KSI reveals he’s aware of his fans’ wishes to see him fight Jake Paul. He wants the same and claims all these fights are preparations to fight Paul. Olatunji said, “The only reason I have come back into the boxing scene is to fight Jake Paul and beat him.”
“So, I don’t really understand, why people are complaining about the people I fight. Let me just enjoy the journey, enjoy the ride.” The 28-year-old continued, “Because ladies and gentlemen, once I fight Jake Paul, I’m done. I’m not boxing anymore. I would have solidified my legacy and then hung up my gloves forever.”
Fighting Jake Paul is the ultimate goal for KSI as a boxer. So, he wants to stretch this boxing stint as long as possible before the fateful encounter against his rival Jake Paul. He then asked his fans not to rush for that ultimate fight against Jake.
