Jake Paul and KSI are professional YouTubers, who later turned into professional boxers. It all started in 2018, when KSI defeated Joe Weller, he wanted to take on another YouTuber. Jake Paul and his brother Logan Paul found themselves in the Englishman’s firing range. However, the fight did not happen that time as Jake Paul went on to fight Deji and not KSI. Since then, a potential fight between the two is highly anticipated.

Recently, Paul’s response to KSI’s call out has gotten people more intrigued about the fight. However, KSI had stated that after one fight with Paul, he would leave the sport. But to date, there has been no responses. However, Paul’s recent demand has baffled fans.

What is Jake Paul’s demand?

Paul has demanded that only BBBofC handle the fight. He wrote on his Twitter handle, “When I fight in the UK it will only be if it’s sanctioned by @BBBofCuk – that’s the governing body of pro-boxing in the UK.” Paul only wants to fight in the UK if the bout is sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control or in short ‘BBBofC’.
