Jake Paul accused of ignoring British Olympian after cancelling Tommy Fury fight

UFC legend Michael Bisping has accused Jake Paul of avoiding British Olympian Cheavon Clarke after cancelling his fight with Tommy Fury.

Paul is expected to announce today that he will fight Hasim Rahman Jr, after Fury was forced out of another fight date between the two over a travel issue. He has been pushing to make sure that his August 6 fight night at Madison Square Garden will still go ahead, against a legitimate boxer with a considerable winning record.

But Bisping has reminded him of a heated argument he had with Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn where he agreed to face Clarke, who is 2-0 as a professional. Clarke was one of Hearn's cruiserweights with a 10-0 or below record that Paul claimed he could beat after Hearn mocked him for his hefty claims about his future in the sport.
