Who will Jake Paul fight next? It’s a question that has numerous boxing fans scratching their heads. Not so long ago, the ‘Problem Child’ teased a potential fight against an Indian pro boxer, Neeraj Goyat, sending shockwaves throughout the boxing world. However, new rumors have emerged after Hasim Rahman Jr. leaked a partial text on social media today from who people believe could be Jake Paul.
‘Gold Blooded’ Rahman was originally supposed to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer in August 2022 at Madison Square Garden. However, due to some weight issues, Rehman pulled out of the fight seven days before. Since then, Rahman has fought once in a crossover boxing event against Greg Hardy. Meanwhile, Paul will come back to the ring on March 3. That aside, the only question left unanswered is – what did the leaked text say?

Turning to X (formerly Twitter), the American southpaw shared the screenshot with a mysterious caption that read, “Say less..” Meanwhile, the screenshot itself was more generous with the information. However, part of the message was hidden for what can be considered contractual reasons or just a way to create anticipation. The text read, “Ayo, it’s gonna have to be scheduled as a 10-round fight…” Rahman’s prior canceled fight with Paul and the fact that Paul’s upcoming fight is just around the corner led people to believe it could be a text from Jake Paul.
So, when the boxing world discovered the alleged text, fans started wishing for it to be true.
