Jake Paul‘s boxing match against Hasim Rahman Jr. has been cancelled, according to the Problem Child’s boxing promotion, after the 12-1 fighter allegedly failed to meet contractual obligations tied to his weight.
Paul vs. Rahman Jr. was set to go down August 6 at Madison Square Garden in NYC … but just one week before the highly anticipated scrap, Most Valuable Promotions announced the fight was off.
First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me.
I apologize to all of the of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https://t.co/0q6MxqG3XJ

It all has to do with the weight of Hasim, who previously fought at heavyweight, weighing more than 260 pounds. For the fight with Jake, Rahman Jr. agreed to weigh a maximum of 200 pounds at weigh-ins, the day before the fight.
However, MPV says Rahman Jr. was obligated to show the NY state athletic commission officials he was losing weight in the lead up to the fight, in an effort to prevent a big weight cut in an attempt to make 200 pounds.

Unfortunately, MVP says Hasim had lost less than one pound since signing the contract for the fight more than 3 weeks ago.
Due to this development, the athletic commission dictated the fight would be fought at 205 pounds instead. Paul — who weighed in at 190 pounds for his second fight with Woodley — says he agreed to the change.
But, MVP claims Rahman Jr. then demanded the match be fought at 215 pounds … a huge jump from the originally agreed upon 200 pounds.

That’s where Jake drew the line … and that’s why MVP says the fight isn’t happening.
“MVP and Jake Paul will not reward someone that has conducted themselves in such a deceiving and calculated manner. Therefore, MVP is left no choice but to cancel the August 6th event. This forced outcome impacts Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and every other fighter on this card who have trained tirelessly over the past few months for this event,” a statement released by the promotion said.
A few weeks ago we talked to Rahman Jr. … and he seemed to take issue with the weight cut.

Jake responded to the cancelation, saying … “First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me.”
“I apologize to all of the of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans.”
Of course, Hasim wasn’t Jake’s original opponent. That was supposed to be Tommy Fury … but Tyson’s bro pulled out over issues traveling to the U.S.
It’s unclear if Paul will now attempt to reschedule the fight with Tommy sometime in the near future.

Cocaine Bear Officiates Kentucky Wedding, Photos From The Big Day

2 lovers have officially become 1 with the help of a famous drug-sniffing black bear — and we’ve got the wedding day photos so you can bear witness to the special occasion.
TMZ broke the story, Kentucky natives Alexandra and Armando were set to say “I Do” Monday at the KY for KY Fun Mall in Lexington … and these pics from inside the venue show Cocaine Bear makin’ quite the impression as the ceremony kicks off.
C.B. even dressed up for the monumental occasion — swapping out his raccoon-skin headwear for a top hat … classy move, Pablo Escobear!
As we reported, the owner of the museum where the stuffed bear resides was all for the unorthodox ceremony — telling Roadside America, “As long as you feel that the person marrying you — like Cocaine Bear — has the authority, then that marriage can be binding here in Kentucky.”
BTW — looks like the flick of the same name was gettin’ some promotion on the big day … as you know, the 2023 movie is loosely based on that exact bear that died in 1985 after ingesting a BUNCH of cocaine dropped from a plane piloted by convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton.
Unclear if those in attendance got any nose powder as a gift, but we know someone in the crowd who would be all over the stuff… congrats, Alexandra and Armando!

The Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department says officers responded to a report of a stabbing just before 5:30 PM Saturday night less than 1.5 miles from the U.S. Capitol and found a person suffering from stab wounds.
Police say the victim, who Rand says works for him, was taken to the hospital in life-threatening condition.
MPD also says officers arrested a 42-year-old man named Glynn Neal in connection with the alleged attack, charging him with assault with intent to kill.
No word yet on motive, but Sen. Paul says he’s “relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested.”
