Hasim Rahman Jr has told Jake Paul he should "give fans what they want" and reschedule their fight, despite coming in 1.6lb heavy in a ceremonial weigh-in.
Rahman Jr had originally signed to fight Paul at 200lb, the cruiserweight limit, before the New York commission insisted it was moved up to 205lb. But the bout was cancelled regardless after the fighter's team reportedly told the commission he would not come in lighter than 215lb.
And on Friday he held a weigh-in t at Gleason's Gym in New York to prove he could have made the weight limit despite commission officials believing otherwise. Rahman Jr tipped the scales at 206.6lb, which would have meant he had to sacrifice a hefty portion of his purse before again tipping the scales at 215lb on Saturday.
