      But the foes turned friends in the years since following the launch of their popular drinks company Prime.
      Jake, however, has not forgiven or forgotten his own rivalry with KSI, fuelling demand for a bitter bout.
      But KSI believes his older brother Logan is not so keen on the idea.
      He said on Viddal Riley’s YouTube channel: “I even feel like Logan doesn’t want me to fight Jake, because he knows how hard I train.

      “He knows I’m relentless, Logan has fought me and he knows how long it is.
      “Even if you have everything on me, there is that little bit inside of me that never gives up.
      “Having to fight that and put your all into fighting this guy but he’s still coming forward, it’s terrifying.”
      KSI, 30, returns to the ring on October 14 against Tommy Fury, who beat Jake in Saudi Arabia in February.

      Logan, 28, features on the undercard against Conor McGregor’s training partner Dillon Danis.
      Jake, 26, is set to be ringside for the event after claiming KSI is doing everything he can to avoid their proposed fight.
      He told Twitch streamer Adin Ross: “It’s gonna happen, it I mean it has to happen. It has to happen, we’ll make it happen, for sure.
      “I’ve been trying to do it, man. He then goes online and like lies about it. Certain clauses and stuff.
      “What happens in boxing is if they don’t really want to do it, they just hide behind all these crazy clauses to make it seem like it’s the contract that’s holding everything up but really it’s the person who doesn’t want to do it.
      “And it’s like look, I’ve fought everybody, every single time. Anyone who asks to fight me, I did the deal, I made it happen.
      “They want ten round? OK, cool. They want this? OK, let’s f***ing do it. So I make these fights happen back to back to back to back for past three-and-a-half years.
      “And people think that I’m the one that wouldn’t make it happen? It’s like, come on guys let’s be realistic here.

      “And I told them, I’ll do it in the UK, you can be the A-side, I don’t give a f*** about any of that.
      “So it’s like, where is the contract hold up? Oh no, you just don’t want to do it.”

      And it wasn’t long before Ross – who has teased a fight in the influencer boxing scene – wanted to share the ring with Paul.
      But he soon regretted it as he found himself taking punishing but controlled shots from The Problem Child.
      Paul, 26, let Ross – who is a vocal and public supporter of well-known misogynist Andrew Tate – throw several jabs before brutalising him to the body with hooks and uppercuts.
      And after nearly eight minutes of playing around, the former Disney star grew tired and dropped Ross with a big left hook to the liver.

      Fans of the duo were quick to comment on the viral clip, with one saying: “I’ll give Adin props for at least taking a few minor blows.”
      Another said: “This was crazy.”
      And another said: “Respect for trying.”
      One remarked: “Bro going his hardest on 120-pound kid.”

      Paul was last in action in August against former UFC superstar Nate Diaz, who he locked horns with in a ten-rounder.
      He got back to winning ways with a unanimous decision victory over the fan favourite, somewhat removing the bitter taste of defeat to Tommy Fury from his mouth.
      In his post-fight interview, he said: “I knocked him down, won basically every round.
      “I think he won one round but he’s a warrior.
      “I had him hurt in the first round, he kept on coming.
      “All credit to my team, my conditioning, going ten rounds in my eighth fight, it’s unheard of.
      “I’ve only been boxing for three years, he’s a UFC legend, I was watching this kid growing up.”

      Inside the Sidemen’s side hustles making them millions away from YouTube from property mogul to merchandise sales

      by

      THE SIDEMEN are a collection of Britain’s seven biggest YouTube stars. Across their channels, viral sensations KSI, Miniminter, Vikkstar123, Zerkaa, Behzinga, W2S and TBJZL have built up a huge fan base of over 130million subscribers.

      Thanks to this, the group have a net worth of over £44million.
      But their fortune does not only come from YouTube, though ad revenue on the site does reportedly bring in at least £1.6m a year.
      The business savvy Sidemen have also dipped their toes into a host of other projects.
      One branch of this merchandising is through clothing.
      READ MORE ON THE SIDEMEN
      Clothing is estimated to bring in up to £1.6m.
      And it is not hard to see why, with Sidemen branded T-shirts reaching up £30, hoodies reaching £60 and jackets reaching as high as £90.
      Accessories are also an easy sale tap.
      Fans can buy a variety of goods, with a key ring fetching £5 while a “XIX Silver Chain” will cost £30.

      Airpod cases, water bottles, phone cases, bucket hats, backpacks and even a basketball and table tennis set are among the other items fans can treat themselves too.
      However, clothing is far from the last thing in the Sidemen portfolio.
      Property is a huge part of a number of their collections too, with Miniminter and Vikkstar123 having a particularly large stake of their wealth in various properties.
      Indeed, fans get literally sink their teeth into some tasty treats thanks to the groups very own fast food chain, Sides.
      While KSI and Logan Paul have taken the world by storm by their PRIME Hydration drink – making Alisha Lehmann the latest big name star to join the crew – Sides is at a far smaller stage of development.
      Last year they announced a stunning partnership with Farnham Town FC – who currently play in the ninth tier of English football.

      The chain has a host of restaurants across England and South Wales, including BOXPARK Croydon and Wembley in London, Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester and Sunderland.
      Given they have been around for a decade now, they have also added XIX Vodka to their portfolio to appeal to their older demographic of fans.
      For book worms there is also the Sidemen Book, estimated to have sold over 26,000 copies within its first three days of publication back in 2016.
      This remarkably put them at No1 ahead of chef Jamie Oliver and the autobiography of former motorcycle rider Guy Martin in the Christmas book charts.
      There is also a subscription service called Side+ for exclusive content not posted elsewhere.
      Read More on The Sun
      A membership for this sets fans back £6.99 a month or £69.99 for an annual payment.
      All eyes will be on them and their friends when the Sidemen Charity Match gets underway this Saturday. More

      During his childhood, he almost had the chance to shine in front of a scout, but because of a clash of fixtures, he missed out while team-mate Jonathan Bond got signed.

      Bond, 30, went on to have a career in the professional game with clubs such as Watford, West Brom and Reading.
      He is now playing for MLS outfit LA Galaxy alongside the likes of Javier Hernandez and Douglas Costa.
      Simon however, just wishes he had played in that game so he would know if he could have earned a spot at an academy.
      He told the What’s Good Podcast: “I’m salty I was not signed when I was four, I think I could have made it.

      “I have never had a scout watch me play, I know I am not good enough now at all, but at school level I never had a scout watch me play.
      “The scout that watched Jonathan Bond play that game he watched we had a club and school tournament on the same day.
      “We had me, Jonathan Bond and two other mates that played for the club and the school.
      “The club and school came together because they were both big occasions and agreed to take two each.
      “Me and one of my mates played for the club and then the other played for the school.
      “Jonathan Bond got scouted there as well as another game, but my thing is I wish I was there so I would known I would not have been scouted.
      “Now it is like, what if I played that game, I know I was not good enough, but what if I played.
      “I wish I had played that game so I knew.”

      Salt Papi looks unrecognisable after stunning body transformation down to 165 pounds

      And the slimmed down version of PapiCredit: Twitter @HappyPunch
      Papi rose to fame by making TikTok skits during Covid lockdown.
      His name is a play on SaltBae, and he would often post budget versions of the steak salesman’s video on his page.
      When exploring British takeaways, he would imitate the Turkish chef’s famous technique of pouring salt from above his shoulder with a twist.
      The videos allowed him to slowly build his social media following until he had over 4.2million followers on TikTok and a total 125.8 million likes across all of his videos.
      READ MORE SPORT NEWS
      His life changed dramatically when he fought Hamad Khan in March 2022.
      Boxing slowly became Papi’s passion, and it saw him lose a whopping 165lbs.
      After beating Khan, he then took part in KSI’s boxing event and faced Andy Warski on August 27.
      Salt Papi knocked out Warski – who was making his debut – inside 15 seconds at the O2 Arena.

      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
      This caught the eye of a fellow social media star, Logan Paul who within seconds of Salt Papi’s win he tweeted: “Salt Papi vs Jake Paul.”
      Salt Papi also impressed Chris Eubank Jr who said: “The guy went to sleep, incredible.
      “If you look at him, he looks like he works a nine-to-five at a cheese factory, so to see him come out there, moonwalk, dance, lick his lips and then knock a guy out, that’s box office right there.”
      He knocked out Josh Brueckner in January 2023.
      And far from looking like he does a “nine-to-five at a cheese factory” as Eubank said, he now looks unrecognisably slim.
      But he will be looking to bounce back from his last time out in the ring, when he lost to Anthony Taylor, a professional boxer who had previously fought Tommy Fury.
      Papi had made considerable waves in the YouTube boxing sphere, and actually went into the fight as a slight favourite.
      However, Taylor’s experience proved to be too much.
      Papi will be hoping his slimmed down physique will lead to even better performances the next time he enters the ring. More
