    Hasim Rahman Jr weighs in at 206lb despite Jake Paul fight cancellation and slams ‘SCARED’ YouTube boxing star

    HASIM RAHMAN JR weighed in at 206.6lb despite his fight with Jake Paul being cancelled – and hit out at the YouTube star after. Rahman called for a late-notice weigh in at the famous Gleason’s boxing gym in New York in a bid to prove he could make 205lb.

    And after hitting the scales 1lb over, with SunSport in attendance, he said: “Stop being scared Jake.
    “Stop being scared, look I’m right here at 206, clearly I could make 205. Give the people what they want.
    “They wanna see us fight, they wanna see you in the ring with a real fighter, you’ve got a real fighter right here willing to make 205.
    “Stop being scared and fight. It’s that simple.”

    The son of heavyweight legend Hasim Sr was due to fight Paul this weekend at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden.
    But a weight disagreement between the two forced the entire Madison Square Garden pay-per-view to be scrapped.
    Rahman, 31, signed to fight at the 14st 4lb cruiserweight limit of 200lb, despite being 16 stone in his last fight in April.
    So the New York State Athletic Commission wanted to track his weight cut but later changed the fight weight to 205lb.

    Paul then spoke out to claim Rahman refused the change and would scale no less than 215lb, prompting the MSG card to be axed.
    But Rahman denied the allegations and staged the private weigh in as a result.
    He still weighed in over the contracted weight but would have been given additional time by the commission to get down to 205lb.
    Per Rahman’s initial deal, every 1lb would have resulted in losing 25 per cent of his purse and he was given a 10lb rehydration limit.

    But the American claimed he would have accepted the penalty if necessary.
    Rahman said: “I came in a pound over, you signed the contract to fine me 25 per cent, I’ll take the 25 per cent and do the rehydration the next day.”

    KSI has undergone a dramatic body transformation ahead of his long-awaited return to the ring.The YouTuber and music star will be back in action on August 27 in a grudge match against fellow social media sensation Alex Wassabi.
    KSI put on the beef in the two years after his clash with Logan Paul
    The YouTuber showed off his weight gain on his social media channels
    But the social media star has undergone a dramatic body transformation
    KSI is looking mean and lean ahead of his clash with Alex Wassabi
    KSI’s clash with the American is his first outing since his controversial split-decision victory over Logan Paul in November 2019.
    KSI let his diet slip after winning the Los Angeles showdown and piled on the pounds – although he’s shifted the blubber in a drastic body transformation.
    The 27-year-old shared a video documenting his eight-month journey back to fighting fitness on his social media channels on Friday morning.
    At the star of the clip, a podgy-looking KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – stood in front of the camera and turned around to show off his whole body.

    But seconds later, the video cut to a lean and mean-looking KSI showing off his shredded abs.
    His accompanying caption for the video read: “TikTok age restricted my video because it thought my chest were actual t**s.
    “I’ll just post it here.”
    KSI’s legion of followers were quick to comment, with one saying: “Damn.”

    He said: “I can’t wait to repeatedly punch the man I’ve had beef with for years.

    “The man I’ve laughed at for years, the man that beat my brother, the man that has signed his death wish as soon as we enter the ring.

    “I was working with him and putting the pressure on him and I could have done that for another 20-30 rounds.
    “Cardio is king and he just wasn’t fit for his last fight, I don’t think Deji mentally wants it and I don’t think he has the mindset and cardio to win.

    Murray said on The MMA Hour: “We have a relationship with Jake.
    “And listen, you think about what Jake has built for himself, now as an athlete versus where he came from.

    “1. Buy Mayweather Promotions and save them from bankruptcy.

    Paul ended 2021 with a sensational knockout of Woodley as he put to bed the closeness of their first fight – which he won by split decision.
    And the sixth round KO was enough to earn him the ESPN Knockout of the Year award – although some boxing fans were furious at Paul being given the accolade.
    There have also been accusations that the pay-per-view numbers for the Woodley rematch were poor.
    But Paul hit back at those claims with a rant on social media.
    He said: “The PPV number rumours are bulls***. First fight with Woodley we sold 500k+.
    “Numbers for this one [the rematch] are still rolling in but still looking positive.
    Not my best business night. But remember.. everyone wanted to see me vs Fury and that’s what we sold.
    “Shoutout to Showtime for riding with me and all the fighters on the card and Tyron for not being a b***h like most of these ‘fighters’ are..” More
