Controversial Youtuber Jake Paul brought some showmanship during the weigh-in of his exhibition boxing match against former NBA player Nate Robinson.
Paul came up with his best Son Goku impression, bringing out a blonde wig inspired by the popular Japanese anime character from Dragon Ball.
Check out this clip where the 23-year-old internet star went full-on Super Saiyan on Robinson.

Nate Robinson, meanwhile, didn't seem too impressed with Jake Paul's brash antics. The three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner barely gave Paul the time of the day during their customary staredown and just opted to walk away.
Paul even seemingly mocked Robinson's height as he left the stage.
Meanwhile, the unlikely boxing match between Paul and Robinson serves as the co-main event of the comeback bout between boxing legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. on Saturday at Staples Center in Los Angeles. This will be Paul's second professional fight after defeating fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib (known as Gib) last January. Paul also boxed and got a TKO victory over rapper Deji in a non-professional match in 2018.
Much like his older brother Logan, Jake Paul also rose to internet prominence as one of the early stars of Vine. He currently has a combined 20.3 million subscribers on his social media accounts, while his YouTube videos have a total of 6.8 billion views.
Robinson, on the other hand, will be making his boxing debut. The 36-year-old baller last played in the NBA for the New Orleans Pelicans in 2015. He has since taken his talents overseas and also played in Ice Cube's Big 3.
