Paul vs. Rahman Jr. was set to go down August 6 at Madison Sq. Backyard in NYC … however only one week earlier than the extremely anticipated scrap, Most Useful Promotions introduced the combat was off.

All of it has to do with the burden of Hasim, who beforehand  fought at heavyweight, weighing greater than 260 kilos. For the combat with Jake, Rahman Jr. agreed to weigh a most of 200 kilos at weigh-ins, the day earlier than the combat.

Nevertheless, MPV says Rahman Jr. was obligated to indicate the NY state athletic fee officers he was losing a few pounds within the lead as much as the combat, in an effort to forestall an enormous weight reduce in an try to make 200 kilos.

Sadly, MVP says Hasim had misplaced lower than one pound since signing the contract for the combat greater than 3 weeks in the past.
