Weller, who made his boxing debut against Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji, travelled to Paul\u2019s residence for a sparring session that both YouTube stars agreed would make great content. It was Paul who reigned victorious, hitting Weller with a well-timed body shot as the first round came to a close which left the Englishman unable to continue, sparking celebration from Paul\u2019s vast entourage. The fight has been widely criticized with Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem suggesting that he might have been paid to lose the fight and KSI questioned why Weller would walk into Paul\u2019s \u2018trap\u2019 as well as featuring in a diss track aimed at himself. Joe Weller responds to Keemstar and KSI Eager to address the fake fight claims, Weller released a video on his YouTube channel stating that he did take a hard hit and wasn\u2019t paid to lose. \u201cIf someone was going to fake a boxing match, you\u2019d do it with a convincing knockout punch,\u201d he said. \u201cNot something that just looks shit.\u201d KSI said in his reaction video that Weller should have simply ignored Paul\u2019s request for sparring session but Weller believes that would have been \u201cboring\u201d. He said: \u201cThat\u2019s just boring. I liked the idea of going to his back garden and fucking going for it. \u201cMost people would have pussied out of that, but who gives a fuck.\u201d Weller slams Deji and Jake Paul Joe Weller feels that YouTube drama isn\u2019t all what it\u2019s made out to be. Weller also had some choice words for KSI\u2019s brother Oladeji \u2018Deji\u2019 Olatunji who also released a reaction video to the fight and mocked Weller for featuring in Paul\u2019s diss track video. He claimed that the drama between Paul and Deji \u2013 who fought on the same card as KSI\u2019s fight with Logan Paul \u2013 wasn\u2019t what it was made out to be. \u201cJake said that him and Deji text \u2013 they sorted it all out after the fight,\u201d Weller said. \u201cAll of this YouTube drama and diss tracks \u2013 it\u2019s all for the cameras. It\u2019s not as deep as it\u2019s made out to be.\u201d Weller went on to criticize Paul, after he released his video a day before the pair had agreed to, but admitted he may have done the same thing if the tables were turned. He also said that Paul manipulated the filming of the music video and placed it before the fight to make him look like \u201chis bitch\u201d. Despite officially retiring from boxing in his version of the fight, Weller might well be interested in entering the ring again should the right opponent present themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Weller responds to Jake Paul \u201cfake fight accusations\u201d and KSI Popular YouTuber Joe Weller has been under fire after it was claimed he was paid to lose a boxing sparring session against Jake Paul, but the British star has now responded.
