"I can’t do this s***, I feel so f****** bad for introducing Jake Paul to boxing. I f***** up. I can’t allow this to happen. I can’t. I can’t. He’s disrespecting my sport. He’s disrespecting everything. I just, I don’t know — call my team, Jake. F*** you.”
Paul, responding to the outburst during his post-fight conference, made light of the situation and said:
"I have said he's doing off some cocaine. that boy is getting that s*** straight from Colombia. You've gotta chill out. You just seem like you're losing your mind and acting thirsty and desperate and saying you're a billionaire when you had one money fight. I'm just saying, just chill bro."

Jake Paul calls out Canelo Alvarez again
Jake Paul, fresh off victories over Andre August and Nate Diaz, faced Bourland, a seasoned boxer with 17 wins. However, Bourland's winning streak ended swiftly as Paul landed a powerful right hook to the body, followed by a decisive uppercut, prompting the referee to stop the fight with 40 seconds remaining in the first round.
Following the victory, Paul set his sights on a bigger challenge, calling out the undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez:
''I'm ready, I'm ready for the bigger things. This is my life now, and like I said, I'm on the road to world champion. And Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I know you want it, and I'm repping Puerto Rico. You're repping Mexico, so it's Puerto Rico vs. Mexico.''
