KSI hits back at Jake Paul\u2019s claims that he ducked potential boxing match YouTube: JJ Olatunju, Jake PaulBritish YouTube star KSI is hitting back at rival influencer Jake Paul, who accused him of repeatedly ducking his requests for a boxing match\u2026 despite Paul saying he wasn\u2019t interested in throwing down. Jake Paul and KSI are two uber-popular content creators who have taken the boxing world by storm. KSI\u2019s infamous showdowns with Logan Paul, as well as Jake Paul\u2019s repeated victories over top athletes, have placed them firmly on the map in the historic sport. Initially, it seemed a bout between Jake Paul and KSI was in the cards, thanks to Jake\u2019s heated confrontation with his British rival after his victory over AnEsonGib last year. Amidst the ever-rising hype, the global health crisis occurred, prompting KSI to cite health concerns \u2014 and his busy music career \u2014 as reasons for putting their bout on pause for the time being. KSI just said he needs a pro boxing license to train in the UK? These excuses are getting worse & worse I just moved my whole team across the United States to Miami to train This kid is a millionaire & has all the resources to find a way to train KSI is officially a bitch \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 28, 2021 Some time after this, Jake Paul claimed he was \u201cdone\u201d talking about a match with KSI; until, that is, KSI appeared to agree to a fight with Austin McBroom, who recently won his bout against Bryce Hall in the YouTubers vs TikTokers event. Paul was quick to call out KSI on social media, writing in a scathing tweet: \u201cLol. KSI immediately jumping at the opportunity to fight Austin. I guess \u2018music tours\u2019 and \u2018[redacted]\u2019 were only in the way of him fighting me.\u201d A few days later, KSI has finally replied to Jake\u2019s callour, and his comeback used Jake\u2019s own words against him. Lol. KSI immediately jumping at the opportunity to fight Austin. I guess \u201cmusic tours\u201d and \u201cCOVID\u201d were only in the way of him fighting me \ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 20, 2021 KSI replied to Jake\u2019s tweet with an older video of the American influencer responding to KSI asking him if he wanted to fight or not. \u201cI want a straight answer,\u201d KSI asked. \u201cYes, let\u2019s have a boxing match, or no, I\u2019m a p**y.\u201d \u201cNo, I\u2019m a p**y,\u201d Paul replied. \u201cI\u2019m not boxing you, KSI!\u201d While Paul has been adamant about not boxing folks without enough \u2018clout\u2019 in the past, it seems that the YouTuber has historically gone back and forth on whether or not KSI is worth his time \u2014 but KSI has claimed he is eager to fight Jake once his current musical success has simmered down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
