      KSI in huge body transformation ahead of boxing return as fans say Jake Paul super-fight ‘might actually be on’

      by

      KSI has put on over a STONE ahead of his boxing return – leaving fans convinced a fight with Jake Paul “might actually be on.” The YouTuber-turned-boxer suffered defeat for the first time in October after losing a controversial decision to Tommy Fury. KSI has put on over a stone ahead of his boxing returnCredit: ReutersKSI weighed 183lb (13st) for the fight but according to his coach Alexis Demetriades he has bulked up over a stone to 200lb (14st 2lb). Demetriades told Fred Talks Fighting: “He’s in the region of 200lb. “The bonus is he punches massively hard. Like way harder than he’s ever punched before in his life. “But we’ve now got to have a gas tank to power that 200lb. So you’ve got to trim some of that down so you get what you want out of it.” READ MORE IN BOXINGThe highest KSI has fought in 193lb before he beat Prime bussiness partner Logan Paul in their 2019 rematch. But he has boxed as low as 175lb causing fear he will NEVER fight Logan’s brother Jake, who is preparing to move to heavyweight. Paul, 27, faces boxing icon Mike Tyson, 57, in a controversial clash on July 20 scrutinised over the 30-year age gap. But Demetriades’ reveal over KSI’s weight has fans hoping the grudge match is now a step closer. Most read in BoxingOne said: “KSI vs Jake might actually be on.”Another added: “No excuses then, He fights Jake at 185-190 then.”Jake Paul and KSI brutally digged out by Oleksandr Usyk ahead of Tyson Fury fightThe lightest Paul has weighed was the 183lb he scaled before losing to Fury, 25, in February 2023 which also stands as his only loss. But his last two bouts have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit while he claimed to be at 230lb ahead of his fight with Tyson. Demetriades hinted he would give KSI the green light to face his arch enemy at any weight. He said: “I’ll leave that to the promoters to sort out. As far as I’m concerned, stylistically Jake Paul fits us. “I couldn’t care what weight he’s at. Obviously, we’re going to make it fair because that’s what we should do.” Jake Paul is preparing to fight at heavyweight for the first timeCredit: @jakepaul More

      ‘Money talks’, admits heavyweight boxing icon, 58, after considering shock comeback off heels of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

I’d 100 per cent consider it.”READ MORE IN BOXINGLewis revealed he still stays in shape despite being retired for two decades by jogging and swimming. He said: “I ran five miles this morning, swam a couple of lengths, 100m.
