Logan Paul has recently shed light on why his brother Jake Paul is frustrated with KSI regarding their potential boxing match. Despite several attempts, the highly anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and KSI has yet to materialize. Negotiations have started multiple times, only to break down without reaching an agreement.
A critical roadblock in scheduling the fight has been a minor two-and-a-half-pound weight disagreement. During a video call on Adin Ross’s recent stream, Jake and Logan Paul discussed the issue, revealing that Jake prefers to fight at 192.5 pounds, while KSI wants to meet at 190 pounds.
Logan, eager to see the fight happen, emphasized on his podcast that weight remains a significant factor preventing the bout. He noted that Jake perceives himself as a more serious contender now, a notion compounded by his recent choices, including a proposed fight against the 58-year-old Mike Tyson. Jake considers KSI to still be in the realm of influencer boxing, complicating negotiations further.
Despite these obstacles, there is hope that the fight might finally occur, possibly in the iconic Madison Square Garden. Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Jake’s boxing promotion Most Valuable Promotions, has expressed interest in hosting the fight at MSG, targeting 2026 as a potential date.
The eagerness for the fight stems not only from the fans’ desire for the spectacle but also from Jake’s wish to avenge his brother Logan’s split-decision loss to KSI in 2019. The rivalry has continued since then, with both parties displaying perseverance to make the match happen. While the future remains uncertain, the possibility of the much-anticipated Jake vs. KSI bout continues to generate excitement and speculation among boxing enthusiasts.
