YouTuber turned boxing superstar, Jake Paul is currently set to face his longtime nemesis Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia on February 26, 2023. Meanwhile, fellow YouTuber turned boxing sensation, KSI, is fresh off a victory against FaZe Temperrr. On the other hand, there have been talks about a fight between the duo, by the end of 2023. While KSI gave Paul a list of demands for the fight. There were rumors that they have already signed a contract. However, Paul’s promotional company, ‘Most Valuable Promotions’, recently shut down the rumors about the contract signing.

In an interview with Mirror, KSI detailed his demands. He said, “Weight-wise, I’d love it to be 176lb, 177lb, but 180lb sounds perfectly fair, maybe even slap a rehydration clause – I know he’d want that!” And, also mentioned that he wished to have the fight in the UK.

Paul, however, was surprisingly in agreement with KSI’s UK fight clause. In a later tweet, he even agreed on the weight and rehydration clause. Which, in turn, intrigued KSI, who agreed to the fight. This also gave way to rumors that they had signed a contract.

But, MVP took to social media to shoot down the rumors. And also mentioned that the duo has not signed a contract.
