The Problem Child also stated that he is sick of Fury pulling out every time a fight is booked and that he is wasting his time. “I’m sick of him wasting my time, he’s wasting my team’s time. I have a staff of 25 people that I feed you know and he’s wasting all of our time and it’s annoying. We’re sick of it,” Paul added.

Paul’s frustration is seemingly justified as it is the second time that Fury is pulling out of the fight and with all the drama leading up to this point, it is certainly disappointing for Paul.

Who is Fury’s Replacement, Hasim Rahman Jr?

Rahman junior is the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman who is known for beating boxing legend Lennox Lewis. The American boxer has a record of 12-1 wins over Nathan Bedwell and Steven Tyner. He made his debut in 2017 against Ralph Alexander, knocking him out in the first round. Moreover, he suffered the only loss of his career earlier this year after he was knocked out by James Morrison.
