Jake Paul's promotional company are branding his upcoming fight with Hasim Rahman Jr as "David vs Goliath" after the pair showed off their massive size difference in a face-off this week.
Paul and Rahman Jr have sparred before back in 2020, but they came head-to-head for the first time as rivals in New York on Tuesday for a press conference to launch their upcoming fight. The Baltimore native, whose dad was world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, stepped in on short notice to replace Tommy Fury when the Brit was forced out due to visa issues.
And having most recently tipped the scales at 224lb, around 33lb more than Paul did for his last fight, Rahman Jr is a legitimate heavyweight, who will have a major size advantage over his opponent. He will have to make the 200lb cruiserweight limit and then 215lb the following morning, but looked much bigger than Paul on stage at their pre-fight press conference three weeks out.
