From the moment the fight was conceptualized to the months leading to the Manchester Arena event, the two have constantly been at each other’s throats, taking some scathing verbal jabs. An undeniable hype around it now, fans are chomping at the bits to see the two square off inside the squared circle.

Apart from the fight between them, the event also holds another big event all set to send boxing fans into a frenzy. For the main event, rapper-turned-fighter, KSI will go head-to-head against Tommy Fury. Four big names on the card, October 14th indeed will be a night to watch out for. With just days ahead of this undertaking, Danis, in yet another controversial take of his, has spilled the beans on what the fight possibly means for the various stakeholders. One among them remains Logan’s younger brother, Jake Paul.

Self-esteem seems to be in abundance in ‘El Jefe’s’ headspace. The storm is building for the 14th of October, and he thinks he stands in the eye of it. While he plans to take care of ‘Maverick’ inside the ring, he thinks he is the prospect everyone else is chasing. In a conversation with Andrew Schulz on the Flagrant podcast, he floated an argument that casts aspersion on the relationship between the Paul brothers. He insinuated that Jake Paul is in fact banking on his brother’s loss. But it’s not just Jake that is pushing for it. It’s also KSI.

Maverick said, “Jake and KSI are fighting for my rights if I win.” Explaining it further, El Jefe said, “They want it signed so I don’t… KSI doesn’t want me to go to Jake and Jake doesn’t want me to go KSI.”

This prompted a burning question from the podcast host Andrew Schultz, ” Hold on….so, Jake is investing in his brother losing?”
