Last night, in Austin, Texas, novice boxer Greg Hardy scored an upset win over Hasim Rahman Junior. The 320 pound former NFL player who has won seven MMA fights, dropped Rahman in round two and won a four round unanimous decision.
Whoever said pay-per-view was on its way out? The mere fact that the August 6 fight between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr is going out as a PPV offering can be looked at as a (bad) sign that PPV fight cards will not be going anywhere anytime soon.
Jake Paul is getting a good deal of respect for agreeing to face a legit fighter in Hasim Rahman Junior in his next fight, the fight set as you know for August 6, a pay-per-view offering (the fight to take place inside the hallowed confines of Madison Square Garden, no less).
Due to his troubles getting into America, Tommy Fury will not be fighting Jake Paul. This is the second time the fight between the two trash-talkers has fallen through; the first time the fight failed to happen due to illness on the part of Fury, and now Fury simply cannot get into the country.
“For the first time in boxing history, two sons of former heavyweight champions will collide to see who takes the next step forward,” read the blurb attached to the fight poster for last night’s clash between McKenzie Morrison and Hasim Rahmam Jr.
What a fight it would have been if Hasim Rahman and Tommy Morrison had hooked up! Well, they didn’t, but their sons are going to clash – on April 29 in Las Vegas.
On April 29th in Las Vegas, two sons of former world heavyweight champions will collide. Hasim Rahman Jr and McKenzie Morrison will shoot it out in a “next generation” affair.
