Rahman Jr. stepped in on relatively short notice to fight the YouTuber after Tommy Fury pulled out. However, the event seemed jinxed altogether after Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) alleged that Rahman Jr. was not going to make the contracted weight for the bout. As per Rahman Jr., he would've gone down to the agreed-upon 200-pound threshold had Paul's team not panicked and pulled the plug in a hurry. In an interview with Dylan James Bowker's podcast, Rahman Jr. claimed: "It was personal to me because they just didn't give me the chance. It's like, it was my chance to show them I could've made the weight. If they wouldn't have panicked and cut it short early. I would've definitely made the weight."
