Hasim Rahman Jr has claimed YouTube star Jake Paul may not "feel safe" due to their sizeable weight difference.
Paul was set to face Tommy Fury after the pair signed contracts for a second time, but the fight collapsed after his long-term rival was banned from entering the US. The YouTube star will instead face Rahman Jr, who has a professional record of 12-1 in the ring, and also has a significant size advantage over his rival.
The 27-year-old recently used Chris Eubank Jr's potential upcoming fight with Conor Benn to defend the insertion of a rehydration clause in his fight contract with Rahman Jr. He wrote on Twitter : "Conor Benn dirty because he doesn’t want Chris Eubank to have a massive size advantage fight night? No…just wants a fair/safe fight. Rahman can weigh-in @ any weight fight night. 200 weigh-in, 214 at noon fight-day, any weight fight night. Stop making excuses Jr."
