‘I’m SO much better’ – KSI on a mission to show the world he is superior boxer to YouTube rival Jake Paul


KSI is on a mission to prove he is a better boxer than arch rival Jake Paul, as talk of a grudge match continues.

The British YouTube, rap and celebrity fighting star returned to the ring in August, winning TWO farcical bouts on the same night.

KSI, 29, is set to fight again at the start of the new year but revealed his ultimate ambition is to settle the score with Paul, 25.

He said on DAZN: “January, I’ve got a few opponents on my mind.

“Bro, I just want somebody to fight me, I want someone to properly give me a go.

“But I’m ready, man. My main goal to come back is to fight Jake Paul. That’s the main reason. That’s always the goal.

“Everything else I’m doing is just side quests, it’s just me having fun and showing the world why I’m so much better than Jake Paul.

“Like SO much better.”

KSI beat rapper Swarmz, 25, and so-called pro boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on his comeback night.

Paul returns himself on October 29 in Arizona, against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47.

It will also be his first opponent to hold a recognised boxing record, with Silva 4-1 in the ring.

Paul has previously beaten KSI’s friend “AnEsonGib”, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, as well as retired UFC pair Ben Askren, 38 and Tyron Woodley, 40.

The American wants to avenge the loss his brother Logan, 27, suffered to KSI in their 2019 rematch, a year after drawing.

And according to KSI’s manager Mams Taylor, Paul could get his wish next year.

Taylor told Christian HD: “As long as there’s no f***ery on the contracts, 2023 that fight will happen.

“Guaranteed as much as you can guarantee. I can guarantee from our side, yes.”
