YouTube boxer KSI makes surprise Jake Paul admission after pair's latest exchange

YouTube star KSI has admitted that his latest exchange with Jake Paul saw the American claim bragging rights between the pair.

The Brit, whose real name is JJ Olatunji, was supposed to fight Alex Wassabi on August 27 before his rival suffered a concussion that led him to pull out of their bout with just three weeks' notice. Paul rushed to step in and declare that he would be willing to take the short-notice bout, agreeing to all the terms that KSI publicly stated in the press.

He agreed to take the fight for free, make a gruelling weight cut and shared videos showing that he was out of camp after his own bout with Hasim Rahman Jr was called off over a weight issue. But it was never a feasible proposition, which meant KSI was forced to turn down the offer and instead take a fight with Swarmz.
