at the pre-fight press conference ahead of the match, Rahman Jr. accused Paul of stacking the deck in his favor and stated that there was a rehydration clause in the contract.

You stacked the deck, don’t forget you stacked the deck, you trying to bring me back to cruiserweight. The man has a rehydration clause in the contract don’t forget none of that.” He said. Paul responded by stating that Raham was just making excuses.

Moreover, Raham also added that he would fight at cruiserweight and not heavyweight. “When you talk about me. Oh, he’s bigger than me. Oh, he’s a heavyweight all this and all that. That’s cut cause I’m coming to cruiserweight,” He told Paul, who responded by stating that he would weigh in at 195 pounds compared to Rahaman Jr.’s 215 pounds.

Shut up dumb s**t whoever the f**k you are, sit the f**k down,” said Paul.
