Jake Paul Calls Out KSI
Jake Paul has wasted no time in challenging his old rival KSI for a fight after Mike Tyson withdrew due to health concerns. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was scheduled to face Tyson on July 20, but the bout was postponed after Tyson fell ill during a flight from Miami to LA.
Weight Excuses No More
Paul, also known as the Problem Child, took to social media to call out KSI, claiming that he is ready to fight and has bulked up to the heavyweight level. He taunted his long-term rival, saying, "KSI’s coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses… Let’s run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October/November."
Rivalry Renewed
Paul and KSI have a history of rivalry and have been speculated to face each other in the ring, especially after both suffered defeats to Tommy Fury. KSI, who has undergone a significant body transformation, now weighs 200lb, while Paul has been fighting at the 200lb cruiserweight limit.
