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.

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.

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.
