After his defeat against Tommy Fury, Jake Paul made it clear that he would not pursue a match against KSI before the rematch against Fury. In addition, ‘The Problem Child’ referred to the CEO of Misfits Boxing actually avoiding facing him in the ring. However, in his latest statement on Twitter, KSI disclosed that as Jake Paul delayed negotiations for their fight, he eyed a potential fight with none other than Tommy Fury.
At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury.
Jake Paul is being long with negotiations.

However, before he faces Tommy Fury in the ring, the CEO of Misfits Boxing has the plan to square off against a professional boxer he believes he can beat. In fact, the YouTuber has a date for his next fight. According to his statement, he will make his return to the ring on May 13th. In his tweet, thus KSI said, “At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury. Jake Paul is being long with negotiations.”
Fans only want to see Jake Paul vs. KSI inside the boxing ring
On his recent appearance on the ImPaulsive podcast, Jake Paul spoke about how KSI while being “hot on Twitter” has been “absent” from fighting ‘The Problem Child’ in the ring. In addition, Paul commented on KSI’s boxing abilities. According to him, KSI is yet to fight “anyone good” in boxing. Given KSI’s recent statement, it seems he has strongly contradicted what Paul said on ImPaulsive. Following KSI’s tweet, several people reacted to it. A user named @DaredevilMMA replying to KSI said, “Jake Paul, that’s the fight, no one else”.
Letting the fans down once again, doesn’t matter about beating a pro boxer or beating someone who’s under 40 years old, it’s Jake Paul, that’s the fight, no one else

On the other hand, @UTD_Kieren felt it was the opposite of what KSI was now saying. “When Jake agreed to all your demands you said no,” they added.
Seems like it’s the opposite. You saying you want to the the A side and even when Jake agreed to all your demands you said no.
