Jake Paul's confession:

Hasim Rahman Jr. has a 12-1 record. However, the boxer-influencer said he has the courage and the team to earn the victory.

"I've wanted this fight ever since Hasim ran his big mouth to me two years ago in the gym," Jake Paul posted on Instagram.

"My brother and manager didn't want me to take this fight. They said it was too much risk," Paul continued.

"The New York state athletic commission didn't want to approve this fight because they said Hasim had too much experience for me. He has over 100 amateur fights. 10x more than Tommy (Fury)."

"But I'm built different. I'm psychotic. CHAOTIC. PROBLEMATIC," the post continued.

"I'm not afraid of any man or what "can" happen. No boxer has taken this big of a risk this early in their career. They don't have my heart, they don't have my soul, they don't have my drive, and they definitely don't have my team. Welcome to history. Take a picture."
