Jake Paul has taken a swipe at KSI over a long-standing claim about their highly-anticipated super fight as he looked back at his pro boxing debut.
That seemed to set Jake and KSI on an eventual collision course to figure out who’d take overall bragging rights. However, it’s been four years, and despite a lot of chat about it happening, we’re no closer to seeing the longtime rivals in the ring against each other.
Jake Paul takes dig at KSI over long-standing claim for fight
“4 years ago today Jake Paul fought and KO’d Gib in the first round. KSI had said Gib would KO Jake,” Jake’s promotion brandtweetedbefore reminding the Brit on his pre-fight wager that appears to still be standing.
“He had also said if Jake beats Gib, he would agree to fight Jake. 4 years later. 185 and we have a fight.”

The weight at which their fight would take place has been a bit of a sticking point in negotiations, given that Jake usually fights at around 200 lbs and KSI has been at 183 lbs.
Such a big weight difference should lead to a catchweight fight, but neither of the YouTube stars will want to give up too much to their rival. So, it remains to be seen if it’ll happen.
