Jake Paul has been all over the news for the past few days. His August 6th headliner has seen a lot of ups and downs, but now it is finally ready to happen. After Tommy Fury pulled out of the fight, Hasim Rahman Jr. is the replacement to face Paul. Let’s take a look at a fine detail that Paul explained about the fight. 

While talking on the Morning Kombat, host Luke Thomas asked Jake Paul about the rehydration clause. The 25-year-old explained, “We are fighting at 200 pounds. He has to weigh 200 pounds on Friday. On Saturday morning, he can weigh as much as 215 pounds, and then the night of the fight he can weigh as much as he wants.”

He further added, “New York State Athletic Commission wanted to put this in place because they were worried about him having such a crazy size advantage. They almost didn’t wanna sanction the fight because they were concerned about his experience over mine.”
