KSI wants to box Jake Paul after Ben Askren fight: \u201cI\u2019m knocking him out\u201d YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Jake PaulKSI has finally given his verdict on Jake Paul\u2019s first-round victory over Ben Askren \u2014 and it\u2019s safe to say that he\u2019s hungry to give the \u201cProblem Child\u201d his first defeat. Jake Paul has managed to create quite a successful boxing career for himself. First overtaking fellow YouTuber Deji Olatunji in 2018, Jake went on to go pro, and has since taken out influencer AnEsonGib, former NBA pro Nate Robinson, and most recently, retired mixed martial artist Ben Askren. Paul\u2019s victory over Askren was monumental; upon knocking down Askren in the very first round with a clean shot to the face, the referee called for a stoppage, ultimately naming Paul the victor (and granting him a fairly impressive payday, to boot). As for who Jake will take on next, it\u2019s still not certain \u2014 but the Team 10 founder has made it clear that he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d entertaining a fight with KSI after initially challenging him in wake of his rematch with Logan Paul in 2019.

In an April 22 video, KSI clarified that he does want to box Jake, claiming that he got riled up after seeing him defeat Askren so easily. \u201cI\u2019m going to fight Jake,\u201d KSI said. \u201cI want to fight Jake. Don\u2019t get it twisted. When I saw he knocked out Ben Askren, I got angry. There\u2019s a part inside of me that feels like I need to f**k him up to show how much of a fraud he is. \u2026best believe when we get in that ring, I\u2019m knocking him out.\u201d As for when their fight will happen, no official date has been slated, but KSI stated that he only wants to focus on the match when he\u2019s finished \u201csmashing the music scene.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve got a good momentum going with the music, so I don\u2019t really wanna stop all of that just to fight this ****,\u201d he explained. \u201cI wanna wait \u2019til I\u2019ve got the album out, the deluxe, got the tour out of the way, shows, festivals\u2026 before I can get in camp and fight him.\u201d Jake Paul has yet to reply to KSI\u2019s latest callout, but there\u2019s no telling if he\u2019ll even be interested, considering his most recent opinion on the matter. For now, it looks like fans will have to wait and see how their beef pans out as his rival\u2019s music career continues to soar upward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
