Jake Paul's dad calls out KSI and claims YouTube star is "scared" of his son

Jake Paul's dad Greg has once again called for a fight with KSI which accusing the Brit of being "scared" of fighting his son.

The social media star's father is a controversial figure in YouTube circles, and has previously been on the end of KSI's aggression when he was branded "disgusting" during the initial press conference for his fight with Jake's brother Logan. And the brothers even joked during the build-up to that bout that when KSI called out "any of the Pauls" that he should fight the 59-year-old.

And in a new video, the Paul patriarch decided to take on his first boxing training session with Jake, hitting pads and moving around before deciding that he would call out KSI. He admitted to his son that he had never trained properly before insisting that because the Brit wouldn't fight Jake he may have to step in.

"Don't tell anybody but I might have to kick KSI's a**," Greg Paul joked in a message to fans. "He's too afraid of Jake, so maybe I'll finish his a**." In the footage he then tells his son the plan, adding: "I'd beat his a**, I'm taking him on. He's not going to fight you, he won't fight me - he'll say I'm too old. He doesn't want to get knocked out by an old fat f***. Greg Paul beating his a**."

The Paul brothers have become well-known in boxing circles over the past few years, while their dad has remained a relatively quiet presence in the background after being in the fore during their careers as YouTubers. But he has previously shown interest in a fight, with fellow social media dad Simple Simon offering him a bout last year.

He turned down the Tik Tok star, whose real name is Simon Colbran, instead offering him a completely unfeasible bare-knuckle fight after being called out for a boxing match on one of the many YouTube boxing events that are happening in the UK.

Colbran had recently been knocked out by Ed Mathews, who is less than half his age, and wanted a more age-appropriate fight for his ring return. "Alright, this is the official call-out to Greg Paul," Colbran told Paul in an Instagram video back in July. "I don't want to go out on a massive L, which I am at the moment.

"I want to go out on a win. I'm not sure if he's too busy fishing or whatever they do when they retire out there, but let's do this, come on. UK vs USA, come on Greg, let's have it mate."

"There's some dumba** from the UK calling me out for a fight called Simple Simon," Paul said after hearing of the challenge. "He just had a boxing match with someone else, and he got his a** kicked. Listen, Simple Simon, I understand why you got the simple part in there.

"I'll fight you, but you see I haven't been working out or anything, and I think my arm is bigger than your calf. I'll fight you bare-knuckle or MMA, send me the contract so you can quit your f***ing lying. Your daughter cannot be in the arena because I don't want her to see you get the f*** beat out of you, you scrawny little b****. Send me the contract and drink Prime [his son's energy drink]."
