KSI has, unlike the overwhelming majority of YouTube stars, transcended the platform and become widely known in mainstream culture. Not only a boxer, the rapper\u2019s new album \u2018Dissimulation\u2019 has just been launched. It was during an interview with BBC Sounds about his new album that the YouTube star shed some light on his reasons for fighting Jake Paul, and whether he will look to find a new opponent once the bout is over. Following discussion about his new album, the star then addressed the heavily-rumored fight with Jake Paul. After beating Jake\u2019s older brother, Logan, across two fights, KSI has stated his intentions to fight Jake, following the American\u2019s victories over Deji and AnEsonGib. Asked by the show\u2019s host why he needs to fight Jake Paul, KSI responded: \u201cI don\u2019t need it, but I want to, because I just need to humble him. I need to finish this whole thing off. Gib was meant to do it back in January, and unfortunately he failed, so I\u2019m here to finish off this whole YouTube boxing thing.\u201d Despite being heavily anticipated, AnEsonGib\u2019s fight with Jake Paul ended in the first round, with the American securing the TKO. How quick was that?!

I can\u2019t just duck him, I can\u2019t just get away from him. I need to let him know who\u2019s boss and who\u2019s the king of this YouTube boxing.\u201d KSI confirmed that the fight will definitely take place, albeit probably not this year. He finished: \u201cHe will be the last one. You never know, but I don\u2019t see there being anyone else.\u201d He agreed that the fight will be \u201cpersonal\u201d and stated that he genuinely dislikes both brothers. While certainly fuelled by vitriol for his opponents, KSI will be a strong favorite for the fight, thanks to his past record in boxing and significant size advantage. The discussion surrounding the fight recently has been heating up, with Paul accusing KSI of \u201cducking\u201d their match \u2013 though KSI said that he\u2019s never even seen the \u2018contract\u2019 in question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI reveals why Jake Paul fight will be his last boxing match IG: KSI\/Jake PaulPopular British YouTuber and rapper Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji has revealed why a boxing match against Jake Paul, younger brother of Logan Paul, would constitute his final fight.
