KSI agrees to meet Jake Paul's condition for their highly anticipated fight

Both Jake Paul and KSI are eager to settle their differences inside a boxing ring. But the hold up is the weight disparity between the fighters. KSI fights at cruiserweight and Jake Paul's last fight against Mike Tyson was at heavyweight. Speaking to Ariel Helwani, KSI said he'll be moving up in weight to face Paul:

''For me, I'm like, if weight is the problem, I'm going to start having to just get bigger and that's what I'm doing... He goes 'oh no, it's the weight, I'll fight you at 190 or 195lbs,' I'll go 'alright, let's go. I'm happy, let's go.' That's just it. So, for me to put on proper weight, it takes time... I feel like it has to happen, I want it to happen. I'm not ducking! I'm there and I'm ready, I've been ready."
