Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. had their first press conference for their upcoming Showtime PPV fight and Rahman clowned the Youtuber, asking him if he’d learned how to fight.
“I don’t know why they’re so worried. The fact that they keep on saying that’s a telltale sign, ‘Sparring isn’t fighting.’ Because you’re probably a little bit nervous about what happened,” said Jake Paul. “Under the lights, 10oz gloves, of course it’s different. That’s why I do this sport. I don’t do this sport to spar, I do this shit to fight…”
Rahman doesn’t believe Paul has faced any credible opponents.
“And you ain’t fought nobody, everybody you’ve fought, it’s been their debut,” Rahman said. “Don’t turn your back and run like you did when we sparred. Don’t do that, and I will be using both hands. I only used one hand when I sparred him. He can’t even spar nobody with one hand, he’s not even at that level. I boxed this man with one hand tied behind my back, and I promise you he turned his back and ran from me.”
The pair went back and forth for some time.
“He’s a runner he’s a track star!” Rahman sang. “Why you running in a boxing ring? Do you know how to box? Have you learned that yet? Have you learned that you can’t run yet? Have you learned that much yet, that you can’t be running in the ring? Did you learn that yet? It’s only been 18 months.”
