And the saga continues! Jake Paul and KSI have been involved in a long-drawn rivalry, which is yet to see its conclusion. However, the pair have been beefing and taking digs at each other at every opportunity. While ‘The Problem Child’ is about to enter the ring against relatively unknown Andre August, KSI has his own sparring match with IShowSpeed on the same day. If that wasn’t enough, the Brit recently clowned Jake ahead of the American’s upcoming fight. 

Previously, Jake offered KSI a winner-takes-all $50 million fight offer, even though KSI claimed he had retired after a controversial loss to Love Island boxer Tommy Fury. However, it seems he hasn’t retired from trolling his arch-nemesis, as disappointing news about Jake’s upcoming clash came to light.

Recently, a Twitter user revealed that tickets for Paul’s fight against Andre didn’t sell out. The user wrote, “Jake Paul vs Andre August is yet to Sell Out!” This news was pleasing to KSI, who is hosting a sparring match on the same date. So, the Brit quickly started typing out his thoughts on Twitter. 

The Brit claimed that the popularity of Jake’s fights is on the decline, so he won’t be wasting his time fighting Jake. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him, lol,” wrote KSI. While the Englishman is declining to fight Jake now, here’s what Jake’s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, and KSI’s promoter, Mams Taylor, said.

After the offer was made, Mams Taylor suggested for the fight to happen – it has to happen in 180 lbs, claiming both sides have to make compromises. So, Bidarian accepted the condition while highlighting KSI fought as heavy as 193 lbs and fought Tommy at 183 lbs. Jake’s promoter also explained the details of the winner-takes-all fight.

“KSI has fought as heavy as 193 pounds and just fought Tommy Fury at 183 pounds…Jake Paul will fight at 180 pounds, assuming it is a true winner takes all. KSI’s team has said KSI can’t do that because he doesn’t control Misfits. Solution, which we offered previously – the purse is $25M for each fighter. Winner takes purse of other fighter ($50M),” wrote Bidarian.
