KSI sets out retirement plan including crunch fight with rival Jake Paul

KSI is determined to fight Jake Paul in 2023 before retiring from boxing.

The YouTube star - real name JJ Olatunji - was involved in the early rise of influencer boxing, beating Joe Weller in a white-collar bout before drawing with Paul's brother Logan in the same format. He then defeated him in a high-profile professional rematch which triggered the rise of influencers in the sport.

After taking a break, KSI won two fights against Swarmz and Luis Pineda on one night in August as he began to plot a path to a fight with long-term rival Paul. And he believes he has the tools to beat his rival which will allow him to cement his legacy in the YouTube world.
