Oops! Rahman hosts ‘official’ weigh-in to make a point on cancelled Jake Paul bout; misses weight

Saturday night was supposed to feature the Hasim Rahman Jr. vs. Jake Paul boxing match at Madison Square Garden. But as we all know, that bout has been called off after Rahman’s weight issues and a lot of back-and-forth about the 205-pound limit.

In an attempt to clear his name and prove a point, Rahman Jr. stepped on the scales on Friday night, the day of their scheduled weigh-ins. He decided to stage his own weigh-ins at Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn to show that he could make the 205-pound mark.

Unfortunately for him, his attempts turned out to be futile.
