In the Tone of Matthew McConaughey: Article Summary
YouTube personality turned boxer, Jake Paul, has declared his commitment to finally facing off against longtime rival, KSI. However, Paul claims that KSI is deliberately avoiding the fight by hiding behind contract clauses. The tensions between the two influencers-turned-fighters have been simmering ever since KSI defeated Paul's brother, Logan, in their 2019 rematch, following a draw the year prior.
Claim of Hiding Behind Clauses
Speaking in a recent Twitch stream with Adin Ross, Jake Paul vented his frustrations, stating that the much-anticipated fight with KSI will eventually happen. Paul expressed his efforts in trying to make the fight a reality, but alleged that KSI has been lying about the circumstances and using contract clauses to delay the process. According to Paul, these tactics are often employed in boxing when a fighter isn't genuinely interested in the bout. Despite the accusations, Paul emphasized his willingness to fight anyone, anytime, and even offered to have the match take place in KSI's home country of the UK.
Manager's Response
Responding to Jake Paul's claims, KSI's manager, Mams Taylor, questioned Paul's honesty and accused him of being a habitual liar. Taylor was quick to dismiss Paul's allegations, insinuating that lying comes naturally to him.
Recent Matches and Future Events
Jake Paul, aged 26, experienced his first defeat in February, losing by split-decision to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia. Despite the setback, Paul declined a rematch and instead returned to the ring in August, where he triumphed over former UFC star Nate Diaz in a ten-round bout. The upcoming match between Tommy Fury and KSI, set to take place on October 14 in Manchester, has generated significant excitement, with Jake Paul and his brother Logan scheduled to be in attendance. Logan, aged 28, will also be fighting on the undercard.
