There’s still time before the world can see KSI and Jake Paul box against each other. But still, there’s a competition going on between both Youtuber-turned-boxers behind the scenes. Technically, they’re both trying to prove themselves as the A-side before they’ll be ready to fight each other. Well, JJ is also trying to make up for his break, as he was on a hiatus from boxing so that he could focus better on his boxing career. While Paul was fighting non-stop since he got into boxing. So, KSI has planned a fight against Joe Fournier on May 13th, Wembley Arena, London.
Joe Fournier is a 40-year-old businessman who’s had a flawless record 9-0 until now, with 9 knockout wins. But he also took a hiatus of 5 years before fighting again in 2021, and now after approximately 2 years, he’ll be facing the Internet sensation, KSI. So, JJ Olatunji is definitely planning to defeat a professional boxer before Jake Paul does. Also, KSI loves doing multiple things at one time. Recently he even attended the UFC 286, where he celebrated Leon Edwards’ win in a cage-side video.
On the other hand, Jake Paul is focused on his rematch against Tommy Fury. He’s planning to fight against the young Fury before his fight against KSI. But the fans are not sure if KSI can actually defeat Joe Fournier. Some even stated that Fournier wasn’t a worthwhile opponent. While others showed complete trust in their favorite Internet personality.
