Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen thinks YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul should go ahead with the fight event at Madison Square Garden.
Paul was scheduled to fight Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6 in New York. However, the bout was canceled after 'The Problem Child's' management claimed that Rahman Jr. was having weight-cutting issues.
Sonnen believes that Paul should proceed with the event anyway despite not having an opponent. 'The American Gangster' feels that by turning up to the event, the 25-year-old will be doing something different in the world of boxing:
"He's [Paul] in a position where he is something else and he can do something else... He's changed all sorts of things. Keep going, Jake. You haven't got one wrong yet. Play your music, walk out there with your trunks, play his [Rahman Jr.] music, he doesn't walk out there, accept the forfeit, grab the microphone, be a boss. Takeover. Do something different... That would be my advice."

Sean O'Malley expressed his disappointment at Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. getting canceled
One person who was really looking forward to the boxing match between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. was UFC's rising star Sean O'Malley.
In a recent episode of The BrO'Malley Show on YouTube, 'Sugar' talked about the fight cancelation and shared his disappointment regarding the same. O'Malley said that he was more excited about that fight than the UFC event happening on the same weekend:
"Jake Paul versus Rahman Jr.... It's not happening, some f***ing crazy sh**. This was supposed to be this weekend, August 6th and supposedly top Rahman couldn't make weight at 200 pounds... That sucks, I was kind of excited, I was definitely more excited about that than the UFC this weekend."
