Hasim Rahman Jr to fight Jake Paul instead of Tommy Fury

KARACHI: Hasim Rahman Jr., a heavyweight, will now face Jake Paul in the United States next month in place of Tommy Fury.

On August 6, Fury was scheduled to face Paul in New York, but he was refused admission.

A day after Paul said Fury had missed a deadline to fix the travel problems, Rahman Jr. made his revelation.

Rahman Jr., the former heavyweight boxing champion's son, has won 12 of his 13 matches, including six by way of knockout.

Paul responded by referring to the 23-year-old as "a terrified little child who doesn't want to fight or understand business" after Fury stated that he would be happy to take on Paul in a neutral nation that both parties could join.
