CLEVELAND, OHIO: Jake Paul, a longtime opponent of fellow YouTuber and boxer KSI, has turned into a prizefighter and YouTuber himself. In a video posted on Happy Punch Promo's Twitter account, Paul criticizes KSI and asserts that the latter would suffer from an 'ego death' in a matchup with Tommy Fury.

“He is delusional, he has the craziest ego and he likes to think he is way better than he is Tommy is gonna knock him the f*ck out...I think there's still a fight there always between us," Paul said.

'I think he's gonna be in a really dark place'

Paul added, “It's gotta be squashed regardless but I think he's gonna get knocked out by Tommy and go into a hermit hole and like and have a midlife crisis where his ego is like split in half, everything he knows to be his happiness is gonna be crushed and destroyed because of his loss. I think he's gonna be in a really dark place.”

Tommy Fury and KSI were negotiating a fight in Manchester. Later, KSI arrived and put doubt on the bout by accusing Fury of manipulating his weight from 180 pounds to 185 pounds. The fight may soon take place when both parties agree on the weight class, as "Nightmare's" promoter Saureland stated on Twitter.

In February of this year, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury engaged in a boxing battle in Saudi Arabia. The fight ended in a split decision loss for "The Problem Child," ending his undefeated run in boxing. Paul has now bluntly forecast that KSI would do substantially worse.

‘I take every fight seriously’

On August 5th, 2023, former UFC championship candidate Nate Diaz will face Jake Paul inside the squared circle. Originally scheduled for 8 rounds, their fight was increased to 10 at Diaz's request. Jake Paul has developed a reputation for dominating ex-MMA competitors in boxing matches.

The Pat MacAfee Show featured "Stockton's Own," with Paul virtually present. Along with sharing his thoughts on Paul as a combat sports player, he talked about his cardio. Diaz acknowledged that he takes 'The Problem Child' seriously because he doesn't want to lose a round against him, much to his delight.

“I take every fight seriously no matter who it is because it's even worse if it's not somebody as good. So you gotta work harder because they got less to lose but I know that he'd beat former champions then beat these good guys so I'm not f*cking around, I'm not trying to get hit,” he said.
