Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr have heated first face-off ahead of August fight

Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr got into a heated face-off two years after their last meeting ahead of their fight next month.

Rahman Jr was joined by his heavyweight champion father on stage at Madison Square Garden where he went head-to-head with Paul to launch their August 6 fight. And it got aggressive after the pair argued during the press conference over footage from their previous spar, which Paul released a snippet of to promote the bout.
