Jake Paul’s influencer antics seemingly backfired against him when he pretended to be Travis Kelce at Fanatics Fest in New York City, as no attendees fell for his prank.

On Sunday, footage of the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer went viral on social media, as he epically failed to pull off his act at the three-daylong event, which took place from Aug. 16-18.

To make matters worse for Paul, the clip was shared by his online betting company, Betr, on X.

The former Disney star didn’t fool anyone in full Chiefs gear, as many people noticed his tattoos and blonde beard – two physical attributes that Kelce doesn’t have.

He isn’t nearly as tall as the three-time Super Bowl champion, either. Kelce stands at 6ft5 while Paul is 6ft1.
Also, unlike the genuine Kelce, who is known for his friendliness and personal touch with fans, Paul shoved a few festival goers while trying to native through the crowd.

‘Is there anybody more annoying (sic) than this mf?’ someone on X reacted to Betr’s video of Paul this weekend.

‘How did people fall for this,’ someone else asked on TikTok. ‘Who knows,’ replied another user on the video-based social media platform.

Earlier this week, Paul compared himself to boxing legend Muhammad Ali before shoving Mike Tyson – another great in the ring – at a press conference in New York.

‘We will see who’s dead, Mike,’ the YouTuber-turned-fighter told Tyson ahead of their rescheduled fight in Texas on November 15.

The clash, which will be shown on Netflix, was pushed back from July 20 after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up.

Paul also made fun of Tyson over his enforced ‘menopause break’ but the former heavyweight champion revealed that he is now back in training for the fight this fall, as he is determined to knock out his opponent, who is three decades his junior.

Tyson, whose last professional fight was in 2005, was born across the East River in Brooklyn and was given a hero’s welcome by the crowd at Fanatics Fest in contrast to Paul.
