Published 11/25/2022, 6:30 AM EST

Jake Paul and KSI have never hidden the desire to have a go at each other. From the online potshots to live spats inside the ring, the relentless banter has always kept the fans questioning, when?

Continuing their elliptical ballet outside the ring, KSI fired the first salvo of the latest skirmish. Squarely laying the blame on his partner’s younger brother for not fighting anyone matching his age, he tweeted –

Now, Jake is not one to bare his chin. He castigated KSI for the choice of fighter he had picked for the January bout.

Won’t be you since your own team says you need two more fights to be “ready” for me. You are a duck. Slim would have been a better test then a guy who has two fights in his entire MMA “career” that ended 3.5 years ago and has never punched someone in a fight. https://t.co/GNblhIZ0bF

Jake Paul and KSI, Prelims

More than half a million YouTube viewers have seen the confrontation between the two. As he celebrated his first professional victory over AnEsonGib in January 2020, Jake picked on KSI, attending the contest to support his gaming friend Gib.

Jake Paul Gives Up on the Biggest Fight of His Life

The pair of brothers, Jake Paul and his elder brother Logan fought KSI and his younger brother Deji in Manchester back in 2018. The amateur meet ended with KSI winning over Logan and Jake by a majority decision, and Jake marking his first victory through a technical knockout against Deji.

YouTubers from opposing ends of the Atlantic have made crossover boxing a sports staple.

Among the four, only KSI and Jake’s boxing futures are looking on the bright side. Sitting pretty with six professional wins, of which four came through knockouts, Jake raises the stake after each contest.

After successfully wrapping up two fighters, one after the other, on the same day, KSI is waiting for the next big fight.

Probably not satisfied with mere fighting, both have gone ahead to tap the high business potential of crossover boxing. KSI launched his Misfits Boxing this year. Throwing events under the X series, it has already completed three installments.

Jake Paul launched his Most Valuable Promotions, which covered all the fights from the first two against Woodley to the one against Anderson Silva.

Amidst such high stakes, KSI dropped in the news regarding his next fight. Conor McGregor’s training partner Dillon Danis will face the Briton on January 14th at Wembley.

The choice, without an iota of doubt, has left many perplexed. Dillon Danis, a Bellator MMA fighter, has not fought since 2019, let alone a boxing bout. His only claim to fame has been the association with UFC champion Conor McGregor.

According to Jake Paul, the fracas at their Austin weigh-in was nothing but make-believe: “Nothing worse than a staged run-in with coffee being thrown, and then you go outside and get your a*s whooped by some real ones.”

KSI responded, not taking those comments lightly, “The only thing staged is your boxing fights. Also, get ratioed.”

His manager, Mams Taylor, confirmed their fight in 2023. In so far as who ends up fighting against either will stand out a mile away, the web war will surely keep the fans and lovers hooked till then.
