The YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul went after KSI for setting up a sparring match with online streamer IShowSpeed on December 15 in London, the same day he is set to take on Andre August in a cruiserweight boxing match in Orlando. The 26-year-old stated that plans from KSI to counterprogram the event backfired since it brought more conversation to his fight.

KSI and Jake Paul currently have a proposed cruiserweight boxing match on the table, which is expected to take place at the Wembley Stadium in London.

In a viral video on X, Jake Paul talked about how KSI has brought some extra conversation to his fight after signing up for a sparring match with IShowSpeed. He said, “I think he’s doing some sparring match with another influencer. And I feel that the whole thing just has backfired since it’s just brought more conversation to my fight.”

Jake Paul remarked that he is in KSI’s head rent-free after the internet personality announced an event on the same day as his boxing match. He said, “People have two screens you know, like they can watch two things at once. A 30-year-old guy is out there with me on his mind all the time trying to, I guess, take things away from me or mess up my business. And I think it’s funny that I live like rent-free in this kid’s head.”
“He wants to do everything to try to piss me off or annoy me or try to derail my business or to talk shit or to discredit me, he will do everything except fight me,” remarked Jake Paul.
