Jake Paul was not amused by one reporter during the first press conference hyping his fight with Nate Diaz.

Paul and Diaz are set to collide in an eight-round boxing match on August 5. The action will emanate from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The first press conference hyping up the fight took place this past Tuesday in "The Lone Star State."

During the presser, Paul got chippy with one reporter, who asked Diaz a question about sparring with Andre Ward and knowing that his opponent won't ever be a Hall of Famer.

"I don't know who you are to say that I'm not a future Hall of Fame boxer," Paul said.

When the reporter questioned Paul's resume, "The Problem Child" ran though his accomplishments in boxing.

"See, I've done more for the sport than any boxer in current history," Paul fired back. "What has Floyd Mayweather done for women's boxing? The list goes on. I've changed the whole entire game, brought a new 70 million followers to the sport and put on bigger pay-per-views than some of these Hall of Fame guys. Ryan Garcia-Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, 800,000 pay-per-views. Me vs. Tommy, 830,000. So, you wanna talk about Hall of Famers? You wanna talk about resume? Yeah, I'm building it up, buddy. I just got started in this game. This is my eighth fight and I'm fighting Nate Diaz, one of the biggest MMA fighters in history. So, yeah, that's my resume."
