Fans have been dreaming of a Jake Paul and KSI fight for several years, but the battle of the YouTubers may never unfold.
The influencers have been wrapped in a feud since the Brit beat Logan Paul—Jake’s brother—five years ago. Since then, the pair have teased a fight in the ring but, unfortunately for those anticipating good news, some damning comments have surfaced.
Following his less-than-impressive performance against Mike Tyson, Jake Paul has been the center of attention. Paul’s rise in the sport has painted a target on his back for many, with elite-caliber champions calling him out.
Social media sensation KSI is one man who believes a fight between the two will never come to fruition. Firstly, ‘JJ’ gave his opinion on the recent Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson clash.
“The money was good for Jake and Mike,” KSI said. “I guess we felt hard done by.”
“It’s a shame because I guess a lot of people that watched the fight don’t really watch boxing. So, they probably thought the 58-year-old Mike Tyson was going to be the 18/19-year-old Mike Tyson that they saw back in the day…”
“He’s an old man and he had no right to be in the ring. And Jake Paul is in his prime… I thought it was just, the whole thing was embarrassing.”

“Especially [the fact] Jake took the fight, but it’s Jake. Jake doesn’t give a sh*t. He has no shame… He’s just going to try and fight the easiest people and make himself look like he’s the f***ing best when he really is just a piece of sh*t.”
Despite arguably being the biggest matchup in influencer boxing history—likely capable of setting groundbreaking records in the sport—’JJ’ expects never to share the ring with Paul.
“I don’t think [we’ll ever fight]. It is sad. It is very sad.”
