KSI admitted he is not holding his breath over an anticipated grudge fight with Jake Paul and will not wait around for his rival.
The British YouTube, rap and celebrity boxing star in August returned to the ring, winning two farcical fights on the same night.
It followed after his initial opponent Alex Wassabi, 32, pulled out due to a concussion suffered in sparring.
Paul, 25, offered to step in a replace Wassabi but KSI, 29, rejected him and instead proposed a mega-fight at Wembley next year.
But he fears the American could KO the idea by acting up at the negotiation table.
KSI told Men’s Health: “The plan is, it’s still on. But it’s not going to be as easy as everyone thinks it is.
“There’s going to be a lot of back and forth, a lot of negotiations. I’m not holding my breath.”
Paul returns next weekend in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his biggest fight to date.
The Brazilian will also be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record, having had four wins and one loss in the ring.
For KSI, he is set to return on January 14 with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, who he beat in 2019, on the undercard.

The Londoner could then target the anticipated grudge match with his great rival but refuses to put all his eggs in one basket.
KSI said: “I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m just waiting for him. If he’s down and we get the contract right, then it’s a go.
“But if he’s going to make this whole situation very long, then I’m just going to find other opponents until he decides to get his s*** together.
“He just wants to fight people that he knows he’s going to beat. He’s not that great. I like the illusion people think he’s way better than me.”
