Jake Paul admits he is "crazy" after choosing opponent to replace Tommy Fury

Jake Paul believes that replacing Tommy Fury with Hasim Rahman Jr is an example of what makes him "crazy".

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been criticised for not facing any legitimate boxers, and forced through two deals to face Fury in December and August in order to change that perception. But the Brit has pulled out of both of their scheduled fights just weeks out, first with a rib injury and then a visa issue that stopped him from entering America.

He replaced Fury with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley back in December, but fans were unimpressed with the match-up, given Paul had already won their first meeting in August. He has now enlisted Rahman Jr, whose dad is former world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, to be his next opponent; boasting a 12-1 record.
