But at the start of the year, he spoke out to reveal he will fight again with a summer return eyed. Now on the What’s Good Podcast, KSI called out Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. KSI, 30, said: “The Jake fight, the Tommy fight as well, let’s do the rematch. READ MORE IN BOXING”There could always be Mayweather, Conor McGregor. It has to be top tier.” KSI has history with all four men and here SunSport delves into his storied past with the rivals. Jake Paul The feud goes back to 2019 when KSI beat Paul’s brother by split-decision and the American, 27, vowed to avenge the loss. But in the years since, the two have failed to agree terms to fight and have instead gone their separate ways.
