"Knocked out within 2-3 rounds" - Fans speculate about potential Jake Paul vs. KSI fight as 'The Problem Child' teases upcoming bout 

Jake Paul's revelation about the announcement of his next fight coming up soon sparked speculation about his next rival. Several combat sports fans recently presented their take on how Paul would perform if he locks horns with KSI next.

Hardcore boxing fans have been criticizing Paul since his initial years in the sport. He called out retired UFC fighters and defeated them in the ring to get the initial victories on his record. 'The Problem Child' moved on to fight full-time boxers after that. Still, fans derided him for choosing to fight low-potential rivals.

Paul's unanimous decision victory against the 58-year-old Mike Tyson in his last encounter didn't do much favor to his reputation in the community. But his recent disclosure about the announcement of his next fight coming up soon made fans speculate about his upcoming rival.

An X account named MVP Updates analyzed the current situation and highlighted how KSI could well be Paul's next rival.

However, a large chunk of fans doubted the chances of the materialization of the encounter. Many of them also expressed that Paul would get the better of KSI easily. One such fan wrote:

"KSI will never fight Jake Paul. He will legit get knocked out within 2-3 rounds. He’s nowhere near same level as a boxer."

Others penned:

"I hope not cause KSI [is] so bad at boxing, looked completely lost during the Tommy “fight”"

"I'll be a pro boxer with a title belt before that happens."

"Naw [No]. KSI [is] a Misfits-type fighter and Jake supposedly wants to be [a] serious fighter."

Claressa Shields asked Jake Paul to fight another retired boxer next

A large chunk of the boxing community dissed Jake Paul for choosing to lock horns with a far-past-prime Mike Tyson. But the hatred for him intensified after his fight against Tyson turned out to be a lackluster encounter.

Several boxing fans also bashed Paul by saying that he would choose another senior citizen as the rival for his next fight. But the current WBC women's heavyweight champ, Claressa Shields, came up with a far better choice for Paul.

Shields recently took to X to present her choice for Paul's next rival. She highlighted the name of the undefeated former unified light heavyweight champion, Andre Ward as her pick for Paul's next opponent. Shields penned:

"I want to see @jakepaul vs @andreward!!!!!! This [is] the fight we need!!!!"
