Logan Paul commends Hasim Rahman Jr. for facing near-100lbs heavier Greg Hardy at Misfits Boxing 3

Despite the history with his brother, Logan Paul had nice words to say about Hasim Rahman Jr. after the latter's loss to Greg Hardy on Saturday night. A former NFL star and UFC heavyweight fighter, Hardy picked up the decision against Rahman Jr. at KSI's Misfits Boxing x DAZN Series 3.

Paul, who is also KSI's business partner, was in the crowd for the boxing extravaganza. After the event, he took to Twitter to commend Rahman Jr. for showing "real strength." He also congratulated Deen the Great for his victory over Walid Sharks and KSI for putting up an entertaining event:

"These MISFITS X DAZN fights are incredibly entertaining. Hasim showed real strength tonight and Deen the great with an amazing comeback. Congrats on another great event @KSI"

The YouTuber was possibly referring to Rahman Jr. taking on an opponent who was nearly 100lbs heavier than him. Hardy outweighed Rahman Jr. by 94lbs according to their official weights.

What happened between Logan Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr.?

​

Not too long ago, Logan Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. were exchanging barbs on Twitter over the cancelation of Rahman Jr.'s fight with Jake Paul.

Rahman Jr. stepped in for Tommy Fury and was set to fight Jake Paul a few months ago, but the bout got canceled due to weight controversy. Interestingly, Rahman Jr. denied rumors that he was the reason the fight fell through.

Jake tried to fight two boxers this year on separate occasions (Tommy Fury, 23 years old, 8-0, AND Hasim Rahman JR, 31 year old, 12-1) and they BOTH BACKED OUT.

A combat legend was the only one willing to take the challenge. Shut the fuck up twitter.com/Loctioo/status…

Logan Paul fired back, coming to his younger brother's defense, and labeled Rahman Jr. an "unprofessional failure."

@_HasimRahmanJr I weigh the same as Jake. The same weight you couldn’t make & quit at.

You’re an unprofessional failure. Consider yourself lucky I even looked in your direction 🤡

Paul also accused Rahman Jr. of using his brother for clout.

Not many knew Rahman Jr.'s name before he signed the contract to fight Paul. After the fight got canceled, he landed a bout with combat sports legend Vitor Belfort almost immediately, who was replaced by Hardy for the final matchup:

In an interview with The Schmo, this is what the older Paul had to say regarding Rahaman Jr.:

"Hasim, that m***erf***er played everyone. Like actually a brilliant move to suck the clout out of Jake's d**k and use it to make a little bit of a career for himself and pivot into his next fight. I have never seen anything like it."

However, it seems like the hatchet is buried with a recent show of respect from Paul. Rahman Jr. is yet to extend an olive branch at the time of writing this article.
