The British boxing sensation KSI is gearing up to return to the ring after almost three years . According to the leaked Spanish version of his card, the 1-0 boxer is most likely to square off with another YouTuber turned boxer, Alex Wassabi, on August 27 at the O2 Arena in London. Ahead of this highly anticipated contest, the controversial boxer Jake Paul has added an interesting chapter.

Recently, to confirm that his opponent Wassabi is actually serious and preparing for his upcoming contest, the British wrote on Twitter yesterday, I’m in LA, where you at p***y? @AlexWassabi. You’ve been so damn quiet. I wanna make sure you’re working hard and actually gonna give me a challenge this August. Send me location.”

This tweet unexpectedly received the response of younger Paul brother. Which made the scenario interesting. Jake wrote, “Send Location.” Notably, the social media personality Paul is the younger brother of the Rapper’s former opponent, Logan Paul. Moreover, on various occasions, the YouTuber himself has expressed it’s his dream to take a shot against ‘The Problem Child’.

This exchange on Twitter has created a buzz about whether the biggest rivals are finally going to settle their business in the ring because in the world of combat sport ‘Send Location‘  stands for calling out for a fight. This is the iconic phrase of retired UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, who used it the first time to call out UFC megastar Conor McGregor.

What did KSI say in response to Jake Paul?

Certainly, it is not going to happen soon, as both Paul and the Rapper are set to meet their opponents in August on different dates. So it was just a back and forth between the two, with a reply from the rapper as:

He wrote, Gotta get Jake to fight your battles for you huh? You’re a grown man. You’re older than me @AlexWassabi.”
