Jake Paul takes swipe at KSI over long-standing fight bet that still hasn\u2019t happened KSI \/ Jake PaulJake Paul has taken a swipe at KSI over a long-standing claim about their highly-anticipated super fight as he looked back at his pro boxing debut. The YouTube boxing revolution really took off when the Paul brothers \u2013 Jake and Logan \u2013 took on the Olatunji brothers \u2013 KSI and Deji \u2013 back in 2018. Jake comfortably beat Deji and KSI eventually beat Logan in their rematch over a year later in November 2019. That seemed to set Jake and KSI on an eventual collision course to figure out who\u2019d take overall bragging rights. However, it\u2019s been four years, and despite a lot of chat about it happening, we\u2019re no closer to seeing the longtime rivals in the ring against each other. While Jake has agreed to fight Ryan Bourland on March 2, he has still found time to take a swipe at KSI as he looks back on his professional debut \u2013 which also happened in 2019. Jake Paul takes dig at KSI over long-standing claim for fight Jake\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions brand celebrated the fact that he\u2019d first stepped into the ring for a professional fight against AnEsonGib on January 30, 2019. \u201c4 years ago today Jake Paul fought and KO\u2019d Gib in the first round. KSI had said Gib would KO Jake,\u201d Jake\u2019s promotion brand tweeted before reminding the Brit on his pre-fight wager that appears to still be standing. \u201cHe had also said if Jake beats Gib, he would agree to fight Jake. 4 years later. 185 and we have a fight.\u201d The weight at which their fight would take place has been a bit of a sticking point in negotiations, given that Jake usually fights at around 200 lbs and KSI has been at 183 lbs. Such a big weight difference should lead to a catchweight fight, but neither of the YouTube stars will want to give up too much to their rival. So, it remains to be seen if it\u2019ll happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
