The rapper claimed people are “afraid” to face the YouTuber-turned-boxer in the ring.
The bout would have represented Paul’s first against a professional boxer since he started his career.
It’s also the second time the scheduled bout was forced to change plans. Paul originally had been scheduled to fight Tommy Fury, but had to pivot after Fury, a UK citizen, was denied entry to the US. Paul, who is currently 5-0 in boxing, recently had a string of bouts that have all been canceled for one reason or another.That led to Rahman, with whom Paul had previously sparred, taking the fight on short notice.“He’s said he’s gonna beat my ass, he’s calling me a YouTuber, he says I’m not gonna make it far in professional boxing. There’s beef there. This is personal. I’ve always wanted this fight since we had that sparring session, since he disrespected me.
