KSI has issued a warning to Jake Paul this weekend, telling the American he is ready to “flatline” him towards the end of the year.
Speaking to Boxing Social in the immediate aftermath of his one round demolition of Faze Temperrr, ‘The Nightmare’ issued a bullish response to a jibe on social media from Paul whilst stating his lofty ambitions for Misfits boxing.
“That’s it now – December. I want another fight and then Jake, that’s always been the goal. It’s always been just to hype up that fight and hype up Misfits.
I want Misfits to be as big as the WWE and the UFC. And then Jake Paul, I want him flatlined, simple.”
Paul took to his official Twitter account to issue a response to the fight, saying he was pleased KSI had won because, in the words of ‘The Problem Child,’ it means his cross Atlantic rival would be more inclined to agree to face him.
I love when KSI wins because it gives him more confidence for him to actually get in the ring with me.

A fight between the pair is by far the biggest to make in the world of crossover boxing, with genuine animosity appearing to exist between arguably the two largest names in social media.
KSI fought Jake’s brother Logan twice, being held to a draw in 2018 before edging out ‘The Maverick’ in their 2019 rematch.
The two have since squashed their beef and launched a successful business together, however there is still no love lost between KSI and Jake.
A few names have emerged as potential opponents for KSI’s spring date, including Joe Founier, Tyron Woodley and Slim Albaher, who defeated DJ Tom Zanetti in the co main event at the Wembley Arena on Saturday night.
