Jake Paul has been left to count the cost of his cancelled fight with Hasim Rahman Jr after the YouTube star pulled the plug a week before the first bell.
Paul drafted in Rahman Jr as a replacement opponent for Tommy Fury after the brother of heavyweight legend Tyson was banned from flying to the United States. But last night Paul was forced to cancel next weekend's event altogether when he alleged Rahman Jr had refused to cut down to either 200lb or 205lb.
The fight had initially been made at the cruiserweight limit but Paul agreed to increase it when Rahman lost only one pound in the first three weeks of his training camp. Paul then claims Rahman said he would weigh in at 215lb, forcing the social media star to cancel the Madison Square Garden card.
