JAKE PAUL laughed that he's a bit rusty from promoting his past fights in a comedy clip posted to social media.
After Tommy Fury's withdrawal, the 25-year old will now face Hasim Rahman Jr.
Paul claimed he had hurt his back while promoting his fights
Julia Rose, his girlfriend, pretended to be his nurse during the clip.
Paul, who has fought AnEsonGib and Nate Robinson twice, Tyron Woodley once, and took aim at his opponents because they failed to promote their bouts.
He did this by making a fun video in which he pretends to have broken his back while wearing hospital clothes.
He lied on a bed and said, "So guys. I'm at the hospital. He had an accident.
"I can still fight August 6th, so make sure you get your tickets at www.msg.com before they go out.
"But I broke the back... carrying the promo for this event!" Nurse! Nurse! "More morphine!"
Julia Rose, Jake's girlfriend, arrives dressed as a nurse.
Paul adds, "I broke my spine carrying the last five fights promotion. My opponents never sell s ***.
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! They wouldn't be able to sell a pen or a pencil to a writer!
Rahman Jr. signed to fight Paul with a month's notice at 200lb cruiserweight limit.
The American must lose almost TWO TONS since he weighed 224lb last April before he can reach the scales on Aug 5.
Paul also added a clause requiring Rahman to hydrate so that Rahman can not exceed 215 lbs during a second-day weight-in.
As he strives to reach 6-0 in his boxing career, this is likely to be a positive outcome.
Rahman Jr. boasts a record of 12 wins, one loss and a professional record after being stopped in April by James Morrison.
