Jake Paul calls out KSI over boxing match against IShowSpeed Instagram: ksi \/ Instagram: jakepaulJake Paul has called out \u2018KSI\u2019 over his broadcast of a sparring match against IShowSpeed, accusing him of trying to \u201churt DAZN viewership\u201d during his own fight. With more and more influencers turning to the boxing ring, it should come as no surprise that old feuds have brought about an influx of fresh drama to the sport. Most recently, Jake Paul called out his potential upcoming opponent and the business partner of his brother, KSI. Paul and KSI have long been throwing insults at one another and hinting at a face-off in the ring after years of animosity. Now, this latest turn of events has seen KSI accused of trying to \u201churt\u201d sporting platform DAZN\u2019s viewership. The drama began with a tweet from Kick streamer \u2018DeenTheGreat\u2018 that read, \u201cCrazy how I\u2019m sparring on Adin\u2019s stream on the 16th with Adam, not getting paid for it, and Misfits is threatening to sue me. See y\u2019all on the 16th.\u201d \u201cNagh man. That can\u2019t be right\u2026didn\u2019t the forehead spar Speed on a stream and try to hurt DAZN viewership?\u201d Paul responded, dubbing KSI as simply \u201cthe forehead.\u201d The tweet was in reference to KSI\u2019s sparring match with streamer and YouTuber \u2018IShowSpeed,\u2019 which copped flack for occurring on the same day as Paul\u2019s fight against Andre August. KSI also happens to be the founder and CEO of Misfits Boxing, with the potential lawsuit threatened against DeenTheGreat being enough to push Paul to speak up. While neither KSI nor Misfits Boxing have yet responded to Paul\u2019s tweet, many X users chimed in on the matter. \u201cYou refused to promote the Prime Card on your fight with Nate Diaz, which was YOUR BROTHER\u2019S CARD. Not only did that affect DAZN viewership but [it] also affected your brother, making people think Dillon harassing his fiance [was] the reason it did so well,\u201d one person wrote in defense of KSI. \u201cKSI sparred speed for charity. He wasn\u2019t acting as if it was a real fight, like Deen and Adin are doing. And also, what promotion was KSI Vs Speed on?\u201d Another person said, \u201cThat\u2019s literally not the same thing. [People] can watch both at the same time. But when you fight on one promotion and then just randomly go fight on an upcoming rival one that\u2019s f***** up. And KSI are like mortal enemies.\u201d Nonetheless, DeenTheGreat appeared grateful for Paul\u2019s input, replying to the call out with a hugging gif.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
