Re: Jake Paul v Hassim Rahman Jnr
KSI and Jake Paul are going at each other once again on social media ahead of their individual fights next month against Hasim Rahman Jr (Jake Paul) and Alex Wassabi (KSI).
August is gearing up to be a huge month for boxing fans as not only do we have those two stars stepping foot in the ring once again, but we also have Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua 2.
All three events are going to be on pay-per-view, with the pricing already getting people talking, with KSI and Jake Paul having words on Twitter about the cost.
Paul is now taking on 12-1 professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr after Tommy Fury pulled out of the fight due to restrictions preventing him from travelling to America.
Rahman Jr stepped in at short notice to ensure Paul has a fight on the night, keeping the event going ahead and giving us a huge fight to still soak in on August 6 at Madison Square Garden.
It’s certainly a good test to see where Paul is in his boxing career and ability, going up against a professional fighter who has only lost the one fight to date.
KSI is taking on fellow YouTuber Wassabi on August 27 at the O2 Arena in London, it may not be as big of a clash as Paul’s with no professional fights on the undercard either, but it’s surely going to be a sell-out given the size of the YouTubers.
For the three professional fights at MSG, Paul and his team are charging a huge $59.99 to watch the clash on pay-per-view, with KSI slamming his rival for the pricing, saying: “$60 PPV. I PROMISE you all that my PPV this August 27th will be less than that.”
In response, Paul wasn’t holding back how he felt, quoting KSI’s tweet and putting: “No s**t dummy. You have one ‘win.’ I have five. Coming off KO of the year. You’re fighting an influencer. I’m fighting a 12-1 legit boxer. We are not the same. You shouldn’t charge more than $10.”
In fairness to Paul, the difference in undercards and main event fights is huge in terms of actual boxing. If you’re wanting to watch high level fights with genuine fighters then there’s only one place to be.
This all adds to the hope that Paul and KSI will step in the ring against each other to finally settle their long standing feud.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
