The entire pay-per view was scrapped due to a weight dispute between the two.

Each side has accused the other of being at fault. Rahman, however, released unheard sparring footage in Rahman's latest move.

The clip shows Hasim Sr, the son of a former heavyweight champion, controlling the action.

He hits a clean left hook, rocks Paul with a jab, and defends himself against most of the punches thrown at him.

Rahman captioned this post: "This boy puts forth what he wants, but he "beat me ass" during sparring.

"I told you all I had the training wheels with this goofy, the first chance he had to run away from this fight, he took it!"

"Now he's running @ksi, this boy never wanted to smoke."

Rahman, 31, has signed to fight at the 14st 4lb limit for 200lb cruiserweight, despite having lost 16 stone in his last fight in March.

The New York State Athletic Commission was able to track his cut, but later changed the fight weight from 205lb to 205lb.

Paul, then 25, claimed Rahman had refused to change his mind and that he would not scale less than 215lb. The MSG card was subsequently canceled.

Rahman, however, denied the claims and held a private weigh-in to prove that he can reach the 205lb limit.

He actually weighed 206.6lb at Gleason's Boxing Gym in New York. He said that he could even lose the initial 200lb weight.

Paul, however, seemed to be moving on and called his long-time rival KSI with just two weeks notice.

Alex Wassabi (32), was scheduled to face KSI on August 27, at the O2 Arena, London. However, the American was forced to withdraw after suffering a concussion.

Paul offered to fight KSI free of charge, but Swarmz, a rapper with no boxing experience, is his replacement.
