KSI showed off his shadowboxing skills ahead of his fight against FaZe Temperrr this Saturday - but Jake Paul was less than impressed.
'The Nightmare' is back in action this Saturday as he meets content creator Temperrr - real name Thomas Oliveira - in a six-round fight at the Wembley Arena. KSI made his boxing return last August with a farcical 'two fights in one event' after a three-year absence from the ring, stopping rapper Swarmz and boxer Luis Pineda in his two contests which didn't go down as professional bouts.
After feuding for several years, KSI and Paul are expected to meet this December in a highly-anticipated grudge fight. Paul isn't confident his YouTube rival will accept to fight him, even vowing to cut off his own penis if the fight does materialise. In his latest dig, Paul mocked KSI's open workout on Wednesday by writing: "Now I understand why he wants more time to fight me. Or is he trolling?"
KSI claims Paul hasn't been honest in his efforts to fight him, telling his rival during their recent Twitter space: "You say you are ready but then the negotiations don't say that. You are full of s***." Paul responded by stating: "I agreed to fight you for free and you know that and everyone online knows that on short notice. You had me two weeks for free and you still p***ied out."
Paul has given KSI until next week to accept his offer for a fight in the UK at the end of the year, insisting it must take place on his home turf if the Brit doesn't meet the deadline. 'The Problem Child' is unbeaten in six professional fights and most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva last October.

The 25-year-old is expected to settle his rivalry with Tommy Fury on February 25, as the Love Island star has pulled out of two previous bookings against Paul. "I sent KSI and his team a contract over a month ago. I offered to come to the UK, 185 pounds and 10 rounds," Paul wrote on Twitter.
"I have been at eight rounds since [Ben] Askren. He and his team have yet to respond. The offer was/is to come to the UK in December 2023. If he doesn’t respond next week after his show, then it’s going to have to be in the US. The best part is he tells Ariel Helwani that I’m hiding behind negotiations when in fact he has yet to respond."
