In 2019, KSI faced off against Logan Paul, another popular YouTuber. The fight, which took place at the Staples Center, saw him triumph over Logan on a split decision. It took KSI a long time before he entered the ring as a professional boxer once more. He won consecutive fights over Luis Alcaraz Pineda and Brandon Scott on August 27, 2022, after a three-year gap.
The main match of Misfits Boxing 4 took place at Wembley Arena in London, with the British boxer facing off against another YouTube sensation known as FaZe Temperrr instead of Dillon Danis. After Faze was defeated, the discussion centred on KSI’s following adversary. The British boxer notably identified his opponent Jake Paul as someone he wishes to fight when the names of some of his future boxing opponents were revealed.
Jake Paul has accepted KSI’s challenge but with conditions!
After weeks of back-and-forth on Twitter, Jake eventually agreed to take on KSI’s challenge to fight, but only under the terms that the victor would get all the cash and the loser would get nothing. Jake was rebuked by KSI for imposing such a term, and KSI vowed to win the war and leave Jake with nothing in return. “You complied with my demands, and now you want to give me additional funds as well? You’ve got a bargain, you moron,” tweeted KSI.
Jake Paul immediately responded to KSI, saying, “Yeah, I gave into your ‘demands’ to try and give you an advantage so you’d actually agree to fight me. I just signed a deal with PFL to start my MMA professional career. Zero again for the loser. Not you and your phoney promotion.”
Despite the fact that based on their tweets it appears as though the two YouTubers have verbally agreed to something. However, we know nothing is finalized until and unless a contract is signed with a date and venue only known afterwards.
Hmmm, should I:
A – Fight a tired Tyron Woodley that hasn’t won a single boxing fight and got knocked out by Jake Paul by standing still?
B – Fight A pro boxer with a better boxing record than Tommy Fury? https://t.co/rq5PlpUqza
