Paul has made Puerto Rico home in recent years, crediting the island for his boxing success and saying he’s been able to train more diligently and lock in more easily.
But he didn’t exactly have much of a home ring advantage at Distrito T-Mobile in San Juan.
Plenty of Rhino supporters were in the crowd, some chanting "F--- Jake Paul" when he entered the stage.
So Paul, a master of the troll, egged them on in response. When asked by reporter Ariel Helwani about his emotions, he chanted his response.
"F--- the Rhino," he sang several times.
Bourland supporters responded with a "F—- Jake Paul" chant.
But Paul had the final word.
"I'm sick of these dumba-- rhinos walking around this motherf---ing island. Tomorrow, the rhinos are going extinct. I promise you that."
JAKE PAUL IS ‘BASICALLY A NEVER-ENDING MACHINE’ FOR THIS REASON
At Thursday’s press conference, Paul even joked about the nickname, saying Bourland didn’t "embody the true rhino spirit" after Bourland said he is not vegan.
At that point, Helwani asked Bourland if he felt Paul respects him.
"It don't matter," Bourland replied.
Paul is coming off a fight that didn't last a single round. On Dec. 15, he knocked out Andre August and waved goodbye to him on the mat. That fight improved his professional record to 8-1.
Saturday will mark Bourland's first fight since Sept. 17, 2022.
