The saga between KSI and Jake Paul prolongs. The British boxer first called out the 26-year-old after his victory against Joe Weller back in 2018. However, destiny had it for them to keep their bout in abeyance. Fast forward 5 years later, and both personalities are one of the biggest influencer boxers. Moreover, ‘The Problem Child,’ suffered a defeat back in February of this year against Tommy Fury.

Witnessing this, instead of facing Paul, the 30-year-old decided to face Fury to get one up on his arch-nemesis. Ahead of KSI’s fight with Fury, the two continued to take digs at each other online. What were the recent digs, and how did KSI’s manager clap back at him? Let’s unwrap these questions.

Recently, KSI and Fury had a face-to-face discussion with one another. Intriguingly, Jake Paul, ahead of his bout with Fury, also had a face-to-face with him. However, what was not similar was the YouTube views generated by the two videos. Despite being uploaded months ago, Paul’s interview with Fury paled in comparison to KSI’s views. And you guessed it, KSI seized the opportunity to slam him. On Twitter, he shared two screenshots to reflect on the disparity in views.

However, Paul did not hold back either. In response, he showcased the pay-per-view buys of his last fight against Fury and KSI’s last fight against Joe Fournier. In the image posted on X, Paul suggested that his fight sold more than double the PPV buys at more than double the price.

Although Paul did sell the fight on PPV for $49.99, it bears a mention that the price of the PPV was varying in different countries. This was pointed out by none other than KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor. On his X account, he claimed that most of the PPV buys came from the United Kingdom and the price of the PPV there was $19.95.

Reflecting on the same, while taking a dig at Paul’s defeat, he stated, Jakey Jakey Jakey boy. You can not stop lying, can you? Everything is fraudulent with you. Most (over 70%) ppv’s came from the UK for Tommy too. Levels indeed. Also…you lost.”
