After Tommy Fury’s withdrawal from the fight due to a travel issue in the last week of July, ‘The Problem Child’ fixed a deal to face off an established boxer, Hasim Rahman Jr. The hype for this contest was intense. But unfortunately, Rahman Jr. could not match the set weight, which eventually resulted in the showdown’s cancellation.

Now, the Ohio-based boxer is eager to test his skills against the 35-year-old former 4-time kickboxing world champion. However, this high-profile contest is still a rumor because no official statement from either side has confirmed this.

Notably, this contest entirely depends on the 25-year-old because Tate had already expressed his intention of locking horns with Paul. He is calling out the social media star for two years but could not get a positive response.

Fans don’t seem to mind if the rumors are true. For them, it is enough that two outspoken figures could go at each other.
