On August 6th, Jake Paul, a former YouTuber who is now a professional boxer, issued a challenge to KSI, another YouTuber. Unbeaten boxer Paul has offered to stand in for YouTuber Alex Wassabi at a boxing match in London on August 27. At 180 pounds, he plans to rekindle his feud with artist and YouTuber KSI in the British capital.
Jake Paul, who has a perfect 5-0 professional record, was slated to compete this week at a Madison Square Garden event against Hasim Rahman Jr. before facing Tommy Fury. He has his sights set on his previous foe after both confrontations ended in failure.
Taking to Twitter, ‘The Problem Child’ sent a message to KSI and expressed his desire to have a bout with him in the coming weeks. “Heard that Alex (Wassabi) is out bc (because) of a concussion,” Jake Paul tweeted. “F*cked up. This was a big opportunity for Alex. He will be back. KSI… everything happens for a reason. I’ll come to fight in your hometown. Your boxing company. You are A-Side. I also agree to make 180 pounds for August 27. You accept?”

The aforementioned Wassabi, a fellow YouTuber, was the opponent for KSI’s return to the ring; however, reports have stated that the Montana native has been forced off the London event after sustaining a concussion. With a split decision victory over Jake Paul’s older brother Logan in a November 2019 rematch at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, KSI presently has a 1-0 professional boxing record.
Paul made more predictions about KSI’s potential response ” Jake Paul tweeted. “I accept, hahahah, I will f*ck up Jake Paul, hahahaha. He needs me, hahaha. But my team told me I should wait to make this a big event. Blah blah blah.”
After Paul’s challenge KSI today took to Twitter and challenged him back saying “I’m gonna send you a contract. We fight next year. Wembley Stadium. The winner of the fight takes all. 100% of the purse will be on the line. Put your money where your mouth is and let’s finally end this. Will you accept? @jakepaul”
