The next opponent of star content-maker-boxer Jake Paul (5-0, 4 KOs), American heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) remembered how in 2020 he helped him acquire and polish skills as a sparring partner.
According to Paul, it was not sparring, but “a real war.”
However, Hasim has a different version. He claims that he was simply forbidden to cause serious damage to Jake.
“I just tried to let him go a little and told him that I was actually here as an inferior person,” Rahman recalls. “I told him, ‘I didn’t come here to beat you up or see that you are not at my level, or that you are not ready for that level. Your trainers asked not to knock you out.” They really told me that if I knocked him out, then most likely I would not be paid, and this was the height of the pandemic (coronavirus). The price tag was $100 a round and it was an easy job for me that I didn’t want to lose.”
The Pol-Rahman fight is scheduled for August 6 in New York (USA).
The day before, it turned out that Jake Paul was in the hospital: everything is serious, but the fight with Rahman will take place.
