On just over a month’s notice, YouTuber Jake Paul has a new opponent for his upcoming boxing match at Madison Square Garden.
Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) had been previously linked to a cruiserweight battle against Tommy Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) on the Aug. 6 pay-per-view boxing event in New York. In June, however, Fury found that he was not allowed to enter the U.S. due to his ties to notorious crime boss Daniel Kinahan and the Kinahan Cartel, and he has been forced out of the fight for these reasons. In his stead, according to ESPN on Thursday, will be Hasim Rahman Jr.
