I was interested to watch Tommy Fury fight Jake Paul, but it’s hard to get too excited about this matchup. I didn’t even know who this opponent was before the fight was booked.
Sure, Rahman has a nice record, but the last guy he beat has a career record of 7-19. That’s hardly impressive.

Do I want to watch Rahman knock out Jake Paul and put an end to his comical boxing career? Sure, but even if he loses, it won’t mean anything to me or most other people.
Until Jake Paul straps on the gloves against a legit fighter, none of his wins mean anything. He’s literally fighting old MMA stars or people most fans have never heard of.
Am I supposed to be impressed? I’m most definitely not!
