The two have been butting heads for some time and appeared to agree to a bout in 2023, although nothing more has been said about this supposed fight in some time. Although KSI is training for a different opponent for January 14, his fight with Jake looms on the horizon\u2026 but it looks like the rapper is experiencing some hesitation regarding his highly-anticipated bout with the youngest Paul brother. KSI admits to \u201cfear\u201d around influencer-boxing interest after Jake Paul fight He explained his worries during a sports physio appointment uploaded to YouTube on December 6, saying he fears that interest in influencer-boxing might seriously wane after their bout finally happens. \u201cThat\u2019s why, when I came back, I wanted to build it with Misfits,\u201d he began, referencing his long absence from the ring at the start of the pandemic. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m always gonna be so close.\u201d \u201cEven after I fight Jake and I put the gloves up, you never know, man. If someone excites me in the YouTube space and makes me want to come back to fight again, I\u2019ll do that on Misfits. I\u2019m here to help build the whole scene.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s one of the reasons why I didn\u2019t wanna fight Jake so soon or so instantly,\u201d he continued. \u201cBecause I do know that is a fear of mine, as soon as I fight Jake, it\u2019s done. If I just cared about making money, then I would\u2019ve fought Jake yesterday.\u201d (Topic begins at 6:00) It\u2019s unclear if KSI is referencing a possible fight in 2023 or not; it\u2019s been speculated that KSI will take three fights next year, with his last being against Jake. Considering his latest comments, and the fact that fans haven\u2019t heard hide nor hair of any more negotiations between KSI and Jake, it\u2019s unclear when, or if, we\u2019ll see these two face off in the ring next year \u2014 but it is certain that KSI wants to stick around to help build up the scene in the interim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
