KSI slams \u201cdelusional\u201d Jake Paul for trying to be boxing world champ KSIYouTube star KSI has hit out at his rival Jake Paul, calling him \u201cbeyond delusional\u201d for believing he\u2019ll someday become a boxing World Champion. With Jake Paul redeeming himself after his loss to Tommy Fury, taking the win over Nate Diaz by unanimous decision on August 5, the interest for him to touch gloves with KSI is at a high once again. Since the bout with Diaz, the YouTube star has gone back and forth on Twitter with his rival, who claimed he\u2019s \u201cbeyond delusional\u201d for thinking he\u2019ll become a boxing World Champion in the future. In an August 6 tweet, Jake claimed that despite his unusual boxing journey so far, he\u2019ll still end up as a Champion by 2026. \u201cFacts. All great fighters. My path may be different but the destination is going to be the same,\u201d he wrote. World champion by 2026.\u201d In response, KSI put \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 on blast, slamming him as delusional before listing several reasons why he\u2019ll never achieve his ultimate goal. \u201cYou\u2019re beyond delusional,\u201d he said. \u201c1. You\u2019ve never beaten a pro boxer in your \u2018boxing career\u2019. 2. You wanna fight Nate Diaz in a MMA fight but wanna be a world champion in boxing? 3. You couldn\u2019t even KO a 40 year old ju-jitsu black belt that was more interested in talking to the audience than fighting. He added: \u201c4. You\u2019re terrified that I\u2019m gonna destroy your legacy by beating Tommy Fury.\u201d Jake Paul then hit back, noting how KSI\u2019s fights are exhibition bouts, meanwhile, claiming he\u2019s helping the sport while his rival is tarnishing it. \u201cYou are an exhibition fighter doing exhibition events. Need my brother to make you relevant. I love boxing, you love your ego. I\u2019m helping the sport, you are degrading the sport. Don\u2019t ever confuse the two. And for the record I would f**k you up in boxing or mma. Easy easy easy work. KSI is set to step in the ring with Tommy Fury on October 14 to do \u201cwhat Jake Paul couldn\u2019t\u201d \u2014 where afterward he says Paul and Fury can rematch to decide who faces him as the \u201cfinal boss.\u201d \u201cWhen I beat Tommy, you and him can rematch to fight me. I\u2019m the final boss. That\u2019s how this all plays out,\u201d he replied to Jake.
