The beef between KSI and Jake Paul is getting worse, and analyst Wade Plem is now involved. Boxing is still a never-ending source of drama
After Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury, another YouTuber-turned-boxer is making headlines less than a month later. After challenging Jake Paul to a match, KSI, renowned as a co-creator of the Sidemen, has also become entangled in what seems to be an endless feud with Jake Paul.
Boxing analyst Wade Plemons, also known as Wade Plem, has now been included in the drama. Below is a summary of the interactions between Paul, KSI, and Plem.
KSI and Wade Plem drama controversy explained as scandal between the two goes viral on Twitter
KSI describes wade Plem as “fake.”
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury were both challenged by KSI to a match shortly after Jake Paul’s defeat against the Love Island star last month. Wade Plem, a commentator who has hosted on KSI’s Misfits Boxing channel, offended KSI with remarks he made on his podcast, The WADE Idea. Plem promoted the probable Paul v. Fury rematch by saying that it would result in more pay-per-view (PPV) purchases than Paul v. KSI.
“This individual presents himself as an expert in boxing. Plem “doesn’t know s***,” wrote KSI in a tweet. You are not that person. I’m shocked that Sharky allowed this snake into my box. F*** off.” After that, KSI vented more on Twitter, saying, “This Wade guy plays all sides. attempting to win over everyone. You are gosh so false. You two-faced ****, f*** you and everything you stand for. Wade, you’re a man.”
The tweets were later removed. As an alternative, KSI issued a succinct explanation regarding his Twitter “outburst.” “To you, it may seem like an overreaction, but to me, it represents a lot of things building up behind the scenes,” KSI wrote.
Mams Taylor is the most unprofessional manager in the whole YouTube Boxing scene.
KSI needs to do the whole YouTube Boxing scene a favour and fire Mams.

To you it’s an overreaction but to me it’s a build up of a lot of things behind the scenes.
You can have a public opinion but don’t come to me on a switch up when you see me in person.
Sorry for my outburst but I’m human, I’m gonna get angry sometimes.

Even notorious Twitter agitator Jake Paul raised an eyebrow at KSI’s remarks regarding Wade Plem. “These clowns are so insecure,” Paul tweeted. “Wade is top-notch. down the middle; plays it. I don’t like what he says about me, but it just means he’s being honest about his views. I’ll now return to my holiday.” But KSI immediately countered with receipts. Paul recently asked people to “get rid of everyone that plays both sides” in a tweet, which The Sidemen star rediscovered.

KSI explains the vision of tag team boxing
When KSI was questioned about Wade Plem’s alleged actions beyond commenting on the Paul v. Fury 2 match, Plem’s remarks about tag team boxing came up. He initially expressed public hostility towards tag team boxing, but secretly liked the concept, according to KSI. He essentially only says and does what the public wants to hear.
Tag team boxing was officially introduced this month by KSI’s Misfits Boxing. The first tag team match in boxing history took place on Saturday, March 4. The Telford International Centre served as the venue for MF & DAZN: X Series 005. Ice Poseidon and Anthony Vargas squared off against Luis Alcarez Pineda and BDave.
Wade Plem bashes out KSI.
Wade Plem provided his own commentary on KSI’s remarks soon after his Twitter “outburst” was made public. Plem said in a tweet, “My ideas around the tag team idea was never ‘Hate’.” “I needed to watch it happen (sic) since I was worried about the regulations and safety of it.”
Plem goes on to say that after his misgivings about the tag team notion were proven to be unfounded, he changed his mind. “Behind the scenes,” I said the same thing. I’m not sure where JJ [KSI] is getting this.
Plem went on to say that despite upsetting “some feathers at Misfits [Boxing],” he has remained true to himself both online and in real life. Plem tweeted at KSI, “My ideas about a possible fight don’t reflect my opinion of you as a person or a fight. “I’ve always admired you for being both.”
I understand I ruffle some feathers at misfits with my takes on things, but I don't and have never switched up on you in person or online. My opinions of a potential fight don't reflect my opinion of you as a person or a fighter. I've always respected you as both https://t.co/dTPsmVMc1E
