Hasim Rahman Jr has admitted his dad's public criticism about his work-rate ahead of his fight with Jake Paul was accurate.
The YouTube star was stunned when Rahman Jr's dad, the former world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, openly admitted at their pre-fight press conference that he felt his son hadn't been preparing properly throughout his career. But having now ended up with the opportunity of a lifetime despite losing his last fight, he insists that will change.
"Flat out, I'm going to give you an honest answer," Rahman Sr told reporters at a press conference in New York last week when asked about his son's past performances. "I don't know if my son will like it but I'll just tell the truth because that's what I do. My son has really underperformed and underprepared for pretty much all of his fights, but he will be ready for this one."
