Star content maker and part-time professional boxer Jake Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) explained why he chose American heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr.
Turns out it’s a mental issue.
Recall that the fight is scheduled for August 6 in New York (USA).
“In my opinion, this is a more difficult fight (than with Fury). I want to test myself, show the fans that I’m crazy, a real psycho, – said Paul. “There is no reason why I should have taken this fight. The manager told me: “I don’t think the risk is comparable to the reward, the risk here does not justify the reward.” My brother said the same thing: “Bro, I don’t think you should be doing this. What if he accidentally knocks you out because then you get knocked out by a guy no one knows.”
“But you know, I don’t care, because I’m crazy,” Jake continued. – I want to prove to the boxing world that I am a tough pepper, because I am. So I’m going into the ring against a kid with a 12-1 record that’s bigger and faster than Tommy Fury. And I’ll rock the performance of my life.”
In June, Floyd Mayweather revealed that Ward wants to take on Jake Paul.
