KSI has given a ‘final offer’ to Jake Paul in an attempt to persuade his long-term rival to finally step in the ring with him.
The two social media stars have been exchanging words ever since KSI beat Paul’s brother Logan in 2019, with the pair since going onto become good friends and launch hydration company ‘Prime’.
It had seemed Jake would try to avenge his brother soon after, but both he and KSI have continued their boxing careers since with just one loss to each of their names, both coming against Tommy Fury.
They are both set to step back into the ring soon, but it again won’t be against each other, with time running out in terms of maintaining interest in the fight.
KSI has, meanwhile taken the social media to address his bitter rival and give him another offer for the pair to step inside the ring and settle their differences next year.

‘May 2025, it gives you all the time in the world to be ready and we can do it in America, just to make you that bit more happy.
‘But that is that when it comes to giving you advantages. I mean first of all we agreed to fight at 180lbs and then you decided to run away and fight Nate Diaz instead.
‘Then you came back and wanted a fight at 185lb and then decided 200lbs. You know what Jake, I am tired of this bulls***, get off the cycle and lets make this work.
