CLEVELAND, OHIO: MMA fighters Jake Paul and KSI have been on a collision course for some time, but their clash in the boxing ring has yet to materialize.
In a recent episode of the BS podcast, Jake Paul, often referred to as "The Problem Child," openly derided KSI, labeling him a mere "side quest." He also seized the moment to discuss his future fights.
What is KSI's next fight?
This development follows KSI's announcement of retirement after his bout with Tommy Fury, with the influencer stating that he will determine his next steps after this particular fight.
“I know Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are going to be on my a** wanting to fight and I'm going to be the one high up on my throne going 'Nah, you motherf**kers fight and I'll decide what I want to do after.” KSI said.
Will Jake Paul fight KSI?
During the BS podcast, a variety of topics were discussed by Jake Paul, including a fight with KSI. It became evident that he wasn't particularly concerned about KSI's statements.
Jake Paul expressed his clear intention to fight KSI, regardless of KSI's claims.
He stated, “Whatever he wants to do but I believe there is still beef between us to settle. I want both fighters, KSI and Tommy Fury. Win, lose or draw."
He then added, "Either one of them, I think it needs to happen for the culture but he can do whatever he wants.”
Furthermore, Jake Paul revealed his ultimate goal of working towards becoming a world champion, saying,“I'm going to focus on becoming a world champion which is what I've always said."
Addressing KSI's claims, he added, “KSI has always said, 'My end goal is Jake' but to me that's like a side quest. Yes, there is beef there but I have my vision set on a much bigger picture.”
Are Jake Paul and KSI friends?
They are rivals but also business partners. Both own 20% each in the Prime Hydration company and are the faces of the beverage brand.
However, despite this collab, as Jake Paul has made it amply clear, their rivalry is alive and well.
Jake Paul in the BS podcast compared KSI to an immature child and proceeded to mock him during the discussion.
"He tries to play these games to make it seem like 'Oh, he needs to come and chase me around'. It's like a little kid trying to impress an adult," Jake Paul said, taunting KSI.
Maybe after they both get some punches in, they will leave the feud behind to truly become friends.
