KSI and Jake Paul got into a heated argument inside the Twitter space last night as the two YouTubers were embroiled in a debate regarding fight negotiations for a bout against each other.
In the Twitter space named “KSI VS Jake Paul LEAKED NEWS?”, fans questioned whether the level of opposition the British YouTuber-turned-boxer is facing is good enough to build up to a fight with the younger Paul sibling. A fan stated that Faze Temperrr is “not on the level” of one of Paul’s recent opponents, which includes former UFC champions like Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. The Watford-born content creator responded to the fans by saying:
“I was gonna take the Woodley fight, it was me [KSI] vs. Woodley, Dillon Danis vs. Logan Paul was what was going to happen. It was going to be a huge card in Texas, that was planned”.
Jake Paul then entered the conversation and coaxed the undefeated boxer to “fight Woodley now” instead of Danis and then proceeded to say:
“You came back to act like you were gonna fight me and then when the negotiations happened, you get all f*****g scared. If you can f**k me up, how come you haven’t done it yet? I’m full of b******t [supposedly] but I show up every f*****g time and fight real pros and challenge myself”.
The 29-year-old Youtuber then responded by telling Jake Paul “fair play” to him for doing a “great job” beating professionals, but when he “flatlines him,” he will understand “there are levels to this game.”
