Jake Paul claims KSI is scared to fight him YouTube: Jake Paul \/ JJ OlatunjiYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul has claimed that rival creator KSI is too chicken to throw down with him in the ring after inciting a beef with the British rapper in early 2020. The rivalry between Jake Paul and KSI goes back to Logan Paul\u2019s first fight with the YouTuber in 2018. Ever since then, the younger Paul brother has been itching to face off with KSI whenever possible, culminating in a head-to-head standoff with the UK-based personality after Jake\u2019s win over AnEsonGib a year ago. With KSI having defeated his older brother, it seems that Jake is hankering to restore his family\u2019s honor \u2014 but amid the current global pandemic, it doesn\u2019t look like KSI is interested in risking his health for a boxing match. Jake Paul spoke on this apparent issue during a video uploaded on January 27, 2021, a year after he and KSI nearly came to blows in the ring. According to Jake, KSI is \u201cscared\u201d to fight him, and is using the ongoing global health crisis as an excuse to duck a potential bout. \u201cThis guy is scared of me,\u201d he claimed. \u201cHe\u2019s legitimately scared. You can see through all of his shit. You can see through it all. This guy keeps blaming not fighting me because of COVID.\u201d Despite doing his best to rile up KSI into fighting him, Jake isn\u2019t too sure their match will ever happen \u2014 and isn\u2019t sure he even wants to accept it, having now scheduled an event with former MMA fighter Ben Askren. \u201cI don\u2019t know what KSI is doing,\u201d he added. \u201cI doubt that fight is ever gonna happen. I\u2019m just gonna be fighting these MMA, these professional fighters, and my skill level is just growing and growing. I\u2019m not gonna go backwards and fight a YouTuber who I\u2019m just gonna kill.\u201d This is far from the first time Jake has accused KSI of ducking him; this particular song and dance has been going on since last year, with KSI reminding Jake that, \u201cYou\u2019re acting like a pandemic isn\u2019t happening right now.\u201d Will these two ever face off? That possibility is still up in the air, but for now, fans can look forward to Jake\u2019s upcoming bout with Ben Askren \u2014 as well as Logan\u2019s forthcoming Super Exhibition fight with none other than Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
