JAKE PAUL ripped into “fake fighter” KSI and warned: Your time is coming.
The bitter YouTube rivals have feuded for years, dating back to KSI’s pair of bouts with Paul’s brother Logan.
They drew in 2018 before KSI won the rematch a year later, but now the two are friends and business partners with Prime hydration.
But Logan’s younger brother still has no love lost for the British star, fuelling demand for the mother of all grudge matches.
And ahead of KSI’s return fight against Joe Fournier, Paul fired a direct callout to his arch nemesis.
He tweeted: “You are such a fake individual. Fake fighter, fake ticket sales, fake opponents, fake rapper, fake human.

“Your time is coming. Believe that.”
The social media sensations looked on course to finally settle their score this year.
But that was until Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
And he snubbed a rematch or talks with KSI, 29, to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.

So KSI has vowed not to wait around for Paul and has instead eyed a fight with Fury next.
And ahead of his bout with millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Fournier, he claimed a deal for the all-English celebrity bout is progressing.
He said: “Yes, we’re close. I’ve been saying this in every interview and people keep saying that it’s cap but then why do I keep saying it?”
