Jake Paul had claimed that his previously planned opponent Hasim Rahman Jr. was refusing to cut any weight from his 215lb frame. The fight was initially set at the cruiserweight limit of 200lb before Jake Paul agreed to move it to 205lb. However, he claimed he bulked at the suggestion of fighting at 215lb given he normally weighs in at 190lb. Rahman Jr, on the other hand, questioned why he was not allowed a final week to lose as much weight as possible.
Jake Paul, is an undefeated 5-0 professional record and he was due to fight Tommy Fury last December before the Brit pulled out with a fractured rib and was replaced by Woodley. Paul ended the rematch early with a sixth-round knockout. He then agreed to fight Fury again next weekend but the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson was banned from flying to New York for a pre-fight press conference. Paul had then announced Rahman Jr. as his opponent at short notice.
Paul had offered to replace YouTuber, Alex Wassabi at a London boxing event on August 27. Jake Paul has been trying to reignite his rivalry with KSI. The duo has exchanged insults on social media and various videos over the last month.
