I\u2019m literally using you as a stepping stone for Jake!\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re a stepping stone, bro,\u201d he continued. \u201cI need you as a warmup. I need a warmup to get back into the swing of things! It\u2019s been awhile since I\u2019ve felt connected to a YouTuber with my fists! So I wanna get back into the swing of things, and then boom, Jake Paul.\u201d View this post on Instagram That\u2019s not all; KSI also teased a possible future bout with Floyd Maywather, who took on Logan Paul in June for an exhibition match \u2014 although, for now, the idea is still just a concept in KSI\u2019s grand plans. \u201cYou never know, I could be fighting Mayweather as well,\u201d he mused. \u201cBro, it\u2019s all mad.
