Jake Paul & KSI Exchange Heated Words: "It's Crazy How Much Your Hype Has Died"
It appears the beef between Jake Paul and KSI is alive and well.
Since they entered the world of boxing, popular YouTubers Paul and KSI have been angling for a fight. The bout hasn't materialized, but the two have fired shots at one another on social media over why the fight hasn't happened.
As of late, Paul has ripped the legitimacy of KSI's Misfits Boxing. Paul's criticism stemmed from KSI's initial knockout victory over Joe Fournier. The bout result was changed to a no contest as it was clear that KSI's elbow/forearm caught the jaw of his opponent.

Recently, KSI took to his Twitter account to call out Tommy Fury for not yet signing a deal to fight him. In the process, he also took a shot at Paul.
"What you waiting for @tommytntfury? Sign the damn contract and let me show you the difference between me and that fraud who only wins against retired MMA pensioners."
Paul caught wind of the tweet and took the opportunity to blast KSI for how he handles business.
"This clown…tried to fight D**** Dan [Dillon Danis] who has never boxed and put a rehydration clause on him. Fought a 40 year old who hadn’t fought for 3 years and put a rehydration clause on him before elbowing him. Now trying to squeeze Tommy. I elevated Tommy, my son is now worth a lot more than the $1.5M offers you making. Tommy, February we run it back."
KSI was quick to respond, claiming that Paul's popularity has fallen off a cliff.
"We ain’t offering 1.5 million It’s crazy how much your hype has died since you lost. No one cares anymore."
While KSI looks to make his next fight happen, Paul is booked for August 5. He will be taking on former UFC title contender Nate Diaz in an eight-round cruiserweight boxing match.
