News broke this week confirming the cancellation of the bout between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. that was supposed to take place this Saturday in Madison Square Garden this Saturday. Rahman Jr. has been blamed for failing to make weight, but has attempted to bounce back from criticism by releasing a clip from a sparring session between the pair two years ago.
The clip shows Rahman Jr. marching Paul down, before attempting to land a right hook and sending Paul scurrying across the ring, seemingly looking for a retreat.
The full card that was supposed to take place this Saturday at Madison Square Garden, headlined by Paul and Rahman Jr. and would feature the return of Amanda Serrano, has been cancelled following the row regarding Rahman Jr's weight.
