Following a loss to the hands of Tommy Fury in October 2023, KSI has been gearing up to get back into the ring ever since. The Prime co-founder has eyed up a rematch with Tommy Fury, a mega-fight with Jake Paul, and even a bout with the likes of UFC star Conor McGregor. However, it looks like we\u2019ll be seeing him touch gloves with a former boxing champion. After Mike Tyson suffered a recent medical emergency, his fight with Jake Paul has been left up in the air, which has lead to the YouTuber clashing with long-time rival KSI online. With the two firing shots at each other, Paul suggested that KSI may be stepping into the ring with Amir Khan after the British YouTuber revealed he has a fight lined up for August. Surprisingly, Khan didn\u2019t keep quiet, responding to \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 in a repost on Twitter\/X further suggesting that he will be going blow-for-blow with KSI \u2014 and then Jake\u2019s next on the list. \u201cIf he dies he dies,\u201d the retired boxer wrote. \u201cThen f**k @JakePaul up.\u201d \u201cYou will kill the forehead if you actually take it serious,\u201d Paul hit back. \u201cThen we can run it in February and I\u2019m going to splatter you like Prescott.\u201d Khan took a step back from boxing in 2022 after testing for the performance-enhancing drug Ostarine. The 38-year-old, who held light-welterweight world championships between 2009 and 2012, was slammed with a two-year suspension, which lasted till April 2024. Still, fans want to see KSI and Jake Paul finally cross paths. But, negotiations are proving to be difficult, with the two sides unable to agree on terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI potentially facing retired boxing world champion in next fight DAZN \/ WassermanYouTube star turned boxer, KSI, may be stepping into the ring with retired boxing world champion Amir Khan in his next bout.
