Dana White believes Jake Paul should work with a respected boxing promoter after the collapse of his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr.
Paul was set to face Rahman Jr in his sixth professional fight at Madison Square Garden this weekend, but the fight was cancelled by the YouTube star who accused his rival of missing their contracted weight. This is the second time Paul has lost an opponent at short notice, with previous planned opponent Tommy Fury unable to travel to the US to settle their rivalry.
The YouTube star currently promotes himself under label Most Valuable Promotions which is also headed by his manager Nakisa Bidarian who was previously Chief Financial Officer at the UFC, but White is convinced that Paul needs to work with a more established promoter. "He needs to get a real f****** guy," White told reporters when pressed on whether Paul should part ways with current manager Bidarian.
