HASIM RAHMAN JR has teamed with Jake Paul's rival KSI in order to headline one of the YouTubers' cards against Vitor Belfort.
Paul signed the American to fight him on August 6, but there was a weight dispute between them that led to the bout's collapse.

Instead, Rahman will be back in Sheffield on October 15 against Vitor Belfort, ex-UFC champion.
The MisFits boxing card will feature the fight - KSI's promotional banner – on DAZN pay per view.
Rahman, 31 years old, has not fought since April when he was defeated by McKenzie Morrison (32), the son of ex-heavyweight champion Tommy.
Belfort (44), is a former champion of the UFC, but has not returned in MMA since 2018.
In a shameful exhibition fight, Evander Holyfield (59), was defeated by the Brazilian.
Rahman initially signed to fight Paul at 200lb cruiserweight, which meant he had TWO STONE to lose.
However, the New York State Athletic Commission changed the weight to 295 lb.
Paul claimed Rahman was unwilling to weigh in at 215lb. However, this accusation was disproved.
Hasim Sr, the son of heavyweight legend Hasim Sr, weighed in at 206.6lb in spite of the fight cancellation in a bid for him to prove that he can make it.
Paul instead signed his next fight with an opponent yet unknown for October.
Rahman will also welcome Belfort into the boxing ring.
