Jake Pail will not be fighting Hasim Rahman Jr after all.
According to Paul, Rahman, who was supposed to cut a considerable amount of weight for the fight,and decided not to cut any weight. Rahman, who was supposed to cut from 215 to 200 pounds didn’t cut any weight and wanted the fight to be negotiated at a higher weight of 215 pounds.
First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me.
I apologize to all of the of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https://t.co/0q6MxqG3XJ
