KSI Labels Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fight As “Sad”

by

KSI has taken aim at the recently announced fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. The fight was revealed by Netflix, who will broadcast the fight, and will take place in Dallas in June. Furthermore, the fight, which will likely be fought as an exhibition match, comes in the midst of Paul taking his boxing career more seriously. The last time that Tyson fought was an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.

“Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history. Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas. We are thrilled to partner with Most Valuable Promotions for this historic event and we can’t wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix,” said Gabe Spitzer, VP of Sports Nonfiction at Netflix. The event will be the latest sports offering from the streaming giant. There has been previously been the Netflix Slam for tennis and the Netflix Cup for an F1/PGA crossover.

KSI No Longer Wants Jake Paul Fight, Points To Paul’s Low Ticket Sales

However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Jake Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino was being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability. “This is probably just a break-even fight for me. I probably won’t even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It’s $200,000 for a private jet to fly around just to get me there and back,” Paul previously told TMZ.

Despite this, Paul is clearly looking beyond KSI at this point. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

KSI has announced that he is no longer interested in fighting Jake Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino is already being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability. “This is probably just a break-even fight for me. I probably won’t even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It’s $200,000 for a private jet to fly around just to get me there and back,” Paul previously told TMZ.

There is a lot riding on the fight for Paul. If he wins, the result goes a long way proving that he does belong in the boxing space. However, losing would drop him to 0-2 against established boxers, ending any sort of hope he might have had about establishing a serious career outside his celebrity fights. August is 35 years old and has a 10-1-1 career record. That makes him the most experienced fighter Paul has faced in his career so far. Paul suffered the first loss of his career when he faced his first experienced opponent, Tommy Fury, earlier this year.

Jake Paul Puts Kid Cudi On Blast

However, KSI isn’t the only person that Paul potentially has beef with. Earlier this month, Paul took aim at his fellow Clevelander – Kid Cudi. Paul claimed that he had reached out to Cudi about performing at his 2021 fight against Tyron Woodley. However, Cudi’s fee was just too much for Paul to afford. “I tried to get him to perform at the Tyron Woodley fight just before I came out and he asked for like, an astronomical fee that was like, ‘F-ck you.’ I get it, but it’s like, this was like some sh-t to tap in back with the city. Like, first event back from Covid,” Paul explained.

Furthermore, Cudi later responded. “As far as Jake Paul, listen chief, Im an artist. A real one. I make art for a living. Im not some guy that comes out to perform at boxing matches. I entertained it tho cuz it was u, and tho it went against what I stand for I submitted a fee. My fee is my fee. Especially for some sh-t thats not my style. If im gonna do it its gonna be worth it for my pockets and time. This is business baby. Im not these other rappin a– n-ggas that will show up for a lil check. U came to me u shoulda knew what time it was young man. U dont know me either to say im anything broski. So theres that. Ok, these are my thoughts,” Cudi tweeted.

Logan Paul & KSI Announce 1 Billion Bottles Of PRIME Sold

by

PRIME, the energy drink owned by Logan Paul and KSI, has reportedly sold 1 billion units. “We’ve officially sold 1,000,000,000 bottles — a hydration milestone we couldn’t have reached without you. Thank you for making PRIME the fastest growing beverage in history,” the drink’s official account wrote on social media. The milestone was reached in just 22 months, after Paul and KSI launched the brand in January 2022. While popular, it has been panned by many critics for it’s foul taste. Gordon Ramsay gave the drink a 0/10 rating after it comparing it to “swallowing perfume”.

“What is life” Paul wrote on his own account, seemingly stunned at his own brand’s successful. However, PRIME has become a major part of all of Paul’s endeavors. During one of this WWE events, he participated in a skit that saw KSI dress up like a giant bottle of PRIME. Meanwhile, their recent joint boxing card was officially dubbed “The PRIME Card” by broadcaster DAZN. If Logan Paul or KSI is involved in something, it’s a fair bet that PRIME is involved as well.

Not The Easiest Road For PRIME

However, things have been pretty tough for the brand. Back in July, PRIME was the subject of a Canadian recall before the drink was even available in the country. Health Canada added PRIME Energy to a list of recalled beverages, citing the drink’s high caffeine content. Paul attributed the recall to “Illegal or unauthorized imports.” The YouTubers also stated that their plans to eventually release a version of PRIME that is compliant with Canadian regulations.

However, it’s not the only controversy surrounding the brand. Senator Chuck Schumer called the drink a “serious health concern” after it was reported that a 12oz can in the United States contains 200mg of caffeine. Furthermore, in May, a child in the United Kingdom suffered cardiac arrest after consuming a can of PRIME. The UK variant of the drink contains 140mg of caffeine. Regardless, the drink has proven incredibly popular with both men’s young audiences while also landing major sponsorship deals such as the UFC.

iShowSpeed Gives Out KSI’s Actual Phone Number During Live Show

by

Recently, streamer iShowSpeed did a live performance at London’s Indigo, 02 Arena over the weekend. During the performance he apparently tried to give his friend and business collaborator KSI a facetime call. The streamer sat in front of a packed audience waiting for the call to go through, but it ultimately never did. “He never answer’s up the f*cking phone bro. He never picks up the f*cking phone man,” Speed says when there’s no answer to his call.

The crowd lets out some boos and even chant about KSI which seems to play into what iShowSpeed does next. “Leak his number? Alright, bet. I’m leaking his number. I’m leaking his number since he don’t want to answer, f*ck that,” he says. Shortly after, he puts his fellow content creators phone number on the screen for everyone in the arena to see. “Ayo this is KSI number, call KSI right now bro.

iShowSpeed Giving KSI’s Number To An Entire Arena

Last month, iShowSpeed was finally unbanned from Twitch. Despite his prior trouble with the platform it didn’t take him long to get right back to stirring up controversy. He did a controversial stream in India where he drew plenty of negative attention for asking people to dance to the viral “Tunak Tunak Tun” meme song.

Just a few days before he was allowed back on Twitch, iShowSpeed had a close encounter with danger during another stream. He chose to do a viral science experiment live on stream, but chose to do it inside when it’s normally performed outdoors. That caused fans to be concerned as his room quickly filled up with smoke. The stunt resulted in firefighters being called to his house where they reportedly had to give him oxygen. Thankfully, the dangerous stream didn’t result in any serious injury according to those closest to Speed. What do you think of iShowSpeed leaking KSI’s number to an entire arena? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jake Paul Hits Out At KSI With Brutal Forehead Joke

by

Jake Paul has gone after KSI, posting about the YouTuber on his Instagram story. “Mf needs to make an appeal with god for the genetics he got,” Paul wrote alongside an edited picture of KSI with a pronounced forehead alongside a deformed skull. The joke is based on the fact that KSI already has a fairly pronounced forehead.

The pair have been feuding on and off for a couple years now. Paul has labeled KSI a copycat in recent weeks, suggesting he only fought Tommy Fury because Paul did so first. Furthermore, KSI is considered a potential opponent for Paul after the latter announced that he was preparing to fight an unnamed fighter on December 15. Another possible contender is Tommy Fury. However, Nate Diaz has come out and is very eager to rematch Paul.

KSI Challenges Fury Result

Meanwhile, KSI has formally filed an appeal into the result of his fight against Tommy Fury last weekend. “JJ has instructed a King’s Counsel who advised the PBA yesterday that he would be appealing the result of the fight. For obvious reasons, we will not get into the specifics of the appeal publicly and allow the process to play out in accordance with PBA rules,” Misfits Boxing owner Mams Taylor wrote on social media.

The YouTuber has been vocally unhappy about the fight ever since he fell to Fury. Their hyped fight ended in an underwhelming majority decision verdict that often featured more grappling than punching. “It was a robbery. … How many jabs did you land? … Look at your face. Look at your eyes,” KSI shot at his opponent after the fight. “He was trying to fuck up my equilibrium,” the 30-year-old said, referring to Fury’s repeated use of rabbit punches – illegal punches to the back of the neck. Fury was deducted one point in the second round for a rabbit punch. However, he faced no other consequences for the behavior.

Jake Paul Announces December Fight, Could KSI Be Next?

While Jake Paul has confirmed that he is fighting on December 15, his opponent remains a mystery. Most believe that it’s likely going to be a rematch against Tommy Fury, who Paul lost to earlier this year. This line of thinking is supported by the fact that Paul said the fight would be the next step on his journey to becoming a world boxing champion. However, Fury is literally less than a week removed from his last fight. That would mean entering a December 15 bout on two months’ training. Paul is expected to reveal his opponent in the coming weeks. However, KSI has been floated as another potential opponent.

However, Nate Diaz is very eager to take another shot at Paul. “Rematch December. You ain’t got nobody to fight. So I’ll beat your ass dec 15th,” Diaz wrote on Instagram alongside the mockup of a promotional flyer for the fight. However, reaction to the rematch was tepid outside of some of Diaz’s MMA colleagues. Paul himself responded to the challenge, posting a parody of Diaz’s flyer with Derek, the viral spokesperson for sportsbook Betr, taking Paul’s place.

KSI & Tommy Fury Fight Labeled A “Disgrace To Boxing”

by

MMA legend Jorge Mavidal blasted the boxing match between KSI and Tommy Fury as a “disgrace to boxing”. The fight was the marquee bout of the Prime Card, which also featured Logan Paul fighting Dillon Danis. However, fans were left disappointed as Fury put little effort into his majority decision win. KSI was overmatched and completely gassed by the end of the fight. This led to extended periods of clinching and grappling, typically instigated by the YouTuber. This led many disgruntled fans and reporters to state that the fight was closer to wrestling than boxing.

KSI has come into the fight with a major chip on his shoulder, as well as claims that Fury wasn’t taking the fight seriously. However, KSI offered little in the way of challenge for Fury and the close scorecards were more a reflection of Fury’s lack of effort than anything on the part of the YouTuber.

Dillon Danis Challenges Logan Paul To MMA Fight

Meanwhile, following the night’s other headliner, Dillon Danis has called on Logan Paul for a rematch in the Octagon. “A Jiu Jitsu guy with no boxing camp or coach made his debut, never wobbled, never dropped, had no standing 8 count, and rocked you multiple times. If I were Nina, I’d call off the wedding. You achieved nothing in your own sport, MMA next,” Danis wrote on social media Saturday morning. It was a response to post from Paul himself. “Honestly nothing to be proud about. that dude sucks, a real cunt. I’m gonna go back to living my life but felt good to beat his ass for 6 rounds and let him embarrass himself. Drink prime,” Paul wrote on social media an hour or so after the fight.

Furthermore, Paul, who chose to speak with the media after the fight, had nothing positive to say about Danis. “Dillon Danis truly is a coward. I forgave Dillon before this fight started. It was the only way to attack this fight without emotion. But he was calling himself a real fighter? Conor McGregor, you see that?” Paul said. Furthermore, he quickly turned his attention back to his current day job – fighting in the WWE. “This is a hobby for me. My true passion, I’m a WWE superstar. I’m an American boy, and I want that U.S. title. Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once and I’m coming for that U.S. championship.”

KSI Reveals Insanely Expensive Mouthguard Ahead Of Tommy Fury Fight

by

KSI and Tommy Fury will be in the ring this Saturday. Unfortunately for KSI, his match has been overshadowed by Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. Those two are fighting on the same card, and it is going to be a grudge match. Their rivalry has been pretty wild to watch, and overall, fans are more intrigued with them. However, that doesn’t mean Fury Vs. KSI won’t be any fun. In fact, for the YouTube star, it will be an opportunity to do what Jake Paul couldn’t.

If the British YouTube star were, in fact, able to win, then some believe he would be a better fighter than Jake. Paul wants to fight against KSI, so this obviously wouldn’t be an ideal situation for the former. Either way, it does seem as though Fury’s opponent is coming prepared for the match. In fact, he will be wearing what has been described as the “world’s most expensive mouthguard.” This is a pretty bold claim, although when you truly absorb the details, you start to realize why this actually may be the case.

KSI Is Excited

As you can see above, the mouthguard has Prime branding on the front. Moreover, it will have 108 diamonds throughout, which just goes to show how fancy it all is. Although some feel like KSI might be doing a bit too much, the boxer seems to believe it’s all part of the gamesmanship. “Gotta make sure I dress for the occasion,” he wrote on Twitter. Even if you aren’t a fan of the YouTuber turned-boxer, you can’t help but be impressed by this piece. Whether or not it actually gives him an advantage, remains to be seen.

KSI Slams Tommy Fury Over Final Sparring Partner, Says Boxer Isn’t Taking Their Fight Seriously

by

KSI has claimed that Tommy Fury isn’t taking his preparations for their upcoming fight seriously. The YouTuber’s evidence for this was the Boxrec profile of Fury’s latest sparring partner, Owen Kirk. Kirk is a 24-year-old fighter out of Morecambe, England who is 3-1-2 in his professional career. Kirk has drawn his last two fights and was presumably training with Fury in preparation for his October 21 bout in Liverpool. However, the young fighter clearly isn’t the caliber of opponent that KSI would like to see those fighting against him training with

KSI-Fury is the co-headliner for the DAZN Prime Card on October 14. The other main card fight is the much-hyped Paul-Danis, although at this point a lot of people are likely hoping that there’s a way both of those fighters can lose. Most experts believe that KSI is overmatched for this fight with the 9-0 boxer. Potential future opponent Jake Paul, who lost to Fury earlier this year, belives the fight will end with a fourth-round knockout.

Tommy Fury Predicts Brutal Win

Meanwhile, Fury is very confident about his chances. “KSI will be lucky to get out of round one. I’m sick of playing games with these guys. He’s going to get obliterated,” Fury said in a recent interview. Fury has four wins by KO, including two in the first round. So there’s precedent to say the least.

Fury’s comments come a few weeks after KSI gave a very anime-esque monologue during a face-off between the two fighters. “When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber. You can train all you want, it won’t matter. Soon you will face reality and it will hurt you. You will be a disgrace for the Fury name and your boxing career will be destroyed when I’m through with you. You don’t want this as much as I do, you don’t need this as much as I do. No pressure, mate. I’ll see you soon,” KSI said before ending with his best villain laugh.
