JAKARTA - Jake Paul seemed to celebrate the moment of the cancellation of the fight against Hasim Rahman Jr. The YouTuber announced on Sunday morning that the August 6 event at Madison Square Garden would not go ahead as planned.
Rahman Jr demanded 11 hours of Paul, as various reports illustrate, to change the weight of the fight to 215 pounds. However, Paul was angered by Rahman Jr's demands.
After meeting with Rahman Jr., Paul uploaded an Insta story with the caption "The most feared man in the world of boxing."
Why did Paul cancel the fight?According to Most Valuable Promotions, the fight was canceled because Rahman Jr did not comply with monitoring the scales before the fight.
Most Valuable Promotions announced that Rahman Jr. signed an agreement to fight on August 6 with a maximum weight of 200 pounds.
Allegedly, Rahman Jr lost 1 pound before the fight. However, the British fighter disputed people's version of Paul's side and said he was down 19 pounds.
Paul's team did not release any evidence of the incident. He posted on social media announcing the cancellation and said everyone was afraid of him.
"First Tommy Failed and now Hasim Rahman collapsed. These boxers are the hardest people to work with and constantly lack the professionalism and confidence to fight me," Paul tweeted.
First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me. I apologize to all of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https://t.co/0q6MxqG3XJ

Meanwhile, Rahman Jr uploaded two videos explaining that Paul canceled the fight. He even wanted to charge a minimum to face Paul in the ring.
"I signed a contract to make 200 pounds in three, three and a half weeks to do it," said Rahman Jr.
"But I can't do it. My body won't let me do it."
"He (Jake Paul) wanted to drain me and fight the shallow me."
From the moment I got the call to right now 19 lbs, the lowest I hit in camp 21 lbs. https://t.co/PrH2UJjXqK
