Michael Bisping might hate the guts of YouTube sensation Jake Paul but the UFC legend finally has given the boxer his credit after he matches with professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr. for his next boxing match.

Jake Paul has really taken over the world of combat sports by a storm with his stint as a professional boxer. The fighter has a record of 5-0 in his career and has ruffled a lot of feathers every time he fights. Paul has called out nearly every big name from UFC to fight him inside the boxing ring Michael Bisping is one of many UFC stars who Paul believes he can beat in a boxing match.

After a lot of back and forth between the two fighters, Michael has finally decided to give Jake the credit that is due. Jake’s biggest criticism in his career so far has been that he has not faced a professional boxer. Jake has victories over two former MMA world champions, a retired basketball player, and a fellow YouTuber. According to Michael, that record does not have any credibility to prove Jake is a “real” boxer.

“Credit where credit’s due. Jake Paul finally fighting a proper opponent,” wrote Michael in his recent tweet. Bisping is really looking forward to seeing if Jake can beat a boxer like Hasim Rahman Jr. who has a record of 12-1 as a professional boxer. The fighter also has 6 KOs out of his 12 wins.

Jake was initially booked to fight Tommy Fury after his original fight got canceled last year. The American YouTuber was supposed to take on the British boxer on August 6th at the Madison Square Garden. However, once against Fury has pulled out of the fight over travel permits. After Tommy pulled out, Hasim has been chosen to replace the UK boxer in the Madison Square Garden fight.

This is going to be Jake’s first real test. Though, it is worth mentioning that Hasim is no stranger to Jake. The two have previously sparred before and also got into a quarrel.
