Since announcing the news, Paul and Rahman have gone back and forth on social media with the son of a legend insisting it was not him who forced the fight to be called off.

His fight vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. won't be happening, so Jake Paul clearly had a lot to say when he weighed in on the topic.

They want to change the weight to 205 pounds. This is clearly an excuse to say, ‘OK, the fight is not at 215? So he signed a contract to fight me at 200 pounds and was going to cut the weight down to 200 pounds. From the jump, I knew in the bottom of my heart that this guy didn’t want to get in there with me. We’re going to have to change this fight to 205 pounds. Do you want to do the fight still?’ I said, ‘No problem. From the jump, I knew in the bottom of my heart that this guy didn’t want to get in there with me. The commission wanted to track his weight cut to make sure he was doing it in a healthy way. He’s a big guy with a ton of weight to lose. Paul echoed much of what the initial news release from his promotion, Most Valuable Promotions said. While Paul initially issued a brief written comment, he dove more in-depth in a pair of videos uploaded to social media. According to Most Valuable Promotions, Hasim Rahman Jr. deceived the promotion, commission, and Paul about his weight.

Paul has been forced to cancel his fight with Rahman Jr just weeks after drafting him in as a replacement opponent for Fury.

Between him and Tommy they have cost me and my partners millions and millions of dollars."

Speaking at UFC 277's post-fight press conference, he said: "I think Jake Paul probably needs to get some different people around him. It's been alleged the 31-year-old wanted the bout to be held at 215lbs, 25lbs higher than Paul fights. If he's going to stay in the sport, he needs to be with guys that really know how to put on fights."

White and Paul have a long-running verbal rivalry and the UFC president had some words of wisdom for the YouTube star last night.

He then agreed a new deal with Fury for next weekend before the Brit was prevented from travelling.

The grudge match between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr comes after the pair fell out during a set of sparring sessions in 2020. There’s no reason that I should win this but I’m proving to the world and proving to the kids out there that if you truly put your mind to something and you’re dedicated, then you will win."

I'm sick of it, I'm devastated and I apologise to everyone on the undercard. He sent a video to the commission the first time he weighed in at 216lb.

“All he gotta say is, ‘Okay, I beat you up at 230, I’ll beat you up at 215!’ I’m still coming down in weight. It’s not me pulling out of the fight, it’s them not wanting to fight. “I signed the contract to fight at 200 pounds within the three, thee-and-a-half weeks I had to do it, but I couldn’t do it, my body simply would not let me do it, would not let me get down to 200 pounds,” Rahman Jr. said on social media. UFC President Dana White believes Paul and MVP bailed on the event after failing to sell enough tickets to break even. “MVP was sent two weight checks by Hasim Rahman’s management team,” a representative from MVP wrote. Or, ‘I’ll beat you up at 210.’ He don’t wanna do it because he don’t want a real competitive fight. We requested these videos to ensure Mr. Rahman did not have to lose more than 10% of his body weight over a four week period.” I didn’t even get my last week to get down as low as I could. “Ya’ll blame your boy Jake Paul for this fight not happening, it ain’t have nothing to do with me or my team, Jake Paul was scared to make the fight,” Rahman Jr. said. That’s how much it means to me and how much faith I have in knocking him out.” Jake Paul could have fought a real boxer, but he don’t want to fight a real boxer, he wanted to drain me down and fight a shell of me. “So if you beat me up while I was 230, what’s the problem fighting me at 215?

Tommy Fury saw a scheduled 6 August clash with the YouTube star fall through, before replacement Hasim Rahman Jr suffered the same fate.

Either way, both Rahman Jr and Fury have boosted their profiles significantly without even stepping into the ring with Paul. They have done so simply through association to the 25-year-old, such is the size of his following and strength of his influence. The latter decision might have been ridiculed publicly by Paul, but the retort of being too big to box the social-media influencer would have been widely accepted. So, rather than suggesting that the collapse of Paul vs Rahman Jr was down to any genuine fear in the latter, or that Fury before him was scared of Paul, the point here is to acknowledge the cost-of-risk analysis employed by each opponent of the YouTube star. Now, however, Paul is willing to fight a professional boxer – but only on his terms, and those terms may not make his chosen opponents especially willing themselves. Meanwhile, Rahman Jr suggested last month that he was given “45 minutes” to accept the offer of a contest against Paul, lest the opportunity to box his old sparring partner evade him forever. The 25-year-old was also quick to add: “This is just another case of another professional boxer, just like Tommy Fury, being scared to fight me.”
