YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul is currently preparing for one of the biggest fights of his career yet. Meanwhile, Paul had once made the news for snatching Floyd Mayweather Jr’s hat at the presser of Mayweather’s fight with Logan Paul. However, it seems like Paul recently got a taste of his own medicine at his own presser.

Paul is scheduled to face MMA GOAT Anderson Silva on October 29, 2022. Moreover, the bout taking place at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix, Arizona is Paul’s sixth professional fight.

And he was at the official press conference ahead of his fight against Anderson Silva. During the event, 13-year-old amateur boxer and Paul’s fan, King David Garcia, was invited to the stage. It was reported that the teenager had written to Most Valuable Promotions for an opportunity to meet ‘The Problem Child’.

The host for the event and UFC star Chael Sonnen introduced Garcia, saying, “This fan he started boxing at the age of four, he is now 13. He has had 75 amateur boxing matches and has aspirations of representing this country in the Olympic games.”
