MUHSIN CASON has put a family feud to one side in a bid to steal the show on Jake Paul’s undercard.
Cason features on the pay-per-view headlined by celebrity boxing rivals Paul and Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

The cruiserweight is the younger brother of heavyweight legend Hasim Rahman, who stunned Lennox Lewis in 2001 but lost the rematch.
And Cason – 21 years Rahman’s junior – is ready to announce himself as the latest boxing star to come out of the fighting family.
He told SunSport: “This is the fight where people are going to know why I got picked for this card. I’m ready to show everybody what talent I have.
“I’m not just Hasim Rahman’s younger brother. I’m a boxer, I’m a box-puncher and I’m going to prove to everybody I can become world champion, inshallah.”
Cason spent time sparring with Paul in Puerto Rico in 2021, building a relationship that has seen him afforded a slot on the weekend’s card against Taryel Jafarov.
But the friendship was fractured last summer when his nephew, Rahman Jr, signed to fight Paul in place of Fury last year.
Rahman Jr’s fight was later scrapped with a week to go amid a weight disagreement, leaving the bad blood with Paul still brewing on his side.
Cason talked with his nephew – who is actually two years older than him – after being offered a spot on the YouTuber-turned boxer’s card.
He revealed: “Yeah, I spoke to him. He said congratulations. He just said, ‘Your time’ basically. There’s no animosity towards me fighting on Jake Paul’s card.
“I was in camp with Jake before this, so it’s just business. If it makes dollars, it makes sense.”
Rahman Jr, holding no grudges, added: “I don’t have beef with nobody that’s not trying to stop me from eating.
“They did what they did, they showed their true colours and I did what I did and showed my true colours.
“I feel like they know who was wrong in the whole situation, and they tried to dress it up and pin it on me but they know who was wrong.
“I’ve been blessed with ample opportunities, so there’s no way I would tell my uncle, ‘Don’t mess with this guy.’
“No man, I want my uncle to prosper, I want him to go out there and actually steal the show from Jake. I want him to get knockout of the night.”
Cason was fuming when Paul, 26, aimed a dig his way during a pre-fight press conference with Rahman Jr, 31.
But as the dust later settled, so too did his urge to settle the score with Paul in the ring.
Cason said: “The beef was squashed a while ago, I really wanted to get in the ring over it. I wanted to but I guess it wasn’t smart for me to do it.
“My manager said, ‘Relax. Cool off on Jake, big opportunities are coming.’ Now I know why. So I relaxed over it and it paid off.”
Paul is now set to finally fight Fury, who has twice pulled out in the past amid injury and visa issues.
Cason was brought into camp to help prepare Paul to fight Fury last August, and backed his old training partner to win this time around.
He said: “Jake has a chin and also he’s relentless. I’ve got it going the full eight and Jake by decision.
“Because, Tommy doesn’t really show up in fights. He pitty pats, he doesn’t really get the knockout, not what he’s supposed to do.
“He’s an OK boxer but I think the pressure is going to get to him in this fight.”
