Almost 2 Years Later, Jake Paul Makes Startling Admission Regarding Hasim Rahman Jr. Sparring Session: “It Doesn’t Matter To Admit That Because…”

The social media personality Jake Paul is gearing up to meet the new opponent, Hasim Rahman Jr; on August 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York after his heated rival, Tommy Fury, could not make it to the USA due to travel issues.

Though the son of a former heavyweight champion became part of a highly anticipated showdown on short notice, the animosity between them due to their sparring session in the past has created a buzz in the boxing world. Earlier, this week ‘The Problem Child’ added more drama to this build-up.

He dropped a small clip from the gym, showing him and Rahman Jr. throwing some cutting remarks at each other. Since the release of this video, the curiosity of knowing the result of this session became a big deal.

What did Jake Paul say about the sparring session?

In an exclusive interview with The MMA Hour recently, the 25-year-old gave details of this sparring session. He also highlighted how Rahman Jr. had insulted him for taking up this sport.

Paul said, “That was before the Nate Robinson fight, so like roughly, two years ago and yeah, I mean it’s pretty self-explanatory. The kid was saying you’ll never be a professional fighter. You know I’m gonna beat your a**. You’re a b***h like saying all of this stuff to me during our sparring session. You’re just a YouTuber, you suck blah blah so yeah… I’m waiting for this moment to come back in and get revenge on him.”

According to the Ohio-based boxer, he had only one sparring session with Rahman Jr. Though he did not mention who was the winner, he said, “It was close man like, it was a war, that was right when I started fighting. That was before the Nate Robinson fight even, and he was way more experienced than I was at the time, so if anything, yeah, he got the better of me.”

But as of now, Paul guaranteed that he would beat Rahman Jr. as he believes that he had worked harder than the latter in the last two years.

It would be interesting to witness Paul’s upcoming bout as he never met a fighter of Rahman’s skill before. What do you make of Jake Paul’s remarks? Let us know in the comments below.
