KSI issues mocking reaction to Jake Paul cancelling Hasim Rahman Jr fight

KSI implied that Jake Paul cancelling his upcoming bout with Hasim Rahman Jr was "nothing important" before promoting his own boxing comeback.

The pair have had a long-standing rivalry dating back to KSI's initial boxing match with Joe Weller in 2018, when he called out then-Disney Channel star Paul for a fight. Ultimately, the Brit ended up having a series of bouts with his Jake's older brother Logan, while the younger sibling forged a 5-0 professional career of his own.

But as KSI continues to prepare for his own return to the ring, he has mocked Paul for cancelling his first fight of 2022 at the last minute. The rapper, whose real name is JJ Olatunji, will face Paul's close friend Alex Wassabi on August 27, and hopes to get one more tune-up fight before eventually challenging Paul next year.
