Jake Paul's next opponent Hasim Rahman Jr is offended that boxing minds like Tim Bradley, Eddie Hearn and Dana White believe he will lose to the YouTube star next month.
The heavyweight boxer will make a massive cut to cruiserweight in order to take on Paul, with whom he sparred during the social media star's early professional career. Rahman Jr is a much bigger and more experienced fighter than Paul, but he has been written off by a number of famed combat sports minds who believe Paul has stacked the deck too well in his favour.
White questioned why Paul wasn't fighting the man who beat Rahman Jr in his last fight; Kenzie Morrison, although he refused to explicitly say that he believes the YouTuber will win. And Hearn claimed the American was an "alright opponent" for Paul, which has fuelled him heading into their August 6 fight date at Madison Square Garden.
