KSI is taking full advantage of the Jake Paul-Hasim Rahman Jr situation to mock his YouTube rival. The British, YouTuber/Boxer is getting ready to step into the ring this August while the younger Paul brother doesn’t seem to have an opponent last moment.
JJ Olatunji, also known as KSI, has been beefing internet sensation, Jake Paul, for the past few years. Though JJ has now made peace with Jake’s older brother Logan Paul after their fights in the boxing ring, the UK boxer just can’t come to terms with the younger brother. The two have been going back and forth for a time now. KSI even called out Jake as one of the main targets on his hit list.
JJ is now set to fight Alex Wassabi in August which can be viewed on DAZN Boxing. After the cancelation of Jake vs Hasim Rahman Jr, the UK boxer jokingly offers Paul a spot in his undercard on August 27th. The fighter in a recent YouTube video of his reacted to Jake canceling the fight against Hasim. “Jake should’ve accepted my offer, should’ve fought on my undercard. There’s still time, you can fight Tommy Fury on my undercard,” said JJ.
Jake was initially supposed to fight Tommy Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury but the UK boxer bailed out last moment due to VISA complications. Jake has had his fight opponents cancel the fight thrice in a row now. Hasim Rahman Jr was supposed to be Tommy’s replacement but now that fight also seems to be down the drain.
Why did Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman Jr get canceled?
Jake and Hasim were initially supposed to fight each other on August 6th at the Madison Square Garden on SHOWTIME PPV. The fight was set at 200 pounds and both the fighters officially signed the contract. Hasim is a known heavyweight and has never come down to 200 pounds. The fighter admitted that he can’t make weight 200 pounds.
The fight was canceled by Jake, however, according to the professional boxer. Hasim cleared up all the rumors on the internet regarding his weight cut with an Instagram video from his official account. “My body would simply not let me do it. It would not let me get down to 200 pounds,” said Rahman Jr. in his Instagram video. The fighter claimed that Jake canceled the fight weeks before which is very unusual in a boxing event.
“Where in boxing do you see them canceling fights a whole week in advance? I didn’t even get my last week to get down as low as I could,” said Rahman. Hasim also offers to fight Jake by taking a penalty for his weight miss and even fighting for a minimum of $5,000.
