He said: “Once again I’m seeing Jake Paul s**t all over the internet. You offered Paddy Pimblett a million pound to spar.

“You offered Tyson a million-pound bet about some b****cks or other. But you don’t want to pay me much more to have a fight.
“Well I’ll go one better than that cause it’s gone past money for me now – I’m not bothered.
“I’ll fight you for free in Manchester or London, next month. Not a problem. So let’s see how game you are.
“Promoters get nothing whose trying to take everything, me and you get nothing, all proceeds will go to charity.
“I just want to fight you and put an end to you, because all this money and everything – it’s gone on too long. Take it or leave it.”
SunSport has previously reported that February 25 could be the date the two rivals enter the squared circle to dance. More

The social media, music and crossover boxing star wants an end of year blockbuster with Paul, to finally settle their score in the ring.
KSI said: “I need to be tested. I need more tests until I reach the final hurdle, Jake motherf****** Paul.
“That’s the end-game ladies and gentlemen, I said I wanted him at the end of the year and I will get him, trust.”
Paul’s brother Logan, 27, who lost to KSI in their 2019 rematch before now becoming business partners, captured the callout.

And he pointed the camera to Jake, who said: “I’m shivering with fear.”
KSI, 29, has talked up a summer return to the ring to further prepare himself for a grudge match against Paul, 25.
Ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, and nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 39, are among the opponents in consideration.
But KSI has maintained he will walk away for good once he finishes business with his greatest enemy.

Paul hit back: “I love when KSI wins because it gives him more confidence for him to actually get in the ring with me.”
The American most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October to move to 6-0.
He is now in rumoured talks to face Tommy Fury, 23, in February in Manchester following two failed attempts to fight.

The rapper, 26, was mocked for his unorthodox and inexperienced style but vowed to prove the doubters wrong.
And he did so in controversial style as a jab in the first round left Taylor, 29, with swelling so bad the referee deemed him unable to continue.
Per the rules, as the shot was a punch and not an accidental blow – such as a headbutt or elbow – Swarmz was declared the winner.
He said: “It was a jab, a touch, we’ll call it a little touch.

“But you know what? I’ve been working hard for this, everyone saw me get battered against KSI, making fun of me calling me a ballerina.
“It’s been playing on my mind and I had to get redemption.”
Swarmz, 26, called out Deji, 26, the brother to KSI, 29, who was sitting ringside, as well as YouTuber King Kenny.
He said: “Next fight I’m ready. Where’s Deji? Where’s Kenny?”

Swarmz added: “All the respect. I worked hard, Kenny and Deji, very good. they’re top of the game, good fighters.
“That’s what I’m trying to do, to prove myself. I do respect them. I can’t wait for it to happen.”
Swarmz now moves to 1-1 as a crossover boxer following his win on KSI’s undercard.

Negotiations are underway behind the scenes, but KSI has not been shy of revealing his terms in the open.
He told talkSPORT: “Ideal scenario is to fight at this weight, 177.5lbs, or I might push it to 180lbs, that’s ideal for me.
“I want it to be in the UK. In terms of a split, I’ll be fair 50/50, I don’t want to be a d***. I think that’s reasonable.
“But, I have to be first on the bill, it has to be KSI vs Jake Paul and I walk in last.”

KSI, 29, returns to the ring tonight at Wembley Arena against gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, and does so at 175lb.
Paul’s last fight, a win over 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva, was at a career-lowest 187lb.
So it means he would need to come down in weight to meet KSI, who would be putting size on.
And while splitting the prize money down the middle seems fair enough, the location of the bout could strike problems.

There is more money to be made in America, which Paul, 25, is ready to capitalise on unless an agreement is soon struck.
He tweeted: “I sent KSI and his team a contract over a month ago. I offered to come to the UK, 185 pounds and 10 rounds.
“I have been at 8 rounds since Askren. He and his team have yet to respond.
“The offer was / is to come to the UK in December 2023. If he doesn’t respond next week after his show, then it’s going to have to be in the US.”
Paul has also in the past confirmed he is willing to concede terms as the B-side, allowing KSI to walk in last and be named on the posters first.
The fierce feud dates back to 2018, when KSI’s brother Deji, 26, was beaten by the American.
On the same night, KSI also drew with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, but won the rematch a year later when they turned professional.
The KSI and Logan are now friends and business partners following the successful launch of hydration drink Prime.
But there is no love lost for Paul, who has since gone 6-0 in the period of KSI’s boxing absence.
