KSI has made a “final offer” to Jake Paul in a bid to persuade his long-term rival to finally get in the ring with him.
The two social media stars have been exchanging words since KSI beat Paul’s brother Logan in 2019, and the pair have since become good friends and launched hydration company ‘Prime’.
It looked like Jake would try to avenge his brother soon after, but both he and KSI have continued their boxing careers since then with only one loss to their names, both against Tommy Fury.
Both will return to the ring soon, but again it won’t be against each other, and time is running out in terms of maintaining interest in the fight.
Meanwhile, KSI has taken to social media to address his bitter rival and give him another offer for the pair to step into the ring and resolve their differences next year.

KSI (pictured) has made a ‘final offer’ to Jake Paul to try and arrange a fight with his long-term rival next year.
The social media star has not fought since losing to Tommy Fury on points in October.
Paul (pictured), who has rivaled KSI since 2019, will fight Mike Tyson in a rearranged fight on November 15.
KSI criticized the fight after Tyson (pictured) suffered a medical emergency, causing it to be delayed from July.
“I see that he has rescheduled his fight with Mike Tyson,” the Briton said in the video. ‘So now Mike will be even older when he fights.
“Mike Tyson is a man who is in no condition to fight a twenty-something his age. I mean, Jake Paul and Netflix want to do what they want, so that’s fine. But today I will make my final offer.
‘In May 2025, you will have all the time in the world to get ready and we can do it in the United States, just to make you a little happier.
‘But that’s about it when it comes to giving you advantages. I mean, first of all, we agreed to fight at 180 pounds and then you decided to run away and fight Nate Diaz.
‘Then you came back and wanted to fight at 185 pounds and then you decided on 200 pounds. You know what, Jake, I’m tired of this nonsense, get out of the cycle and let’s make this work.
“£185 is my final offer, take it or leave it.”
Paul didn’t respond directly, but shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, that read: “Wednesday announcement.”
Paul’s fight against heavyweight legend Tyson has been rescheduled for November 15 after it was postponed due to a medical emergency Tyson suffered in the lead-up to the fight.
It was due to take place on July 20, but Tyson had to be treated on a flight on May 26, again raising concerns about his health ahead of the fight.
KSI and Paul have been rivals since the former defeated the latter’s brother, but they have not been able to arrange a fight.
Paul did not respond directly to the call, but revealed that he will make an announcement next week.
KSI revealed that he will return to the ring in August to face Slim Albaher (left) and Anthony Taylor (right) in a tag team match.
Albaher said he would “turn off the lights on my own” and appeared to accept the online challenge
Taylor also addressed the fight, apparently, as did Albaher, accepting the social media star’s call.
KSI went on to reveal his return to the ring for the first time since losing to Fury in October, which will be on the Mistfits second anniversary card on August 31 in Dublin.
He revealed he was in negotiations to face former pro Amir Khan, suggesting the fight will be later this year, and also said he was offered the chance to fight Tyson’s former rival Evander Holyfield.
The 30-year-old then announced that he will face Slim Albaher and Anthony Taylor in a 2 on 1 tag team match, and Slim responded: ‘2 on 1 lmao. I would just turn off the lights. If this is my only chance after chasing KSI for years, I’m sorry they didn’t tag you. Let’s make it happen.’
She later added: “Don’t worry about AT, he can be my cheerleader,” while Taylor has shared a series of memes mocking supposed skeptics of him taking on KSI.
