KSI wants to fight Jake Paul \u201cthis year\u201d as boxing match looks more likely than ever YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Jake PaulMisfits promoter Kalle Sauerland claims KSI is hoping to face off with Jake Paul \u201cthis year\u201d after years of beef between the two influencer-boxers. There are no two bigger rivals in the world of influencer-boxing than YouTube stars KSI and Jake Paul. Following KSI\u2019s victory over Logan in their 2018 rematch, Jake has been vying for a chance at getting revenge for his big brother\u2026 and KSI has made no bones about his dislike for his business partner\u2019s little sibling. The two have been feuding online for years, making offers and posturing via social media. However, nothing concrete has ever come about, with both creators accusing the other of \u201cducking\u201d a match. Now things are looking more likely than ever, as per a statement from a source close to KSI. KSI wants to box Jake Paul in 2024 Despite KSI\u2019s claims of retiring in 2024, he\u2019s intent on getting back in the ring this year \u2014 and Misfits Boxing promoter Kalle Sauerland says he\u2019s got his sights set on Jake. \u201c[Slim] is always calling out KSI, of course, who\u2019s back in the gym and working out,\u201d Sauerland said in a February 26 interview with Fred Talks Fighting. \u201cHe\u2019s made it very public he wants Jake Paul this year.\u201d (Topic begins at 27:19) While Sauerland\u2019s comment was quite vague and could have been referencing Slim (who has notably called out KSI on his YouTube channel over the past few months), Fred Talks Fighting retweeted a post from Happy Punch saying KSI was hoping to face off with Jake in 2024. That\u2019s not all; Sauerland even says that he wants the two to face off in the Las Vegas Sphere for a true spectacle \u2014 a venue that seats over 17,000 people. For now, it\u2019s still unclear if these two will ever actually fight, given that they\u2019ve had beef for years with nothing to show for it. At the moment, Jake is gearing up for his next fight against former Gold Gloves champion Ryan Bourland on March 2 in his quest for boxing world domination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
