YouTube sensation Jake Paul finally suffered his first loss in his professional boxing career. ‘The Problem Child’ lost to former reality TV show star Tommy Fury in a close split decision but will certainly look to make a comeback soon. However, the main problem that arises with this loss for Paul is who he will face now that he has finally tasted defeat.

A name that has been popping up is none other than his longtime rival and fellow YouTube boxer KSI. The British internet star is one of the biggest names in the influencer community along with Paul. Moreover, the two have long been calling each other out soon on social media looking for a fight and this might be the perfect time to book the fight. KSI’s manager Mams Taylor also thinks that this fight would be the right move for both but also gave fans a catch.

In a recent interview with IFLTV, Taylor stated that this fight can be booked if Paul does not fight in a rematch with Fury. According to him, if Paul loses to Fury the hype for this bout will also die out. In addition, the winner of Paul vs KSI can eventually take on Fury with that fight never getting off the table.

I think that as long as Jake doesn’t have a rematch with Tommy and loses the rematch. That kills the excitement you know so the thing to do here is KSI – Jake Paul that should be next for Jake and then you know depending on who wins, then that person fights Tommy. That makes the most sense to me,” he said.

Paul now has two options in front of him to further progress his boxing career. However, he has to make a decision quickly as the hype surrounding these fights tends to die out quickly. In addition, if Paul chooses to face Fury in a rematch, a fight with KSI might not be booked for the foreseeable future.

KSI vs Jake Paul has to happen. If you’re realistic about it, it’s a £100m fight. It’s enormous,” he said. Although this number might seem a little exaggerated, this fight certainly has the potential to become a huge event. Moreover, the combined popularity of these internet stars will only add to the PPV numbers if they decide to finally make it happen.
