Jake Paul has reverted to his old habits, and fans were not supportive.

In a Feb. 29 face-off with Ryan Bourland, Paul attempted to re-create his old 'Gotcha hat' gimmick by stealing the cap of his upcoming opponent. Bourland did not react as Paul threw the boxer's covering into the crowd.

Paul posted a video of the face-off to social media, captioning his interaction:

"Gotcha hat Pt. 2 🧢🤣"

'The Problem Child' attempted to reference his viral interaction with Floyd Mayweather Jr. when the social media star snatched the cap off the former boxer after a heated exchange.

Fans were less than enthused with the latest edition of 'Gotcha hat,' expressing their feelings about Paul's immaturity in the comments.

Referencing an old rumor of Paul allegedly considering Neeraj Goyat as a potential opponent, one comment read:

Other comments included:

"Yo he got so sad lmao"
"So childish"
"Fake Paul << his father (Neeraj Goyat)"
"His opponent just clocked off from his Uber Eats job"
"Incredibly unfunny"
