KSI vs. Alex Wassabi has been one of the most hyped influencer boxing fights of the year. Although the fight is planned to go down August 27, according to an insider, Wassabi might have to bow out of the fight due to concerns relating to a recent concussion. The injury could open a door for another boxing influencer looking for a bout himself: Jake Paul. Jake Paul delivers fight offer to KSI The rumors of Wassabi\u2019s potential backing out popped up on August 6, leading to Jake to make a public offering to KSI to be the replacement fighter. Paul said, \u201cKSI\u2026 everything happens for a reason. I\u2019ll come to fight in your hometown. Your boxing company. You are A-Side. I also agree to make 180 pounds for August 27. You accept?\u201d Jake continued to publicly poke fun at KSI and said, \u201cPrediction of reply from KSI: I accept, haha, I will f*ck up Jake Paul, haha. He needs me, haha. But, my team told me I should wait to make this a big event. Blah blah blah.\u201d Paul even uploaded a poll asking his followers if they think KSI will accept the fight if they both agree to be 180 pounds in London on August 27. In response to Jake, KSI revealed on Twitter that he had contracted another fighter just in case something like this happened. \u201cWhat you didn\u2019t know is that we actually contracted another fighter in case you guys pulled something like this,\u201d KSI told Paul. \u201cWe will fight on my terms and when we do, it\u2019ll be done on the biggest stage,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m talking Wembley stadium fam. With a full camp tailored just for you and I, so that there are no excuses when we fight. None of this short notice s**t.\u201d So, while a fight between Jake Paul and KSI could happen eventually, it doesn\u2019t seem like it will be happening as soon as August 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI responds to Jake Paul claims he would reject boxing match after offer to replace Alex Wassabi KSI\/Jake PaulAccording to a new report, Alex Wassabi is backing out of his fight versus KSI and now Jake Paul is offering to fight the British YouTuber in his place.
