The controversial clash has now been rescheduled to November 15 – with Tyson claiming he is better than ever. But KSI is not so convinced as he blamed a weight disagreement for preventing their bitter grudge match. He told SunSport: “Jake’s just getting heavier and heavier and heavier, obviously, because he’s just looking at the Mike Tyson fight – which I still don’t think is gonna happen.READ MORE IN BOXING“I think they’re gonna try and make an ordeal, and then eventually Mike will realise he actually can’t fight, and then I don’t know what they’re gonna do then.“But for me, the Jake fight, I’m just gonna wait. I don’t really need to chase him, eventually he’s gonna have no other options, but to have to come to me.“He’s just not trying to get involved. He’s in a bit of an awkward situation, so I think for him it’s probably easier if he just leaves it.”Ex-UFC star and bare-knuckle boxing champion Mike Perry, 32, filled in to replace Tyson but was floored three times and stopped in six by Paul.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBut KSI goaded that it was a box office flop compared to his pay-per-view events.

So after I got injured, I was just like, how can I still be a part of this next Misfits?“So I thought you know what, why not just perform. So I feel like my audience still get to see me somewhat perform obviously not boxing, but doing music.READ MORE SUN STORIES“And also just get to see me in general.
