Jake Paul claims that a fight with KSI would be relatively undemanding with one of the easiest fight camps
Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul has been at loggerheads with UK influencer KSI for quite some time now. His older brother Logan Paul and KSI were amongst the first to spark off the celebrity boxing landscape. Once rivals, the two have now joined hands to create one of the most successful hydration companies in recent times, PRIME. Younger brother Jake is yet to be on good terms with KSI, and views him as a future opponent.
KSI is all set to clash against Alex Wassabi in August. But the ‘Problem Child’ and the UK boxer have been chirping back at each other. From taking digs at each others PPV numbers, to making predictions about a potential bout between the two- both fighters are laying down the foundation of a future fight.
Paul recently spoke to DAZN boxing about the prospect of this bout claiming that a fight against KSI would be like money for old rope. He professed that the preparation camp itself would be smooth sailing, and the fight easy as pie.
Paul said, “I don’t think he ever fights me. Why would he sign up for that risk? He knows what would happen… I wouldn’t even have to train to fight KSI. I could make $20/30million, show up eating pizza and knock him out. Two rounds max.””
While the American has made the claims, he honestly believes that KSI would never sign up to fight him with the fear of loosing.
In one of his episodes of the ‘Impaulsive Podcast’ with venture capitalist, and renowned investor Kevin O’Leary, Logan Paul had discussed about his hydration drink ‘PRIME’. Prime Hydration is a better-for-you hydration option where function and flavor come first. The company is owned by social media superstars, and pioneers of celebrity fighting landscape, Logan Paul and KSI. In the episode, Logan Paul touched upon the huge plans that the company has in the UK. Little did anyone know, that it would involve a deal with one of the biggest sporting clubs in the world, Arsenal FC.
In the UK, KSI is a force to be reckoned with. The Gunners [Arsenal FC] have ended their hunt for a hydration partner, with PRIME coming on board now. It’s a known fact that KSI is a massive fan of Arsenal. As a childhood fan, this partnership would be beyond his wildest dreams.
Speaking about it on Arsenal.com, KSI said, “Honestly, I can’t believe it, this is a childhood dream of mine”
“From watching Arsenal tear up the Premier League in the early 2000s to now being associated with Arsenal officially with PRIME, it’s a dream come true.
“I’m still pinching myself, this is a huge moment and I’m so glad it’s with the team I support.”
Speaking about the partnership, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer, Juliet Slot, added.
“We’re always looking to join forces with new, exciting and forward-thinking brands. PRIME falls comfortably into that category, with a product and founders at the forefront of modern culture.”
