Hasim Rahman Jr 's dad doesn't think Jake Paul has "knocked out a fighter yet" despite the YouTube star having finished every professional opponent he's faced.
Paul heads into his sixth professional fight against Rahman on August 6 having knocked out fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, NBA star Nate Robinson and former MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley in his last fights. Rahman's father, a former heavyweight champion, has played down Paul's knockout power and insists his son can negate his right hand in their fight.
“We’re not really concerned with Jake Paul’s power. We don’t need to show how good our chin is," he said. "We don’t need to show what his right hand can do. What we can do is take his right hand away from him. We aren’t going to get hit with the right hand, but if we do we are going to fire back with our own counter. It’s going to be an interesting fight. Jake Paul can fight. Don’t get it twisted. But I’m not impressed by the knockouts he’s had. I don’t really feel like he’s knocked out a fighter yet.”
