HASIM RAHMAN JR has vowed to "seriously hurt" Jake Paul in their grudge match.
The son of former heavyweight champ Hasim Sr will bid to hand the YouTuber turned boxer his first professional loss at Madison Square Garden next month.
Rahman Jr knows Paul all too well thanks to a heated sparring session 18 months ago and has promised to "punish" him for the disrespect he's shown him.
The 31-year-old said: “He’s gonna get seriously hurt, he’s gonna get seriously hurt in this fight.
Gold Blooded told FightHub TV: "I’m gonna hurt this man and all the stuff he’s been saying is just fuel to the fire.
"He picked the wrong person and like I said, I’m gonna punish him on August 6th.
