Jake Paul is once again taking himself into the ring. He was most likely to collide with Tommy Fury. However, because of an unfortunate turn of events, Hasim Rahman Jr replaced Fury and emerged as a new opponent. The 12-1 pro boxer is now set to test Paul’s skills on August 6 under the lights of Madison Square Garden.

Interestingly, ahead of this highly anticipated contest, the controversial boxer has made a stunning statement. He is 5-0 and had never faced a well-established boxer before but by any chance, if he would get an opportunity to take a shot on the WBA light heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol or unified light heavyweight titlist Artur Beterbiev, he would choose the second.

Michael Benson of talk sports reported it on Twitter.

He wrote, “Jake Paul asked if he would rather fight Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev: “I would rather fight Beterbiev.”

Bivol and Beterbiev are the most devastating and highly skilled technicians of this generation. In reality, the undefeated duo stands tall above Paul and there is no match between them. But Paul is a loudmouth, and he is known for calling out champions before.

Fans hammered Jake Paul with words

Another fan feels sorry for Paul because he thinks that the Ohio-based boxer is dumb.
