JAKARTA - Hasim Rahman Sr. said he would be happy to fight Jake and Logan Paul back-to-back despite being 49 years old.
Rahman Sr's son was supposed to play Jake Paul on August 6, but it was cancelled. And now, the dad is the one who really wants to get in the ring with the boxer youtuber.
The two-time heavyweight champion told TMZ Sports he would replace his son and face more than one Paul.
"How about this?" Hasim said, "If someone is going to agree to this, I will fight Jake and Logan back-to-back. We can fight eight rounds.
"Neither of them will go through eight rounds but we can sanction eight rounds and I promise, if I don't knock Jake and Logan out, they win."
Rahman Jr's fight with Jake Paul at MSG on Saturday had to be called off with the youtuber accusing Rahman of ignoring the weight limit agreed in the contract.
Meanwhile, Rahman Sr's chances against the Paul brothers in one night are slim. However, the talk of the fight shows how he views Logan and Jake's boxing abilities.
Rahman Sr was asked if the fight between his son and Paul could be rescheduled for another time and he had suggestions on how the contract could be honored.
"If society demands, both parties can deposit a million dollars in escrow. That way we can be sure nothing won't add weight. If anyone misses, whatever the contract demands, they will be met or not. Someone will lose a million their dollars," he said.
Escrow is a legal agreement in which an item is kept by a third party while waiting for the contents of the contract to be fulfilled.
Throughout his career, Rahman Sr. recorded a 50-9-2 record with 41 KOs. He retired in 2014.
