The British YouTuber KSI has built a good bond of friendship with his former rival and social media star, Logan Paul. But it is still unclear what the 28-year-old feels about Jake Paul, the younger brother of Logan Paul. Does he hate him or share a rivalry with the competitive YouTuber?

Recently, the English star took to his YouTube channel to drop a video for his fans. In this clip, the YouTuber turned boxer entertained a few queries of his fans.

While doing that, he came across a question, “You secretly respect Jake but can’t say you do because it goes against everything you stand for.”

Admiring the contribution of ‘The Problem’ to the sport of boxing, he said, “I respect the whole you know making shows of boxers get paid more and him bringing other boxers but F**k Jake. I have always hated him. Once I eventually get into the ring and knock him out. I will go to just laugh. I’m here to show that I’m the GOAT. I do not mention about.”

Furthermore, he added if he ever has time to square off with the 25-year-old boxing sensation in the ring, he would knock the latter out.

KSI definitely seems confident in his ability as a boxer.

The upcoming fight for Jake Paul

After a long layoff, the poster boy of YouTube boxing is going to make a return to the ring. According to Paul, his next bout is most likely to reach fruition on August 6 at Madison Square Garden, New York. The probable co-main event pugilist would be Amanda Serrano.
