Jake Paul backflips on KSI boxing match plans: \u201cHe needs me more\u201d Instagram: KSI \/ Instagram: JakePaulWhile they were once at each other\u2019s throats, Jake Paul has confirmed he\u2019s no longer interested in pursuing a fight with British YouTube star KSI. When the trend of social media boxing started to emerge, KSI was the one leading the charge. His initial series with Logan Paul was among the first high-profile boxing crossovers that spawned various imitations in the years that followed. Since then, the older Paul brother has gone on to fight boxing\u2019s biggest name in Floyd Mayweather, while Jake Paul has secured knockout wins over athletes of many different backgrounds. The Paul brothers both appear to have their eyes set on bigger spectacles, and are evidently no longer interested in fighting other social media celebrities. As a result, Jake has revealed that he\u2019s no longer pursuing a fight with KSI, despite their earlier hostility. Looking past his upcoming match against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, Paul already has his sights set on a \u201clong list of opponents.\u201d From \u201cthe Fury\u2019s\u201d to \u201cthe McGregor\u2019s,\u201d the Diaz brothers, and even \u201cthe Canelo\u2019s,\u201d Paul is keeping his options open. \u201cI want all the smoke,\u201d he said in a recent Mike Majlak vlog. Majlak asked \u201cWhat about KSI?\u201d though, and Paul responded: \u201cI think I\u2019m done.\u201d While it was once a hot rivalry, as the younger Paul brother sought to avenge Logan\u2019s earlier loss to KSI, a fight now appears to be completely off the table. \u201cHe needs me more,\u201d Jake claimed. \u201cI\u2019m getting paid eight figures for fights and he\u2019s coming in and wants $3m-$4m. That was two to three years ago.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s afraid, let\u2019s be honest. He admitted it in his YouTube video that I\u2019m a better boxer.\u201d Despite their previous tension, Paul admitted he does still have \u201crespect\u201d for KSI. \u201cI wish him the best. He\u2019s killing it in music. [The idea of a fight] is just over.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
