Jake Paul Challenged By Osundairo Bro, Ready To Fill In For Rahman Jr.

Hasim Rahman Jr. out — Bola Osundairo in … vs. Jake Paul?!
If one of the brothers who assisted Jussie Smollett in his hate crime hoax gets his way, that’s exactly what’ll happen … ’cause Bola tells TMZ Sports he’s ready to fight Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, as was originally scheduled.
“Do not cancel that fight Jake Paul. Fight me instead. I am ready to fight this Saturday,” 28-year-old Bola said Monday afternoon.

The 2-0 pro fighter (who also had several amateur fights) tells us he’s a superior fighter to both boxers Jake was set to scrap with August 6.
“I’m ready to fight. I’m better than Hasim Rahman Jr., or Tommy Fury. I’m actually ranked higher than Tommy Fury and he has 8 pro fights, and I have 2 pro fights. He’s ranked 340, I’m ranked 193.”
23-year-old Fury — Jake’s original opponent — dropped out of their fight after having Visa issues, leaving him unable to reach the U.S.
Of course, Bola was one of the two brothers who assisted Jussie in his hoax attack … before cooperating with authorities. Smollett was ultimately convicted of 5 felonies.
In ways, the fight makes more sense than Rahman Jr., who’s significantly bigger than Jake (Hasim previously fought weighing over 260 pounds). The fight fell apart over weight issues … the 12-1 boxer wasn’t going to be able to make 200 pounds, as was contractually obligated.

Bola is 6’1″, 188 pounds … virtually identical to the 6’1″, 190 pounds that Paul weighs.
And, Osundairo says he’s more well-known than Rahman Jr. … so it’d be an even bigger draw.
“People know me. People know of me. I’m one of the Nigerian brothers involved in the Jussie case, the Jussie Smollett case. So it will sell, this fight will sell. People know me more than Hasim Rahman Jr. Nobody knows him outside of boxing.”
Bola ended with a shot at Jake (and Jussie).
“This will be a real fight. This won’t be like the Jussie Smollett fight. This will be a real actual beatdown, Jake Paul. So after I beat you up your name’s gonna change to Jackie Paulette.”

A wild shootout at a New Mexico motorcycle rally left at least 3 people dead and 5 injured … and TMZ has obtained video of the violence erupting.
Check out the footage, which shows a woman walking behind a pick-up truck standing in traffic and carefully peering around the side of it.
Suddenly, she turns around and moves swiftly away, crossing the road. She then breaks into a trot when the crackle of gunfire is heard nearby. A motorist repeatedly yells to her, “Get out of the way!”
In another clip, people inside a vehicle are filming the aftermath of the Saturday shooting at the Red River Memorial Day Motorcycle Rally. A rescue truck with lights flashing can be seen parked outside a building as bikers ride down the street.
Red River Mayor Linda Calhoun told NBC News … “I can confirm 3 dead and 5 injured. One person died at the hospital.”

New Mexico State Police said the 5 wounded were being treated at hospitals, but their conditions and the extent of their injuries were not disclosed.
Calhoun said motorcycle gang members were involved in the bloodshed, which ended with several arrests. Upwards of 28,000 bikers attended the rally.
State police did not provide a motive or an official account of what happened … saying only they had secured the scene and there was no longer a threat.

Hulk Hogan Says Billy Graham Shaped His Career, I Wanted To Be Like Him!

Hulk Hogan will never forget the impact pro wrestling legend Billy Graham had on his life, saying Graham’s influence on his career is one of the main reasons he became one of the greatest icons in WWE history!
Hogan reflected on his relationship with Billy after the 79-year-old wrestling legend died last week, recalling how he would take his father to watch Billy’s matches … and was captivated by BG’s larger-than-life personality on the microphone and stellar physique.
“I want to be just like him,” Hulk used to tell his dad, referring to Graham, as he watched in awe whenever “Superstar” would flex his biceps at events.
Hogan says he modeled his career after Graham, a former WWE Champion, and WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, aka “The American Dream.”
“I stole a little bit from each of them,” Hogan told Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” TV show (airs weekdays on FS1).
Hogan said he and Billy became good friends over the years and shared a full circle moment … telling a story of how Graham came to watch him in the main event at Madison Square Garden after years of watching Billy headline shows.
“We just bonded and just got along great,” Hogan said.
One of Hogan’s career highlights was when he joined forces with Graham, a moment The Hulkster appreciates all these years later when he reflects on his wrestling legacy.
“When we were in Atlanta working for Ted Turner,” Hogan said. “They teamed us up. We looked like brothers. He was in prime shape. I was in prime shape. We had the same balding hairline. It was amazing.”
