Jake Paul and the British YouTuber KSI faced the same problem ahead of their highly anticipated contest. The duo was most likely to put on a show on their respective scheduled date, but the unfortunate turn of events left them with nothing. First, ‘The Problem Child’ was forced to cancel his August 6 showdown due to his opponent’s inability to meet the required weight.
On the other hand, KSI was set to meet another American YouTuber Alex Wassabi on August 27 in the O2 Arena in London. However, due concussion to the head, his opponent pulled out of the fight. This gave an opportunity to ‘The Problem Child’ to call out his brother’s opponent. He took to Twitter and proposed to replace Wassabi. He even agreed to make the required weight till 27 August.
Heard that Alex is out bc of a concussion. Fucked up. This was a big opportunity for Alex. He will be back.
KSI… everything happens for a reason. I’ll come fight in your hometown. Your boxing company. You are A-Side.
I also agree to make 180 pounds for August 27.

To provoke the British Youtuber, Paul shared a video clip saying if KSI did not accept the fight, then it means he is scared of him. But Paul’s words had no impact on KSI. But to save his event, KSI made it official that he will still be fighting on the promised date with his former collaborator, footballer, and rapper Swarmz.

He even proposed KSI to face former UFC champion, Tyron Woodley, who is ready to meet the latter on short notice.
In another tweet, the Ohio-based boxer questioned KSI about a refund of fans.
When Tommy pulled out we gave the fans the choice to refund their tickets if they didn’t want to see the replacement.
KSI & @TheO2 how do fans get refunds?

Ok I’m going to go sleep now. Wake me up if KSI grows some courage.

In another tweet, Paul slammed KSI on ‘ring rust’ remark. He wrote, “***BREAKING NEWS*** KSI wants you to pay for an event so he can prove to himself that he is a better boxer then in the past. He will do this by “boxing” his friend who he makes music with.”
