Hasim Rahman Jr has already delivered verdict on Jake Paul after sharing ring

Hasim Rahman Jr - who has held talks over fighting Jake Paul on August 6 - praised the YouTube star for his skills after sparring him in 2020.

Paul remains scheduled to fight Tommy Fury at Madison Square Garden next month, but the fight is in jeopardy after Fury was refused entry to the United States. Paul has given Fury until tomorrow morning to prove he can make it to America, otherwise he will move on from the fight.

The son of a two-time world heavyweight champion, Mirror Fighting understands Rahman is Paul's first choice to replace Love Island runner-up Fury. Rahman and Paul are no strangers to each other, with the pair sparring before Paul's professional debut two years ago.
