York, shut the f**k up New York, boo yourself. Hey New York, you're just like Mike Tyson, you were good 20 years ago. F**k you New York, f**k you. Dumba** Democratic City."

Jake Paul explodes at Mike Tyson for calling him a YouTuber

It looks like Jake Paul has his mind set on knocking out Mike Tyson. Tyson has faced some of the greatest fighters that have ever lived. So he was unflustered by Paul's attempts at intimidation during their recent New York City press conference.

At one point during the event, 'Iron Mike' referred to his opponent as a YouTuber, while referring to himself as the greatest fighter that has ever lived. This remark did not sit right with 'The Problem Child', who then proceeded to clap back at the pugilistic legend, saying:

"Every time. Every time these fighters sit across from me, it's Youtuber, it's Disney Channel, and all that s**t, and then you end up on the f*****g canvas. And you'll see, it's going to be no different here, I promise you that."
