Jake Paul has been advised to hire a new team of advisors by UFC president Dana White following the cancellation of his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr.
Paul announced last night he was pulling the plug on his sixth professional fight when he claimed Rahman Jr had refused to cut any weight from his 215lb frame. The bout had initially been contracted at the cruiserweight limit of 200lb before Paul agreed to shift it up to 205lb.
Paul claimed Rahman Jr was scared of fighting him, just as he insisted Tommy Fury was when the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson pulled out when he was unable to fly to New York for a press conference. Rahman Jr hit back, questioning why he wasn't given the final week of his camp to shed as much weight as possible.
