    One was against Paul’s brother Logan in June 2021, which went the full eight round distance.
    A month beforehand, the YouTuber-turned boxer clashed with Mayweather at a press conference, stealing his hat and sparking a mass brawl.
    It has kept the feud brewing so much so that Paul was confronted by the boxing legend and his entourage after a Miami Heat match.
    Paul was filmed running away from the altercation and later hit out at Mayweather, offering to settle it in the ring with their records on the line.

    He said: “Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his ‘exhibitions’.
    “Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bulls***.”
    Paul, 26, was last month beaten for the first time in seven professional bouts, losing to Tommy Fury, 23.
    The pair are now targeting a rematch in the summer following Fury’s split-decision victory in Saudi Arabia.

    One night before, Mayweather, 46, rolled back the clock against Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers, 35, in his UK boxing debut, with the fight going the full eight rounds.
    Paul has maintained he will only fight the American icon if it is professionally sanctioned with his 50-0 record at stake.
    But the weight disparity makes the bout almost impossible to overcome with Mayweather never weighing more than 11st.
    Meanwhile, Paul was around 13st for his loss to Fury, meaning there is TWO STONE between them.
    The social media sensation in the past has offered to fight Mayweather at 175lb, with his rival coming in at 165lb to bridge the weight gap.

    And the bad blood still continues after Paul claimed Mayweather tried to jump him with an entourage of 50 following a Miami Heat game.
    Paul offered to settle it in the ring after being filmed running away from his rival.
    He said: “Floyd, if you want to run it one-on-one, no problem but I’m not dumb. I’m tough, I don’t need to prove my toughness.
    “But I’m not f*****g dumb, I’m not going to sit there and try fight 50 dudes, dipped out of that bitch.”

    But Paul hit back on his brother Logan’s podcast and urged his bitter YouTube rival to let his fists do the talking.
    He said: “Talk is cheap, because with all that talk and whatever he said, he’s still afraid to sign the contract.
    “He can talk all that s***, but let’s get in the ring, 100 per cent. Talk that s***, let’s sell some f***ing pay-per-views brother.
    “All things considered, I talk a lot of s***, but I back to back to back I schedule these fights and go in the ring and do them, whoever it is, anywhere, anytime, any place.

    “I’ve backed it up and proven that and shown it. He’s hot on Twitter, he’s got the Twitter fingers, but when it comes to actually fighting me, you have been gone, absent, haven’t actually shown up or signed the contract.
    “So, talk is cheap and let’s just hope he gets into the ring and we can settle all of the s*** talk there, after I go back and avenge this loss with Tommy Fury.
    “I’m KSI’s end goal, but for me there’s bigger fights out there, it’s just a pit stop.”
    Paul, 26, was linked with an end of year grudge match to finally settle his score with KSI, 29, between the ropes.

    But the plan looks to have been shelved with the YouTuber-turned boxer set to rematch Fury, 23, in the summer.
    KSI heaped surprise praise on Fury, who was emotionally left in tears after his split-decision victory over Paul in Saudi Arabia.
    He said: “Fair play to Tommy. He’d been tormented for two years straight.
    “Being called ‘Tommy Fumbles’, everyone saying he was trash, saying he’s not a real boxer, saying he’s not going to be able to beat Jake Paul, saying he’s going to buckle under the pressure.
    “But you know what, he came into that ring and slapped up Jake Paul.”
