KSI is creating a first for the influencer-boxing world after revealing he\u2019ll be fighting in two boxing matches for his highly-anticipated comeback event on August 27. After his initial opponent, Alex Wassabi, dropped out of their bout due to possible health reasons, KSI opted to face off against British rapper \u2018Swarmz\u2019 instead. Fans weren\u2019t too happy about this substitution and let it be known on social media \u2014 and seemingly in response to this backlash, KSI upped the ante in a huge way. On August 16, 2022, the Brit claimed he\u2019d be taking two fights in the same night, adding Bulgarian pro boxer Ivan Nikolai as an additional opponent. During his announcement video, KSI directly called out rival Jake Paul, as though anticipating his eventual response to his surprising new bout against the 3-16-2 boxer. \u201cAnd Jake Paul, before you pipe up, why don\u2019t you fight him after me?\u201d he posed. \u201cWe can do a little challenge together. See if you can beat him in a quicker time than I can.\u201d While it doesn\u2019t look like Paul will be taking him up on that offer, he did give his response to the surprising news on Twitter, where he compared KSI\u2019s upcoming double-fight to George Foreman\u2019s infamous five-man fight in 1975. \u201cGeorge Foreman fought four people in one night and it was an awful showing,\u201d Jake wrote. \u201cAt first, it seemed like a good idea, but eventually it actually pissed the fans off because they realized all the opponents were put in to lose. It was basically a stunt, not worth the price of admission.\u201d For now, it\u2019s unclear how the night will go for KSI \u2014 but his comeback could shape the future of his possible match against Jake Paul after the two agreed over Twitter to meet in the boxing ring next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul takes shot at KSI \u201cstunt\u201d fighting two opponents YouTube: Jake Paul, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star Jake Paul is hitting out at rival creator KSI after the Brit announced he\u2019d be fighting two opponents in one night for his August 27 comeback event.
