JAKE PAUL has called out KSI for a fight after Mike Tyson withdrew due to health concerns.
The Problem Child was scheduled to face Tyson on July 20.
However the bout was postponed until later this year after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up and took ill on a flight from Miami to LA this week.
So Paul has called on KSI to take Tyson’s place.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer taunted his long-term rival, claiming he weighs enough to take him on after Paul bulked up to heavyweight level.
Paul called out KSI on X, saying: “KSI’s coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses…

“Let’s run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October/November.”
In a separate tweet, Paul said: “I just gave KSI and his forehead the opportunity again for July. He said he’s fighting in August. Cool.
“I’m fighting in October/November. February it is, 200 lbs, MSG, NYC. Get it done @MostVpromotions.”
Paul and KSI are long-term rivals and have been tipped to fight since both lost to Tommy Fury in the ring.

And Paul believes his potential opponent is suited to a heavyweight clash after KSI underwent a huge body transformation of his own.
KSI’s coach Alexis Demetriades revealed the Brit has put on more than a stone and now weighs 200lb (14st 2lb).
The highest KSI has fought is 193lb when he beat his Prime business partner Logan Paul in their 2019 rematch.
While Paul has fought at the 200lb cruiserweight limit for his last two fights, and claimed to be at 230lb ahead of his fight with Tyson.
