"No respect for Jake" - KSI hits back at Anderson Silva after the latter calls Jake Paul an "inspiration to the youth"

With the much-anticipated fight between MMA legend Anderson Silva and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul about to take place, JJ &quot;KSI&quot; has chimed in with his take. The English YouTuber was seen posting a tweet hinting at a possible Jake Paul victory due to Silva claiming to have been knocked down before.The tweet, however, caught Silva's attention, who swiftly responded with a tweet of his own. According to the Brazilian, he simply misspoke as English is not his first language. He further stated that KSI should not &quot;burn&quot; but rather &quot;build.&quot;KSI didn't accept the offer. Rather, he went after Jake by claiming that the latter only thinks about himself. He exclaimed:&quot;I have no respect for Jake.&quot;ksi@KSII have no respect for Jake. He is no inspiration.
