Jake Paul is once again back to playing mind games against his opponents. The YouTube boxer has yet again come up with a hilarious bet at the pre-fight press conference with new opponent Hasim Rahman Jr.
Jake Paul has finally silenced his haters about fighting non-boxing opponents in his boxing career. The Prblm Child has finally decided to step up his competition and fight a professional boxer for his next outing. The fighter is all set to take on the pro boxer, Hasim Rahman Jr in a professional bout held at the Madison Square Garden in August.
The pre-fight press conference for this SHOWTIME PPV fight. Jake was initially supposed to fight Tommy Fury but due to last-minute cancellations, 12-1 boxer Hasim Rahman was chosen to replace him. In the press conference, Hasim managed to hold his own on the microphone against the YouTube sensation. It was only a matter of time before Jake proposed a bet as he does on all of his fights.

“Alright let’s bet this. When I beat you, you’ve to change your Instagram name to ‘I let my dad down,'” said Jake as he set up this hilarious bet. Hasim, on the other hand, meant only business and replied with, “Jake, I’m not entertaining you.” You could tell the YouTuber was a little disappointed with Hasim for turning down his bet.
“I’ll change mine [Instagram name] to whatever you want if you beat me. But you have to change yours to ‘I let my dad down.’ He don’t wanna make the bet. He’s all tough, look at them big ol’ arms, look at them. He’s so big and strong. He’s gonna knock me out and I haven’t fought nobody but he won’t make the f**king bet. P**sy motherf**kers right here,” said Jake as he went off on a rant after Hasim refused to make the bet.
Despite being the “Prblm Child” in the boxing world, Jake has gotten a lot of praise from the fight community for actually picking a fighter that is a professional boxer. This is undoubtedly Jake’s biggest test in his career so far.
