Jake Paul is \u201cdone\u201d calling out KSI for boxing match YouTube: ESNEWS \/ JJ OlatunjiYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul has long been vying for a fight with rival creator KSI \u2014 but it seems that he\u2019s officially done attempting to orchestrate a match with his opponent from across the pond. Although Logan was the first Paul brother to box KSI in August 2018, it seems that the tables have finally turned in wake of KSI\u2019s shocking split-decision victory in their 2019 rematch. Now, Jake Paul is jockeying for a bout against the British YouTuber, even coming head-to-head with the creator just after his first-round KO over AnEsonGib in January 2020. Since then, Jake has been doing his best to rile up his rival for a potential match \u2014 but KSI has rebuffed him at every turn, citing concerns with the current global health crisis as reason enough to hold off. In fact, this particular song and dance has been happening since last year, and it seems that Jake is finally washing his hands of a potential fight with KSI after months and months of no dice. In an interview with ES News on February 9, Paul claimed that he is officially \u201cdone\u201d calling out his rival for a boxing match during a training session at his local gym. \u201cI found ten gyms open in London, but KSI is making the excuse that he can\u2019t train,\u201d he claimed. \u201cHis trainer said like, KSI \u2014 actually, you know what? I\u2019m done talking about him. This is the last time I\u2019m talking about KSI. I\u2019m done. He\u2019s washed up. F**k that guy.\u201d View this post on Instagram Paul\u2019s coach appeared to agree with the sentiment, stating that he was \u201ctired\u201d of being asked about the bout and claiming that it \u201cis never going to happen.\u201d \u201cKSI is out of the question already, because even Viddal [Riley], who is a boxing guy, said look, I\u2019m not letting him fight Jake right now,\u201d the coach argued. (Topic begins at 2:00) With KSI out of the cards, Paul is free to focus on his upcoming boxing match against former MMA star Ben Askren on April 17. No matter your thoughts on YouTube boxing, it will be certainly interesting to see where Jake\u2019s fighting career goes from here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
