Now on the What’s Good Podcast, KSI called out Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. KSI, 30, said: “The Jake fight, the Tommy fight as well, let’s do the rematch. READ MORE IN BOXING”There could always be Mayweather, Conor McGregor. It has to be top tier.” KSI has history with all four men and here SunSport delves into his storied past with the rivals. Jake Paul The feud goes back to 2019 when KSI beat Paul’s brother by split-decision and the American, 27, vowed to avenge the loss.

But KSI was incensed by Mayweather’s disrespectful antics and called to avenge his brother down the line.
