"You’re fighting a delivery man" - Fans blast Jake Paul as the -3300 favorite misleads with "injury" post days before Ryan Bourland fight

Jake Paul is gearing up for an eight-round cruiserweight clash against Ryan Bourland this weekend (Saturday, March 2) at El Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

The showdown will be the co-main event, with women's featherweight champion Amanda Serrano putting her IBF, WBA, and WBO titles on the line against Nina Meinke in the main event.

As the fight draws near, 'The Problem Child' stands as a dominant favorite with -3300 odds according to Bet Online.ag, while his 35-year-old semi-retired opponent is seen as a substantial underdog with odds of +1200.

Paul recently uploaded his latest YouTube vlog detailing his preparations for the upcoming fight. Titled 'I Got Injured Before My Fight...', the video features a thumbnail showing the Ohio native writhing in pain next to an X-ray image.

Despite the provocative title and thumbnail, the vlog surprisingly contains no mention of any actual injury. Instead, Paul vaguely references the possibility of sustaining injuries during his rigorous training sessions.

'The Problem Child' then turned to X to promote his vlog, but it only sparked criticism from fans who responded with a variety of reactions.

One fan wrote:

"Nobodies doubting you. You’re fighting a delivery man."

Another wrote:

"-3300 favorite talking about 'doubt me' 😵‍💫"
