KSI backed to earn £10million from fight with YouTube rival Jake Paul

Eddie Hearn believes KSI could earn a purse of £10million if he finally settles his rivalry with Jake Paul.

The British YouTuber - real name JJ Olatunji - will return to the ring for the first time in two years when he takes on Alex Wassabi at London's O2 arena on August 27. It will be his first fight since defeating Paul's brother Logan, and a victory could see him move one step closer to a high-profile meeting with Paul.

Paul and his brother Logan are expected to travel to the UK to watch the fight, with the American expected to get in the ring afterwards and come face-to-face with KSI. Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn, who has worked with both fighters, believes it will be an easy night for Paul.
