KSI takes verbal jabs at ‘The Problem Child’! The aftermath of Jake Paul’s boxing clash with UFC veteran Nate Diaz has taken an unexpected turn. Why? Well, fellow YouTuber, rapper, and “Sidemen” co-founder KSI has lambasted Paul after his win over the ‘Stockton Native’ at the American Airlines Center. And before the dust could settle, potential rumors for the 26-year-old YouTuber’s next fight have already started pouring in.

Amidst the speculation, KSI has stepped into the spotlight, expressing his willingness to take on Paul in the ring.  In a recent interview, the Brit unleashed a barrage of criticism against “The Problem Child” – accusing him of cherry-picking retired MMA fighters to enhance his own image and confidence. KSI further argued that Paul’s apparent “excuses” were merely a way to evade his challenge. But what exactly are these alleged “excuses”? Let’s find out.

In a recent interview with The MMA Hour’s Ariel Helwani, KSI shared his thoughts about the Paul vs Diaz PPV. When Helwani brought up the idea of a face-off between the YouTubers, KSI passionately declared that he was more than happy to make it happen. But he then shifted the responsibility to Paul, adding, “Go tell Jake – You gotta talk to Jake! Get Jake on there and put it on him.”

It looks like KSI is suggesting that the challenge must come directly from Paul himself. Moreover, in a satirical manner, he laid out a hypothetical scenario that he believes represents Paul’s approach to potential opponents. Citing ‘The Problem Child’s list of callouts, he declared,

“Watch him go – [imitates Jake] ‘Nah man – well, I’m trying to be a world champion, but first I need to fight Nate Diaz, you know in the PFL for this MMA thing. And then after that, I might have to rematch Tommy Fury and then after that – I know – the KSI fight’s there but – I want to fight Masvidal though.”

KSI drew the spotlight on Paul’s bizarre choice of opponents, as he further mimicked Paul – “I want to find another retired MMA fighter – just to build my confidence, before I look at maybe even sniffing at KSI.”

Moreover, KSI’s critique escalated with a playful jab. He further suggested that Paul might even go as far as calling out the 55-year-old Joe Rogan to be his next opponent. The irony was palpable as the rapper painted a picture of Paul’s purported excuses becoming more outlandish. Concluding his jibes at the 26-year-old YouTuber, KSI remarked, “Excuse after excuse – like, he will find – he’ll call out Joe Rogan [Laughs].”

Following KSI’s remarks, Helwani expressed his determination to facilitate a face-off between KSI and Jake Paul. He humorously declared, “I’m gonna work on this. I’m gonna make this – this has become my mission!”

In the wake of KSI’s fiery commentary, it remains to be seen how Jake Paul will respond to these accusations. What do you think? Are we going to see a clash between the two YouTube celebs? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
