Jake Paul has slammed his YouTube boxing rival as "unprofessional" in an heated rant as talks between the pair's sides hit a snag in recent months.
The pair have gone head-to-head in multiple settings before, but have never been able to pen a deal to fight after the Brit defeated his rival's older brother Logan in 2019. Over the past year, KSI has been on a comeback trail in boxing, landing three knockouts in his three return bouts with a major step-up expected this weekend against 9-0 professional boxer Joe Fournier.
Despite fans clamouring for KSI and Paul to step in the ring together, as well as the Brit pushing hard for the bout publicly, contract talks have completely slowed with both men now scheduled for future bouts. KSI faces Fournier this Saturday while Paul will take on Nate Diaz on August 5 in Dallas, both on DAZN pay-per-view.
