Jake Paul reveals the real reason he hasn't fought KSI yet

Jake Paul as dished on why he has no plans to fight fellow YouTuber KSI.

No matter what you think of Jake Paul, he's continuing to prove his worth in the ring. While stepping out in the most expensive boxing outfit of all time (boasting 380 carats of VVS diamonds and being worth $1 million) and sporting a $100,000 earpiece to taunt Mike Tyson haven't won him many fans, he's praised with breathing new life into the sometimes stale boxing scene and being a strong advocate for giving women boxers equal pay.

There's been a rise in 'YouTube' boxers, with KSI being on the other side of the Atlantic as another formidable force. There's plenty that ties the two together, like Jake's older brother, Logan, sharing Prime with KSI. Jake has also fought KSI's younger brother, besting Deji Olatunji in a fifth-round technical knockout during an August 2018 white-collar boxing match. With the Deji fight kickstarting Jake Paul's boxing career, there are calls for him to take it up a notch and finally step into the ring with KSI.

Speaking about what's next following his win against Tyson, Jake Paul joked, "I’m fighting Joe Biden," on the Impaulsive podcast. He added: "Any senior citizen. You have to have dementia or Parkinson’s. If they don’t have that, I can’t fight them."

This is when Logan Paul brought up KSI, as Jake mused: "KSI is old. He fits. He’s retired, he doesn’t actually box, so it works."

Logan revealed his 'grand vision' and explained: "I'd really like you and KSI to stop hating each other please, but I understand that can't happen without somebody getting f**king knocked out or some sh*t, so can you just get it over with please?"

It's something Jake has clearly mulled over before, telling his older brother he's 'ready' to take on KSI. Logan reiterated that different weight classes seem to be getting in the way thanks to Jake being too heavy and KSI being too light.

There could be other issues getting in the way, with Logan adding that egos between management companies getting in the way.

Which country would the fight take place in, who gets paid what, and the weight class decision are all stumbling blocks, but at least there's a foundation of rivalry there.

When Tyson had to postpone his fight earlier this year due to a medical issue, Jake Paul even called on KSI to be his replacement. This beef has been going on for years, so it's time to put it to bed.

Ahead of the Paul vs Tyson fight, KSI branded it as 'disgusting.' Posting on X, KSI wrote: "Boxing is a young man’s game and Mike is 58 years old. They’re sending a lamb to the slaughter and it’s disgusting."

Although Tyson survived without getting KO'ed, there are complaints that Paul won on points alone. As well as accusations that the fight was rigged, others simply said it was boring. Still, with Netflix and the fighters making a fortune, Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions are surely looking for their next bout. Even though KSI might not have the titles of Tyson, seeing the two YouTubers finally hashing out their differences could be a boxing match for the ages.
