KSI updates fans on possible Jake Paul fight amid Logan Paul rematch rumors Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIME \/ YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has given fans a long-awaited update on his potential boxing match with rival Jake Paul after the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 knocked out former UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Jake Paul is coming down from his fifth professional boxing victory after his knockout win over Tyron Woodley on December 18. Boasting an undefeated pro record, Paul is looking toward even bigger opponents to pad his resume in the near future \u2014 but fellow YouTuber KSI is still waiting in the wings for his chance to take on the influencer-boxer. KSI has long awaited an opportunity to face off against Jake. After trading punches with big bro Logan Paul twice (and ultimately emerging the victor of their infamous rivalry), KSI made it a point to publicly challenge Jake, too. The two have since traded verbal blows back and forth on social media, and even had a tense faceoff after Jake\u2019s victory over AnEsonGib in early 2020. Since then, it\u2019s been an unspoken truth that the two will touch gloves, one day \u2014 but that day may be later, rather than sooner, according to a recent update from KSI. In a December 31 reaction video, KSI admitted that, while he definitely wants to pummel the youngest Paul brother into the canvas, that time will have to wait until his schedule clears. KSI explains why fight with Jake Paul won\u2019t happen soon \u201cI will, to this day, tell you that I still feel like I could beat Jake Paul,\u201d he began. \u201cI don\u2019t care if he knocks out all of these people. Styles make fights, and I know my style would slap up Jake Paul.\u201d \u201cAt the end of the day, I could say this, I could say that, it doesn\u2019t matter. I\u2019m not fighting right now. So who cares? Do I wanna fight? Yes. Can I fight? No.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not gonna happen anytime soon,\u201d he continued. \u201cDon\u2019t hold your breath. \u2026Things have to slow down in my other sectors of life before I can actually think about boxing again.\u201d (Topic begins at 2:35) Considering his work with the Sidemen, his successful music career, and other various projects, it seems like KSI is full up for the foreseeable future\u2026 but it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s not putting a grudge match with Jake out of his mind. For now, KSI is focusing on his mysterious upcoming collaboration with Logan Paul, which kicks off on January 3, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
