Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn believes Jake Paul is fighting "levels above" his YouTube rival KSI.
KSI - real name Olajide Olatunji - won two fights in one night as he knocked out rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Pineta this past weekend. Both men were a clear mismatch for the YouTuber as Swarmz was warned several times to stop turning his back before eventually being stopped in the second round. Unknown journeyman Pineda was then knocked down seven times as he suffered his sixth professional defeat.
Hearn, who promoted KSI's professional debut against Logan Paul in 2019, thinks the Brit had made improvements after spending almost three years away from the ring. "He [KSI] looked better than he did when he boxed Logan Paul the second time," Hearn said on the DAZN Boxing Show. "Jake Paul is fighting levels above what we saw on Saturday. I think Jake Paul beats KSI but KSI looked better, although he was up against nothing. I think I’ll give him credit for looking a bit better than I thought he might."
