Jake Paul releases footage of confrontation with new opponent Hasim Rahman Jr

Jake Paul claims he has wanted to fight Hasim Rahman Jr for two years after a sparring session between the pair turned tetchy.

The YouTube star was just 1-0 as a professional when he last stepped between the ropes with Rahman, who at the time was 9-0. The pair sparred twice early in Paul's career, and he has now released footage from one of their sessions, in which Rahman is visibly irritated by something he or his team have done.

Both men appear to be having their gloves taken off, which indicates that it comes after Rahman and Paul had sparred, although it is unclear exactly when the footage was taken. Paul can be heard saying that he "knows when someone is up to something," which angers Rahman.
