Jake Paul and the British YouTuber KSI faced the same problem ahead of their highly anticipated contest. The duo was most likely to put on a show on their respective scheduled date, but the unfortunate turn of events left them with nothing. First, ‘The Problem Child’ was forced to cancel his August 6 showdown due to his opponent’s inability to meet the required weight.

On the other hand, KSI was set to meet another American YouTuber Alex Wassabi on August 27 in the O2 Arena in London. However, due concussion to the head, his opponent pulled out of the fight. This gave an opportunity to ‘The Problem Child’ to call out his brother’s opponent. He took to Twitter and proposed to replace Wassabi. He even agreed to make the required weight till 27 August.

To provoke the British Youtuber, Paul shared a video clip saying if KSI did not accept the fight, then it means he is scared of him. But Paul’s words had no impact on KSI. But to save his event, KSI made it official that he will still be fighting on the promised date with his former collaborator, footballer, and rapper Swarmz.
