Jake Paul and Joe Fournier haven’t had a great relationship in the past. However, it seems like the duo has managed to put their beef aside and take a shot at KSI. Fournier is going to face KSI in May, and as the saying goes, ‘The enemy of the enemy is a friend’ it seems something similar happened here. Happy Punch recently uploaded a video of Paul and Fournier appearing on a video together. Fournier first asked, “Guess who’s here?” To which Jake jokingly replies, “Hey KSI, it’s your dads”. Fournier asked Paul’s opinion on the winner of the bout. Paul surprised fans with his reply, “You, bro. 100 percent KSI, I think he’s going to bring a tough fight, but he hasn’t gone up against anybody at your level. That’s just facts.”
After this, the video cuts to Jake Paul, claiming that he will be leaving KSI on the ground. Then the video ends with Jake Paul agreeing to a potential fight after Fournier’s fight with KSI. Nevertheless, Fans were not surprised that Paul changed his whole opinion of Fournier. However, a lot of fans were disappointed with Paul’s switch of attitude. This is because it was only very recently that, in a tweet, Jake Paul had called out KSI and mocked Fournier by telling KSI that beating him wouldn’t make him the top influencer boxer. However, in the video, the duo was smiling and had a friendly attitude toward each other.
