Former world heavyweight champion David Haye believes that Jake Paul will "shock the world" after praising the YouTuber for his "genius" match-up with Hasim Rahman Jr.
Paul announced last week that Tommy Fury was unable to make it to America due to visa issues, meaning that he has to replace him with Rahman Jr for the Madison Square Garden bout on 6 August. Upon hearing the news, Haye messaged close friend BJ Flores - who serves as Paul's trainer - to let him know his thoughts on the new match-up.
Haye and Flores have been friends since their days competing at the top level of boxing, with the latter a multiple-time world title challenger. The Brit has had less contact with his American pal since he took over in Paul's camp, which is based in Puerto Rico, but they stay in touch, with Flores sharing a snapshot of their messages, with some parts redacted.
