Jake Paul will no longer be fighting Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6th at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Paul (5-0) was slated to face his biggest test to date in the form of Rahman Jr. (12-1) next month in New York.<\/p>\n

The son of former heavyweight champ Hasim Rahman had agreed to fight \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 after Paul\u2019s original opponent Tommy Fury was denied entry into the U.S.<\/a> and forced to pullout of the contest.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for boxing fans, the Paul – Rahman Jr. fight has now been called off, this after the latter apparently refused to make the contractual weight of 200lbs.<\/p>\n

Most Valuable Promotions issued the following statement announcing that fight was off due to alleged weight deception.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul took to Twitter<\/a> where he issued the following apology to boxing fans, this while blasting both Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr.<\/p>\n

\n

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. <\/p>\n

I apologize to all of the of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https:\/\/t.co\/0q6MxqG3XJ<\/a><\/p>\n
