YouTube sensations Jake Paul and KSI have been feuding over the past few months. The two seemingly shared similar fates after both their scheduled fights were on the verge of getting canceled. However, KSI managed to save his card by fighting two inexperienced opponents in one night while Paul is scheduled to face former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, in October.

The two agreed to fight in 2023 after Paul accepted KSI’s offer to fight him at the Wembley Stadium. However, The Problem Child recently revealed why a potential bout between the two might not take place. In an interview with JOE, Paul was asked if there was still a possibility of a fight between the two.

He stated that he could fight KSI whenever he wanted, even without training. Paul also revealed that he offered to fight KSI on 20 days’ notice while he was in Miami. “It doesn’t matter uh I’ll fight him whenever, wherever. I don’t need to train for it. I told him I would fight him for free and on 20 days’ notice while I was partying in Miami and didn’t take that offer. That would have been his best chance ever that he would have had at beating me so I don’t think we’ll ever fight.” he said.

If he does have confidence in the fact that he could beat me. It is based on a delusion and he has a mental disorder and honestly, I don’t think he has a mental disorder. He seems like a smart guy and the smart guy within him says to him I cannot beat that guy. It’s that simple okay.” said Paul.

It looks like the two aren’t fighting anytime soon. However, Paul still wasn’t shy about taking shots at his rival, who he feels doesn’t stand a chance with him in the ring. Moreover, the rivalry between them becomes even more complicated due to the involvement of Jake’s brother Logan Paul, who is a business partner of KSI and might be forced to pick sides between the two in the future.
