KSI issued a warning to Jake Paul this weekend, telling the American he was ready to “deal with” him later this year.
Talking to boxing society shortly after he knocked out Faze Temperrr by one round, ‘The Nightmare’ issued a positive response to a social media taunt from Paul while outlining his lofty ambitions for the right Mr. Misfits.
“Now that’s it – December. I want another fight and then Jake, that’s always been the goal. It’s always just to hype that war and hype Misfits.
I want Misfits to be as big as WWE and UFC. And then there’s Jake Paul, I want him to be straightforward, simple.
Paul used his official Twitter account to give feedback on the fight, saying he’s glad KSI won because, in ‘Problem Kid’ parlance, it means his transatlantic opponents will be more inclined to agree to face him.
I like it when KSI wins because it gives him more confidence to actually get in the ring with me.

The match between this pair is by far the biggest in the world of cross boxing, with the real animosity that seems to exist between the two arguably the biggest names on social media.
KSI has played Jake’s brother Logan twice, being held to a draw in 2018 before overcoming ‘The Maverick’ in their 2019 rematch.
Since then, the two have exhausted the beef and together established a successful business, but the love between KSI and Jake has not lost.
A few names have emerged as potential competitors for KSI’s spring day, including Joe Founier, Tyron Woodley and Slim Albaher, who beat DJ Tom Zanetti in the co-main event at Wembley Arena on Saturday night.
