Hasim Rahman Jr. Exposes “Scared” Jake Paul In A Twitter Rant Following Fight Cancellation

Youtube sensation Jake Paul is once again without an opponent as his upcoming bout against Hasim Rahman Jr has been called off. The fight was canceled due to the heavyweight boxer not being able to cut down to the 200-pound cruiserweight limit. Paul took to Twitter and announced this news while calling out Raham Jr for his lack of professionalism.

However, the 12-1 boxer was not shy to respond to The Problem Child as he also took to Twitter to call Paul out in a two-part video. Rahman Jr. explained that although he did sign the contract for the 200-pound limit his body was not able to cut this much weight. He stated that the only conclusion he could come to was that Paul was “scared” to face him.

“It’s not me pulling out of the fight, it’s them not wanting to fight. I never said that I didn’t want to fight and the only thing I can conclude is that they’re scared. I mean they tried to drain me down, I told them, look, I ain’t gonna be able to cut all the way down to cruiserweight, I mean it was an astronomical feat from the beginning.” He said.

He also claimed that Paul should not have a problem of facing him above the limit if he already beat him at 230-pounds 2 years ago and that he would be willing to fight for the minimum purse. Moreover, he stated that Paul’s team did not even let him cut weight till the weigh-ins and canceled the event even though they had a replacement.

Hasim Rahman Jr goes on a rant

This was not all as the heavyweight boxer also addressed some fans’ concerns and also posted several tweets regarding the fight. He responded to one fan who stated that Rahman should not have signed the contract by claiming that it was all a farce from the beginning

He also stated that he had to lose almost 19 to 21 pounds within a month when one fan asked him about the weight cut.

Moreover, he also called out Paul for not picking Mckenzie Morrison who knocked Rahman out in his last fight, and referred to him as a ‘p***y’.

Notably, he replied to one fan who asked him if they could book the fight at 200 to 214 pounds by calling that Paul would only fight him if he is within 204 pounds.

Lastly, he tweeted that time will expose Paul and reveal his true nature.

It seems both fighters have their sides of the story; while Paul thinks Rahman should have honored the terms of their contract, the heavyweight boxer claims that the contracts could have been negotiated instead of canceling the fight altogether.
