Hasim responds to Jake Paul’s reason
Other than the reason given by Jake Paul for his canceled fight with Hasim. Hasim has now come up with his part of his story. According to Hasim Rahman Jr., it was Jake and his team that called off the fight, not him. According to him, within a period of 3 ½ weeks, he was going to go down to 200 pounds that were signed in his contract.

However, with so much time, he was only able to get down to 215 pounds. Also, he said, “Where in boxing do you see them canceling fights a week in advance?” Hasim said they didn’t even give him his last week to drop as few pounds as he could. So it looks like Hasim is still up for a fight with Jake. While Jake has yet to respond on Hasim’s reaction.
