Chris Eubank Jr offers to fight Jake Paul after YouTube star cancelled bout

Chris Eubank Jr has offered to face Jake Paul at six days' notice after the YouTube star cancelled his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr.

Paul postponed his sixth professional bout last night when he claimed Rahman Jr was refusing to attempt to cut down to the renegotiated 205lb weight limit. The fight was initially contracted at 200lb before the son of a legend insisted he would be unable to meet his obligation.

Paul, who has previously fought at 190lb, insisted he had no choice to call off the fight, along with the undercard which featured world champion Amanda Serrano. The social media influencer had already been forced to draft in Rahman to replace Tommy Fury after the Brit was unable to fly to the United States.
