In the realm of influencer boxing, Jake Paul and KSI share one of the biggest rivalries, if not the biggest. Both internet sensations have yet to face each other and the fans could not help but make predictions about their potential bout. Intriguingly, their bout appears to be competitive on paper. Both of them have similar experience, age, and one loss on their record, by the same combatant, Tommy Fury.

However, in a recent turn of events, Ryan Garcia, ahead of his comeback fight against Oscar Duarte, ends the debate by giving his prediction. Does he side with the American or the 30-year-old?

Garcia is a close aide of ‘The Problem Child’ and has trained with him in the past. Meanwhile, KSI has expressed a certain degree of resentment towards ‘Kingry.’ However, when asked about a prediction, Garcia did not appear to give a decisive answer rapidly. He took a couple of seconds, thought it out, and then confidently stated, “Jake Paul.” 

In the past, he has been vocal about his support for the 26-year-old. However, KSI shocked the world, to an extent, by his performance against Fury. Ever since, their bout appears to be closer and competitive. The fact that Garcia took time to make his prediction, despite being a supporter and friend of Paul, is a testament to the same.

Who would win when the two square off? Only time can tell. However, we do know if the fight does take place, who Garcia would have his money on. Moreover, we have seen Garcia show support to, ‘The Problem Child,’ but let’s take a look at the boxer lashing out at KSI.
