When YouTube boxing first started making waves back in 2018, it seemed pretty likely that KSI and Jake Paul would square off to settle their beef. It\u2019s been five years since then, and the longtime rivals haven\u2019t gotten close. They\u2019ve constantly talked about fighting each other, with them even negotiating to fight before the end of 2023, but it appears as if they haven\u2019t made any progress in recent weeks. Jake has claimed that he\u2019s open to doing it in the UK, but KSI shut down his \u201cwinner take all\u201d offer, noting that he hasn\u2019t yet paid Tommy Fury for that fight. The Brit has even claimed that Jake has \u201caired\u201d him on negotiations since then. KSI says Jake Paul has \u201caired\u201d him on talks for boxing fight That\u2019s right, in another round of trash talk, KSI claimed that \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 is \u201cscared\u201d to fight him and has \u201caired\u201d the contract that he sent over. \u201cBro, for real, he\u2019s just constantly chatting s*it,\u201d the British YouTube star said in his March 28 video. \u201cI don\u2019t understand how his audience just eats up all this s*it that comes out of his mouth. All the time! \u201cLet\u2019s meet in the middle, 180, that\u2019s perfect for me and him! Like yeah, we just went back and forth, and eventually, he just aired my request to sign the contract. Just fight. Look, at this point, Jake doesn\u2019t want it, which is hilarious because Jake was seen as \u2018the guy\u2019.\u201d Timestamp of 10:20 As KSI has been keen to point out, he\u2019s already eyeing retirement at the end of the year and wants to go out with a bang by fighting the winner of the Jake vs Tommy Fury rematch. That rematch is reportedly in the works for July, but Tommy has also claimed he\u2019ll fight a \u2018bigger\u2019 fight before Jake. So, there are plenty of moving parts that could ultimately make it not happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI claims \u201cscared\u201d Jake Paul has gone silent over talks for long-awaited fight YouTube: KSI\/Jake PaulKSI continued his war of words with Jake Paul over the negotiations for their boxing match, claiming his longtime rival has \u201caired\u201d him as he\u2019s \u201cscared\u201d to fight.
