Mams prefers Paul over Conor McGregor for KSI

Fans have been waiting for the fight between ‘the Problem Child’ and KSI, for a long time now. Unfortunately, the timing never aligned when both fighters boasted undefeated records. However, things kind of dimmed down after the possibility of a Conor McGregor bout emerged. Recently, Misfits Boxing’s co-president, Mams Taylor, made a significant statement about KSI’s potential return to the ring. Shared on Twitter by boxing reporter Michael Benson, Taylor hinted that a bout with Jake Paul might be the ideal choice, despite the consideration of a Conor McGregor matchup.

According to Michael Benson, Taylor stated, “I think that [Jake Paul] is the fight to make if JJ says, ‘I wanna fight again’.” However, he also acknowledged that there is a prospective “big fight” waiting for JJ. But it seems that they prefer the Jake Paul fight and called it “not as complicated”. The rivalry between KSI and Jake Paul is intense, spanning several years. The question of whether this much-anticipated bout will materialize remains uncertain, particularly in light of Jake Paul’s aspirations to become a world champion boxer.
