JAKARTA - Jake Paul's match with Hasim Rahman Jr. is cancelled. Cancellations are made at the last minute.
Initially, the YouTube star will fight Hasim Rahman at Madison Square Garden, next weekend. However, a statement from Most Valuable Promotions said the fight would not take place.
In the statement said Rahman's team tried to change the weight of the fight. That's what reportedly pissed Jake off.
"The boxing community must hold Hasim Rahman Jr accountable for his lack of professionalism," the statement said.

According to The Sun, Rahman and his team have already offered assurances they will be on track at Friday's weigh-in, at 200 pounds. Paul's team claims it's also ready to raise the weight to 200 pounds.
But then Rahman indicated he would go up by 215 pounds. Jake Paul's side took surprising action, canceling the fight.
With the fight ending, refunds are offered to ticket holders and PPV buyers.
This is the second time Jake Paul has failed to fight. Previously, this public figure from the United States was scheduled to fight boxer Tommy Fury.
However, the fight was canceled because Fury had visa problems and couldn't fight the YouTuber at Madison Square Garden. In fact, Paul has been sparring with former world champion Chad Dawson in preparation for the fight.
