- Hasim Rahman Jr. blamed Jake Paul for their now-cancelled bout following a weight-related argument and insisted he didn't want to face a legitimate fighter.
Paul, a professional boxer who has a perfect record of 5-0, was scheduled to fight Rahman Jr., the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, on August 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Paul accused Rahman Jr. of being unprofessionally after the latter repeatedly tried to alter the contract weight.
Rahman said, "Jake and his 'team,' not me, cancelled this fight," placing the responsibility squarely on Paul. They did not initiate the fight, not MINE! I signed the deal to gain 200 lbs in three weeks even.
Though I'm a bridgerweight, also known as a heavyweight outside the WBC. Where in boxing can you see matches being called off a week in advance? There are consequences; I'll fight for the bare minimum of $5,000.

I'd defeat this man with just one hand. He said that he defeated me at 230 pounds; thus, what would be the issue with battling me at 215 or 210 pounds? It is obvious that they do not want to engage in combat.
I deduce that they were trying to weaken me out of fear. I informed them that I couldn't drop enough weight to reach cruiserweight since doing so would need me to shed 200 pounds in 30 days at a rate of one pound each day.
Although Muhsin Cason, a Muslim boxer who competes at cruiserweight, was available as a replacement in case I failed to make the weight, he didn't have to exert himself and might have salvaged the event.
He wanted to break me down and fight a shell of myself, not a genuine battle against a real boxer. I won't permit him to act in that manner.
Hasim rahman jr record
Hasim Rahman Jr. and 25-year-old Jake Paul inked a bout deal on July 5 to fight on August 6 at Madison Square Garden at a maximum weight of 200 pounds.
According to a statement issued by Paul's business Most Valuable Promotions. Rahman submitted weight verification at the time of signing, assuring Most Valuable Promotions and the New York State Athletic Commission that he would not lose more than 10% of his weight in the four weeks before to the bout.
Rahman and his staff had consistently told everyone, both publicly and privately, that he was on pace to make weight for the weigh-in on August 5 since he weighed in at 216 pounds on July 7.
They even went so far as to present a letter from a respected nutritionist stating that his weight loss was proceeding without any problems in accordance with the weekly weight checks required by the New.
York State Athletic Commission. It has become evident over the past 48 hours that these assurances were not given in good faith.
The New York State Athletic Commission received a weight check from Rahman on Friday, July 29, which revealed that he had lost less than one pound since committing to the fight 24 days earlier, according to the statement.
The commission responded by saying it would not approve the bout if one of the participants weighed less than 205 pounds.
Nevertheless, Jake Paul was ready to go with the bout at this revised weight, and a new contract reflecting a 205-pound restriction was issued to Rahman's promoter, with harsh penalties should he fail to make weight.

Rahman's camp made the first indication that he intended to weigh 215 pounds at the official weigh-in and would not agree to weigh in at 205 pounds.
They also informed Most Valuable Promotions that they are pulling out of the fight unless the fight was agreed to at 215 pounds after receiving this new contract on Saturday morning.
"MVP and Jake Paul will not honour someone who has behaved in such a cunning and dishonest way. As a result, MVP is forced to postpone the August 6 event.
This forced result affects Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano, and every other fighter on this show who has worked hard to prepare for this bout over the previous few months.
Showtime, Madison Square Garden, Holden Boxing, and all of our partners for their unwavering support as we built this event. Above all, we want to express our gratitude to the fans for their support of the sportsmen and the sport of boxing.
Amanda Serrano, the undisputed women's featherweight champion, was also slated to participate on the show. Paul was supposed to face Rahman Jr. in the main event, however Rahman Jr. was substituted after Tommy Fury withdrew earlier this month.
Originally slated to fight Paul in December, Fury—the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson—withdrew from the match while citing illness and injuries.
The bout was rescheduled for August 6, but the Briton withdrew once more. This time, travel complications reportedly prohibited 23-year-old Fury from entering the US.
