Hasim Rahman Jr details when relationship turned sour with "amateur a*****" Jake Paul

Hasim Rahman Jr said he lost respect for Jake Paul when the YouTube star acted like an "amateur a****e" during their sparring session two years ago.

Paul looks for his sixth professional win on August 6 when he challenges short-notice replacement Rahman after Love Island star Tommy Fury withdrew pulled out of a fight with Paul for the second time. Rahman, the son of a former heavyweight world champion, is 13-1 as a professional and was knocked out by James Morrison in his last fight.

Rahman first sparred Paul in February 2020 just one month after the YouTube star won his professional debut against AnEsonGib. Their introduction went smoothly, despite Rahman admitting that Paul was a bit "Hollywood", but the second time they sparred Rahman was offended by the way he acted.
