Hasim Rahman claims son has "under-prepared" for all fights ahead of Jake Paul bout

Former world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman admitted that his son has poorly prepared for previous fights just days out from his grudge fight with Jake Paul.

Rahman Jr has accepted a late-notice bout with YouTuber Paul after Tommy Fury pulled out of a massive headlining bout at Madison Square Garden on August 6. But his own father has said that he will need to prepare much better than for his previous outings if he is to get back to winning ways in New York City.

The boxer is Paul's toughest test to date, bringing a massive size advantage and a 12-1 record to the bout with his 5-0 rival. But his father believes that he could be even farther in the game if he had prepared properly for his previous bouts, despite being undefeated until a controversial stoppage against McKenzie Morrison last month.
