Hasim Rahman Jr. Reveals the Real Reason He Believes His Fight With ‘Fraud and Phony’ Jake Paul Got Cancelled: “That Probably Has Something to Do With It”

The news of Jake Paul fighting Hasim Rahman Jr. getting canceled is making waves on the Internet. The fight was actually supposed to happen between Paul and Tommy Fury. However, the latter pulled out and Rahman Jr. came as a replacement. But even this match-up got shelved. 

Rahman Jr. recently did an interview with FightHype.com, where he was asked by the interviewer, “To my knowledge, I’ve never really seen a real fighter pull out of a fight a week before in advance.”

Another important question to Rahman Jr. was, “Do you believe that he ever intended to truly make it to August 6 and fight you?”  

The fighter replied, “I think that, you know, once he’s seen how I was looking, and you know him coming into my Instagram, you can see how red he was in the face. So he had already been there watching. You know people, I know the people around him, they never seen me like that before. So you know that probably has something to do with it. I think, you know, he’s like I said from the very beginning he is a fraud and phony.”
