Hasim Rahman Jr vs Greg Hardy fight time tonight

Hasim Rahman Jr makes his long-awaited return to the ring after his proposed bout with Jake Paul was cancelled just days before their fight. He faces ex-UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy on the KSI-backed DAZN X Series 3 card presented by Misfits Boxing.

The son of a legend was initially set to square off against former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort. However, on Monday it was announced that the Brazilian striker had fallen ill and was out of the contest. As a result, Hardy was brought in to save the card on short notice.

This will be his second professional boxing bout after making a successful debut against Michael Cook last month. Meanwhile, Rahman Jr is 12-1 as a pro with his first and only loss coming in his last fight against Tommy Morrison’s son James Mckenzie Morrison.

How do I watch? / What time is it on?

Rahman Jr and Hardy will make their ring walks at around 4am UK time in the early hours of Sunday morning. The fight will be broadcast live on DAZN – the streaming service costs £7.99 per month.

It can be streamed via the DAZN app and can be viewed on smart TVs, game consoles, connected devices, mobile, tablets and computers.

Quotes

Hasim Rahman Jr: “I have a new replacement opponent Greg “P.O.W.” Hardy. Super Heavyweight, Power Puncher. Yo Hardy just make sure you don’t weigh more than one to five pounds heavier than me or else I am gonna be too scared and cancel. Joking. Real fighters fight.

” Jake Paul wanted me to come down to 200lbs, the commission forced him to give me an extra five pounds and it wouldn’t be safe in my camp’s eyes or my eyes to go as low as they wanted me to go. “They wouldn’t budge.

“They never really wanted to make a fight, or at least a fair fight. I don’t think he really wants to be in the ring with me, not in a fair competitive fight. I’ve definitely moved on, I’m not holding on to that.”

Greg Hardy: “I’m excited, man, this is my chance to show that I belong in the boxing world. I know plenty about the Rahman name as boxers, and I know he was preparing for Vitor, but I’m definitely confident and prepared to show people I can box.”
