‘He’s barely paying me’ – Hasim Rahman Jr to be LOWEST-paid Jake Paul opponent as he slams claims he will take a dive

HASIM RAHMAN JR claimed he will be Jake Paul’s lowest-paid opponent and slammed accusations that he will take a dive.

The son of ex-heavyweight world champion Hasim Sr has signed to replace Tommy Fury on August 6 in New York.

Internet conspiracists quickly used the fact Rahman Jr and Paul previously sparred to fuel to baseless claims the fight will be fixed.

But Rahman Jr has been fast to hit out at the “trolls” and warned that the YouTube star-turned boxer made “the worst mistake of his life”.

He said on Instagram: “Y’all sound so stupid. He’s barely paying me to begin with, so what the f***?

“I ain’t doing this for the money, I’m getting the least amount any Jake opponent ever got, so what are y’all talking about ‘he’s paying me’?

“Stop it, stop it, this whole fantasy land you little Jake trolls are living in, that s is over with, war Rahman we on some real.

“Bunch of f***ing YouTuber fans, you’re about to get something so crazy Inshallah – they look at my last fight, they look at sparring, they can look at whatever.

“When this killer gets in there, oh yeah, it’s going to get real.

“That man made the worst mistake of his life choosing to fight me, is he crazy?

“You know what time it is, I’m not getting paid good, I’m not in this for the money, it’s the least amount that any of his opponents ever got, it ain’t about the money, it was never about that, this is for us.”

Rahman Jr won his first 12 fights, six by knockout, but was beaten for the first time in April.

He was stopped in round five by James McKenzie Morrison, 31, who is the son of former heavyweight champ Tommy.

Whereas Paul is 5-0 but prepares to fight a recognised boxer for the first time, despite previously sparring Rahman Jr twice.

His prior wins came against an online rival, ex-NBA star and two former MMA world champions.

Paul, 25, was due to fight Fury, 23, but for a second time the celebrity grudge match was axed.

This time, Fury was withdrawn amid US visa issues, having last year pulled out after suffering a broken rib.

Paul enters the toughest fight of his boxing career up in weight against an opponent with almost three times as many bouts.

But he posted: “It doesn’t matter. They don’t have my heart, don’t have my drive & definitely don’t have my team.

“August 6 I’m showing the world that Jake Paul is a bad mother f***er.”
