This Jake Paul Fight vs. Tyron Woodley rematch could be the knockout of the year. The 24-year-old has slowly won the respect of boxing fans with his knockout of Woodley in the sixth round. The first time Paul fought Woodley, he lost in the second round. Now, Paul is a rising star and may become boxing’s biggest star by 2021. This article will take a look at the latest development.
Rahman Jr. reneged on contract weight
According to the boxing news site The Ring, Rahman Jr. reneged on his contract weight after learning that he would have to fight at a much higher weight than the original 205 pounds he’d agreed to. The promoter of the fight, Jake Paul, has since apologized to the other fighters that were affected by the fight’s cancellation. Rahman, a former heavyweight champion, believes that Paul’s team is scared of him because it’s not their fault.
The bout was supposed to headline a Showtime PPV at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 6. But the promotion of Rahman and Paul, along with Amanda Serrano, cancelled the fight after the promoter learned that Rahman had reneged on his contract weight. The fight was supposed to feature the YouTube sensation Jake Paul in the main event. But Rahman had lost less than one pound since he announced the fight. As a result, Rahman’s promoter sent the fighter a new contract with severe penalties if he failed to meet the weight requirement.
The ring announcement was announced shortly before the fight took place. Despite the fact that Rahman reneged on the contract weight, the fight has been rescheduled several times. The first bout was supposed to feature Paul against Tommy Fury. But after Fury was denied entry into the United States, the promotion was forced to change plans. Rahman’s contract was made under short notice, which allowed him to fight Paul on a different date.
The second scheduled opponent for Rahim Jr. was Tommy Fury. Fury has twice withdrawn from fights with Paul. The second was also cancelled due to his family’s association with a criminal named Daniel Kinahan. Rahman Jr.’s replacement, Tommy Fury, was a surprise loss.
Paul blamed KSI
During a recent interview with ESPN, boxing legend KSI said that Jake Paul was the reason he wasn’t paid the purse for the fight. The boxer was so upset with KSI’s decision that he said he is ready to quit the sport and fight someone more respectable. KSI is an American boxing promoter who has won over five million viewers and a rematch with Paul would be huge for both men.
After a press conference with KSI last week, Paul walked out. The press conference ended with KSI ripping Paul’s girlfriend Chloe Bennet to pieces. Later, Paul’s father was punched in the head. The entire incident led to Paul putting down his martial arts training and returning to street fighting. KSI, on the other hand, has more than 15.6 million YouTube subscribers.
KSI, on the other hand, is still prepared to let Jake in on the undercard of a KSI fight. The two are due to meet on August 27 in London at the O2 Arena. However, the fight has been postponed after Wassabi suffered a concussion during training. Jake Paul is willing to travel to the UK for the fight. KSI’s next opponent will be Deji, Jake Paul’s younger brother.
Long record
While Jake Paul hasn’t fought since November, KSI has a long record of beating YouTubers. In fact, he has previously defeated fellow YouTuber Logan Paul in November. Paul also claimed that KSI was out of his league in terms of preparation and he’s ready to take on the champ. In a Twitter battle, Jake Paul called KSI a b***h, calling him “b***h.”
After the KSI and Jake Paul’s KSI fight was cancelled, many fans and boxing entities have been commenting on the issue. Dana White, the UFC president, has since issued a statement urging Jake Paul to be with people who can make fights happen. KSI also responded, telling Paul that his decision was made based on his team’s decision. There’s no doubt that Paul is disappointed with the decision.
Fury was an option
After reportedly agreeing to fight Jake Paul at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 6, the British boxer Tommy Fury was denied entry into the U.S. a few days ago. He hasn’t visited the embassy, but his legal team has been in touch with Paul’s team. There is still a deadline for Fury to make the trip, and Jake Paul may have other plans in mind.
In a tweet, Jake Paul acknowledged that Tommy Fury was unable to fight him on short notice. Although he didn’t specify who he would fight, the 30-year-old acknowledged that he was “not happy” with the money Fury was offering him. Jake Paul’s social media accounts were filled with criticisms of Fury, and the British heavyweight champion’s younger half-brother said he is willing to fight in a neutral country. He’s confident that he could defeat the YouTube sensation, but it would take a big fight for the American to accept the prize.
However, it was not to be. Although Fury’s legal issue with Jake Paul’s promoter Frank Warren wasn’t revealed, a rumor surfaced on Tuesday that the British heavyweight was pulling out of the fight. However, the British champion has now said he’s hoping to reschedule the fight. Although he’s a ringside favorite, his health situation has put him in a coma and has not yet been healed.
Hasim Rahman Jr.
After being refused entry into the U.S., Jake Paul is now set to fight heavyweight prospect Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6 at Madison Square Garden. The bout is now a showtime pay-per-view event. Previously, Jake Paul was supposed to face Tommy Fury on August 6, but he was forced to back out due to visa issues. Jake Paul wants to check boxing off his bucket list and has found a replacement.
The next opponent for the Jake Paul fight could be Tyson. Although Fury is considered a heavyweight, Paul has only been in the sport for a short time. In addition, his limited experience in boxing might not appeal to his massive fan base. If he does get a fight against Tyson, it will surely be a great test for his skills. But who knows? A matchup with Tyson may be more exciting than anyone can imagine.
Andrew Tate has not had talks with Paul about a future fight
There have been many rumors of an upcoming fight between the two fighters, but they have not been confirmed. Although Jake has many fans on social media, a recent video surfaced in which the former kickboxer slammed Paul in an attempt to get him to fight him. In another video, Jake responded by requesting a fight with Andrew on Twitter, but that account has been banned since.
According to his training partner, a fight between Jake Paul and Andrew Tate would be a monster. The fight was previously scheduled against Hasim Rahman Jr. but was postponed due to weight issues. Tate, who has been very popular on social media, has expressed interest in fighting Jake Paul. In his recent videos, he has vowed to destroy Paul if they meet.
Andrew Tate is a controversial kickboxer and an Internet celebrity. According to his biography, he has fought 87 times and lost nine times. In an amateur MMA fight, he beat former UFC star Luke Barnatt. He has also competed in professional MMA, but he only has one fight under his belt. Despite his controversial past, Tate is now attempting to make a comeback as a mixed martial artist. He claims to own a casino in Romania and has plans to open a Hustlers University there.
While there are no details on whether Tate will fight Paul, the two have been linked for a long time. He previously faced Woodley at the beginning of his career, but was forced to back out because of injuries. Regardless, there are still several rumors surrounding the future of the pair. While it is too early to confirm a fight, his dad has denied any involvement in the negotiations.
