KSI fight announcement sparks more interest from fans than Jake Paul\u2019s Tommy Fury bout Two titans of content creation \u2013 KSI and Jake Paul \u2013 are slated to step into different rings this coming August, and Olatunji\u2019s fight is seemingly drawing more interest. On June 23, Jake Paul announced his upcoming pay-per-view event against professional boxer Tommy Fury. However, in the days following the announcement, Paul has called out Fury numerous times on Twitter for being MIA. Fellow YouTube star and amateur boxer KSI also announced his upcoming boxing event against 1-0 rookie Alex Wassabi. He defeated KSI\u2019s brother Deji in a main event fight earlier this year. Fans are excited to see their favorite creators back in the ring this August, but if we\u2019re going by interactions, KSI\u2019s fight has definitely sparked more interest. I can\u2019t wait to repeatedly punch the man I\u2019ve had beef with for years, the man I\u2019ve laughed at for years, the man that beat my brother, the man that has signed his death wish as soon as we enter the ring. I\u2019m a different animal & you will realise that fact on August 27th. pic.twitter.com\/O0lwQIHExG \u2014 ksi (@KSI) July 1, 2022 KSI announcement gains massive response KSI revealed his opponent on July 1, seven days after Paul,\u2019s announcement, and the tweet announcing his opponent had amassed over 100k likes in just five hours. Including the tweets from Jake Paul, Most Valuable Promotions, SHOWTIME Boxing, and Madison Square Garden; the Paul vs Fury fight announcement only garnered ~20k likes. This is days after Paul has repeatedly claimed Tommy Fury is \u201ctrying to get out of this fight.\u201d He has also stated that Fury\u2019s team has attempted to get Jake Paul to fight in the UK. KSI has mocked the current state of Paul\u2019s fight on Twitter and has invited him to fight Fury as the co-main event on his own card. Jake didn\u2019t outright decline KSI\u2019s offer but instead clapped back with words of his own. I play chess, u play checkers. Ur opponent is repped by me & I know a lot more about ur biz than u would like. Ur not on my level in boxing or the boxing biz. Out of respect for my client, I\u2019ll let u keep chirping away like a canary. You & Fury r both big mouths, w\/ small sacks. https:\/\/t.co\/9GGbRbHjec \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 29, 2022 Paul even pointed out that Alex Wassabi is repped by Most Valuable Promotions, Jake\u2019s own team. However, many fans in the replies to KSI\u2019s announcement are already claiming Wassabi won\u2019t stand a chance. Pending Fury\u2019s arrival in the US, August is going to be a month full of fights. And after these events, maybe we\u2019ll get to see Jake Paul and KSI step into the same ring to settle their differences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
