      ‘I’m not holding my breath’ – KSI fears Jake Paul will talk himself out of 2023 fight and WON’T wait for YouTube rival

      by

      KSI admitted he is not holding his breath over an anticipated grudge fight with Jake Paul and will not wait around for his rival. The British YouTube, rap and celebrity boxing star in August returned to the ring, winning two farcical fights on the same night.

      Jake Paul offered to fight KSI this year
      It followed after his initial opponent Alex Wassabi, 32, pulled out due to a concussion suffered in sparring.
      Paul, 25, offered to step in a replace Wassabi but KSI, 29, rejected him and instead proposed a mega-fight at Wembley next year.
      But he fears the American could KO the idea by acting up at the negotiation table.
      KSI told Men’s Health: “The plan is, it’s still on. But it’s not going to be as easy as everyone thinks it is.

      “There’s going to be a lot of back and forth, a lot of negotiations. I’m not holding my breath.”
      Paul returns next weekend in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his biggest fight to date.
      The Brazilian will also be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record, having had four wins and one loss in the ring.
      For KSI, he is set to return on January 14 with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, who he beat in 2019, on the undercard.

      The Londoner could then target the anticipated grudge match with his great rival but refuses to put all his eggs in one basket.
      KSI said: “I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m just waiting for him. If he’s down and we get the contract right, then it’s a go.
      “But if he’s going to make this whole situation very long, then I’m just going to find other opponents until he decides to get his s*** together.
      “He just wants to fight people that he knows he’s going to beat. He’s not that great. I like the illusion people think he’s way better than me.”

      Jake Paul KICKS girlfriend Julia Rose out from camp so he can ‘train like a caged animal’ for Anderson Silva fight

      by

      And as the fight draws closer, the YouTuber-turned boxer starts to dial in even more – but it comes at the cost of seeing his partner.
      Paul, 25, said on his podcast: “Julia is not here, she got kicked out of training camp because we’re not allowed to have girls around.
      “Just to like build up that dog mentality and to lock in and really train like a caged animal.
      “Because, when you’re around a girl there’s a neurochemical called oxytocin that’s released and it makes you relaxed, it makes you more comfortable.

      “And for fights you need to be on edge. So Julia is not here today, I love you Julia, if you’re watching. We’re going to miss you.”
      Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
      That added to KOs over online rival “AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.
      Woodley only filled on under two weeks’ notice after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out of his grudge match against Paul with a rib injury.

      The celeb mega-fight was rescheduled for August in New York – but that was soon KOd when Fury suffered US visa issues.
      Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed as a substitute, only for lightening to strike twice, this time due to a weight disagreement.
      So Paul has had an agonising ten month wait to get back in the ring but claimed it has been a blessing it disguise.
      He told Showtime: “I believe there is a higher power guiding my boxing career.
      “I feel like I’ve had a really rough run; last-minute opponent changes, all types of stuff, people not wanting to make weight.
      “These moments with fighters pulling out, maybe it’s all happening for a reason.
      “If anything, I’ve just had so many more months training in secrecy, getting better and better and better.”

      Fury is open to trying for a THIRD time and will even fight fellow social media fighter KSI, 29, on the same night.
      He told SecondsOut: “I’ve said all along I’d fight the both of them on the same night.

      “When they finally get in the ring with me, I cannot wait to show everybody that what I was saying all along is true, it isn’t a fight for me.
      “If you’re going to ask me to fight a YouTuber, KSI, who plays Fifa on the internet for a living and Jake Paul who does whatever he does, sign me up, not a problem.
      “He’s very lucky that them fights haven’t come off yet. I don’t know what the other one KSI is mentioning my name for because he’s even worse than Jake Paul, so I don’t really know what’s going on.
      “Two fools that need shutting up, so let me tend to my actual business first against actual fighting men and then I will happily get them out of boxing.”

      It was revealed last year Paul made £30MILLION from boxing alone, averaging £10m a fight.
      And he predicts 700,000 pay-per-view buys for the toughest fight of his career against Silva, 47, which makes around £45m in box office receipts alone.

      He had been heavily linked with a fight against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury – who even flew to Iceland in August to goad the strongman into a clash.
      But now Bjornsson has confirmed he is hanging up the gloves, claiming he never truly loved the sport.
      Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: “I’ll admit there was a time when there was talks between Tyson Fury and I, his team and my team, there was build-up but that never went through.
      “Now I’ve made a hard decision and the reason why it took me so long to make this video was because this is actually a very difficult thing to talk about.

      “I’ve made a decision to move on from boxing, to not compete in boxing again, to say goodbye to boxing and just not fight again.
      “I had a good run, I did it for two-and-a-half years. It was nice to do so, because when I first started I had a lot of people not believing in me.”
      He continued: “I proved a lot of people wrong by working hard and I made some people proud.
      “In reality, the passion was never there, it was all grind as I never really loved the sport.

      “That’s just the truth, but I have a lot of respect for the sport because I know how much work goes into it.”
      Bjornsson, who won the World’s Strongest Man contest in 2018, will now focus on surpassing a landmark he set three years ago.
      In 2019, the Scandinavian broke the world record for throwing a 25kg weight over a 20-foot-tall bar.
      And speaking about his future, he said: “It was like ‘what should I do?’ Spend the last few years as an athlete doing something I don’t love, or should I focus on my businesses and the things that I love, like lifting weights?

      “I have two new goals, I have two new cats and I want to break one of my world records.
      “The world record I’m trying to beat is the weight over the bar with 25kg. My record is 20 feet and two inches, so I have to beat that to break my own record.”
