The cancelation of the scheduled fight between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. has left many fans disappointed. The bout was canceled just a week before it was supposed to take place with both sides, blaming each other for this blunder.
First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me.
I apologize to all of the of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https://t.co/0q6MxqG3XJ

Both sides were not shy to call each other out to take the blame for the cancellation. Paul stated Rahman was not going to abide by his contract to make the weight cut, while Rahman claimed Paul never wanted the fight to happen in the first place. This was not all, as Paul’s mother also got involved in taking shots at the heavyweight boxer.
Moreover, it looks like the situation is still escalating as Rahman Jr. posted a video of a sparring session with Paul.
Hasim Rahman Jr has now posted a new clip from his sparring session with Jake Paul…

The Problem Child is seemingly running away from Rahman Jr. in the clip, which is the underlying message of the video. Rahman posted this clip to insinuate that Paul was running away from this fight, as he did in the sparring session. However, this did not get the response Rahman Jr. was hoping for, as many felt that this was done in bad taste.
Hasim Rahman Sr. calls out Logan and Jake Paul for a fight
Heavyweight legend and Rahman Jr.’s father Hasim Rahman Sr. recently called out the Paul brothers and offered to fight them both on the same night. In an interview with TMZ, the former heavyweight champion claimed that he could face both Logan and Jake and knock them out in the same night.

“How about this right? I don’t know what commission would sanction this, but if somebody was seeing this, I would fight Jake and Logan back to back. We could go 8 rounds a piece. Neither one of them will make 8 rounds but we could text him for 8 rounds a piece and I promise you if I don’t knock Jake and Logan out, they win,” He told the reporter.
It seems that the fans might just get Rahman Jr’s father facing the Paul brothers after the disappointment that was Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman Jr.
