      KSI had wanted to fight Paul at the end of 2023 but those plans took a hit after the American’s loss to Tommy Fury.
      It has left the British social media, music and crossover boxing star to hit out at his great nemesis.
      KSI said in a Twitter Space: “They look like they just want to do the rematch or they want to look for another opponent.
      “It doesn’t seem like they are keen to fight me any time soon, which is funny because he was the guy who said I was ducking.

      “But, I’m not ducking anyone, man. I’ve literally told everyone the reason why I came back into boxing was to fight Jake Paul.
      “And now he doesn’t want to fight me.”
      KSI, 29, beat Paul’s brother Logan, 27, in their 2019 rematch after drawing a year beforehand.
      And although the two are now business partners with hydration drink Prime, the bad blood is still brewing with brother Jake.

      KSI has won three times since returning to the ring but Paul, 26, was recently beaten in Saudi Arabia on points by Fury, 23.
      It looks to have put a dent in KSI’s hopes of facing the self-proclaimed Problem Child this year.
      His manager Mams Taylor claimed talks were going back and forth with Paul’s team with Wembley even booked for the fight.
      Taylor said: “Jake has the contract. It’s not in our hands.
      “We redlined it, sent it back to him, he redlined it, sent it back to us, we redlined it, sent it back to him.
      “And now the ball’s in his court but I did get a call from Jake’s team saying, ‘Hey, Jake’s not going to fight KSI in the summer,’ like we wanted.
      “Because, he’s some excuses, whatever. Basically he doesn’t want to fight KSI, he wants to fight other people.
      “So, all that s*** about, ‘I’ll fight him tomorrow,’ and all that stuff, well we booked Wembley Stadium, we were ready and he’s the one that backed out.”

      Tommy Fury called out by Viddal Riley as YouTube and boxing star questions Love Islander’s world title ambitions

      by

      VIDDAL RILEY has called out Tommy Fury as he tries to force a fight with the former Love Island star. Riley, who previously coached YouTuber KSI, has made it clear he wants to fight Fury because of the pair’s tight WBC rankings.
      Viddal Riley is ranked at 40 in the WBC rankings
      Fury achieved a ranking of 38 following his pay-per-view bout with the controversial Jake Paul which he won on points after eight rounds.
      Riley, ranked 40, took to YouTube to call out the 23-year-old whist poking at his ambitions to become a world champion in the process.
      He said: “I’m ranked number 40, Tommy is actually ranked 38, I’ve seen him say in multiple interviews: ‘My goal is to be a world champion’.
      “He preaches that he wants to be a world champion. I am not currently world championship quality. I have the potential to be – and I will get there – but as it stands I’m not.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “So if you have aspirations of being a world champion, as do I, we are close in ranking, it would be a massive fight, the people would turn out. People would turn out for you.
      “People would turn out for me. If that’s your aspiration, why look anywhere else?”
      Riley has an undefeated record himself and has won five of his eight fights by knockout.
      The cruiser-weight fighter went on in his video to suggest that Fury doesn’t want the battle.

      He said: “I’ve mentioned [Fury’s] name multiple times and I’ve never heard a response which can only be for one reason,
      “I’ve always said I’m going to be a world champion, I’m going to reach the top and you don’t go from zero or not recognised to number one.
      “There’s a process. The fact that I’m now ranked number 40 in the world with a professional boxing governing body means that I am en route.”
      Fury, who is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, could still have to fight Jake Paul again with a rematch still an option.
      The Manchester born TV personality is yet to respond to the call out made by Riley. More

      ‘I’d actually win that fight’ – Jake Paul called out by Eddie Hearn as 43-year-old promoter fancies his chances

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has called out Jake Paul and fancies his chances in a fight. The promoter and YouTuber-turned boxer have gone back and forth in the past despite working together.

      And after watching Paul suffer defeat for the first time, against Tommy Fury, 43-year-old Hearn backs himself to beat the American.
      He was asked by DAZN who he would rather manage, fight and party with out of Paul, Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor.
      Hearn responded: “I’d definitely fight Jake Paul because I’d actually win that fight.
      “I’d manage Katie Taylor, because we’ve done such a great job. She is amazing, and it’s a Puerto Rican party with Amanda Serrano.” 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Paul, 26, promoted Serrano’s historic undisputed fight with Taylor, 36, last April alongside Hearn.
      And the women’s boxing stars were set to rematch in May until Serrano, 34, was forced to withdraw.
      It gives Paul more time to recover from his loss to Fury, 23, in Saudi Arabia amid rumours of a rematch.
      But Hearn advised his promotional partner to look elsewhere in his boxing return.

      He said: “For me, the rematch, I know people will watch it, but we’ve seen what they are, which is not very good.
      “We can’t keep debating that this guy is actually any good, he’s not. Just do one thing, fight KSI, it’s absolutely massive.
      “Because the reality is any time you fight anyone with any ability, you will get beat.”

      by

      Conor McGregor, 34, revealed he could be in attendance as he eyes a shot at the 170lb belt.
      But one man who will not be in town is YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, 26, who has long rivalled UFC boss Dana White.
      The American was at UFC 261 in April 2021 and hit the headlines after the arena was filled with chant of “f*** Jake Paul.”
      But according to the man himself, UFC president White was left fuming and banned him from ever attending events again.

      Paul said on his podcast last October: “I’m banned from UFC events.
      “Dana banned me after [the fans] were shouting ‘f** Jake Paul in a stadium,’ and I tried to go to a different fight and all of our tickets were declined, banned.”
      Paul has hit out at White in the past and accused the promoter of underpaying his stars and failing to provide them with healthcare.
      But his older brother Logan, 27, recently signed a deal to see his Prime hydration drink sponsor the UFC.

      Although Logan recently claimed Paul’s feud with White is not personal.
      He said: “Again, you’re just playing a game, and here’s my theory: if Jake is able to identify a target to further his agenda of fighter pay, [that’s] the way to do it.
      “Like, if you can identify a common enemy, unite everyone against that person, [then] you’re furthering your own agenda.”

      Dan Hardy has signed on with PFL Europe
      Paul, 26, is due to head up a “super-fight” series which will also host his debut in the cage.
      Ex-UFC title challenger Hardy – now on board with PFL Europe – joked that he would be the perfect opponent for the American.
      He told talkSPORT: “If he wants an opponent in MMA, I’m ideal.
      “I’m 40, I’ve been out of it for ten years now, my takedown defence sucks, my wrestling is terrible, I’ve got no ground game and I love a punch up.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “If he’s looking for an opponent in MMA, I mean, I’m probably a safer bet than Tyron Woodley. You would think, right?”
      Paul has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, during his career.
      But in his first bout against a professional boxer, he was beaten, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 23.
      The pair are rumoured to be lined up for a rematch, which could backdate Paul’s debut in the PFL cage.

      Hardy said: “I’ve spoken with Jake Paul’s manager a couple of times for various different reasons.
      “So, I am in contact with the camp, but we’ll see what happens.
      “I think he’s planning another boxing match first and I think he’ll be doing a lot more promotional work than competing with the PFL.”

      But Logan did his best to try and goad his brother’s opponent during an interview mid-fight.
      In full voice, he shouted: “Tommy, if you can hear me, you a b****, bro and you’re gassing out.
      “You a b****, the whole Fury family are a b****.”
      Fury, 23, responded in the best way possible by dominating Jake, 26, that round on his way to a points win.

      “What I was trying to do was – because I was on the mic – and you can hear it in the arena and I knew Tommy was sitting in his corner.
      “And Jake was losing, so I just tried to talk s*** and get in Tommy’s head. The issue is, it just p***ed him off.

      “Because the round started and he just f***ing unleashed a gnarly combination on Jake. I was like, ‘I just made him mad.'”
      Fury’s dad John was also left fuming with Logan’s comments and accused the YouTube star of looking for attention by any means necessary.
      John told The Express, via Free Bets: “Absolutely disgusting.
      “Him piping up in a fight like that is not professional, but it just shows you that you are dealing with adolescent children, aren’t you?
      “Because the comments during the fight are just ridiculous. That’s not professional.
      “It doesn’t work, it’s bad for the viewers, it’s bad for everybody involved in it, in the game.
      “But it is what it is, they are what they are, they’re YouTubers. They’ll do anything.
      “They’ll give their left nut up for a viewing figure and he obviously thought it would enhance his status as a YouTuber coming out with all that stupidity. But we knew it was coming anyway.” More
