Hasim Rahman Jr shows off ripped six pack in warning to rival Jake Paul

Hasim Rahman Jr faces a hefty weight cut to make the 200lb limit for his fight with Jake Paul, but the heavyweight looks to be in excellent shape just over a week out from the clash.

Rahman Jr takes on Paul on August 6 in the YouTube star's sixth professional fight. Rahman, the son of a former heavyweight champion, filled in for Love Island star Tommy Fury when he failed to guarantee he could travel to the US for the fight after being denied entry to the country for the fight's press conference.

Holding a professional record of 12-1, all of Rahman's fights so far have taken place at heavyweight but he must weigh in at 200lb to face Paul. Rahman tipped the scale at 224lb for his last outing, a stoppage loss to Tommy Morrison, whilst Paul has comfortably made the cruiserweight limit by weighing 190lb for most of his fights.
