JAKE PAUL has been offered THREE dates and venues to fight KSI, it has been claimed.
The bitter YouTube rivals were in negotiations to finally settle their score at the end of the year.
But those plans took a hit after Paul suffered defeat for the first time in the ring, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia in February.
The American now looks set to exercise his rematch clause with a sequel planned for the summer.
That is despite KSI’s manager Mams Taylor urging him to forget about Fury to instead focus on the planned grudge match.
So much so that, according to IfnBoxing, Taylor offered the Paul team three dates and locations to fight KSI this year.

But the self-proclaimed Problem Child has already spoken out to say he has no interest in fighting KSI until after rematching Fury.
He said on his brother Logan’s podcast: “Talk is cheap.
“Let’s just hope he gets into the ring and we can settle all the s*** talk there after I go back and avenge this loss to Tommy Fury.”
KSI, 29, is in talks to return on May 13 in London against millionaire businessman-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier.

And he revealed plans to fight again in August and then December before RETIRING from the sport.
KSI wants to face the winner between Paul, 26, and Fury, 23, but warned he could walk away from his American rival.
He tweeted: “At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury.
“Jake Paul is being long with negotiations.”
