For years, celebrity boxing fans have eagerly awaited a Jake Paul vs. KSI showdown in the ring. Ever since the influencer boxing craze began, they’ve been the two biggest names in the spotlight. The rivalry has only grown, and the trash talk has never stopped-but the fight itself has yet to happen.
In a recent video on Logan Paul’s YouTube channel, the brothers answered fan questions. Everything was lighthearted, full of laughs and stories-until one question dropped:
Jake Paul’s MVP Promotions brings the heat as boxing ring girls steal the spotlight
“Who would win: Jake or JJ (KSI)?” Jake tried to dodge it with humor: “In what? A dumb contest? In that case, JJ.” But the topic didn’t go away.
After a bit of back and forth, Jake got serious and said what many suspected: “I would win.” Logan quickly backed him up, saying without hesitation, “No shot,” implying that KSI wouldn’t stand a chance. Just like that, they crushed the hopes of millions of fans.
The Pauls think KSI is no longer a real threat
The truth is, Jake Paul has made huge strides as a boxer. He now holds a 12-1 record and recently defeated veterans like Julio César Chávez Jr. and Anderson Silva. Meanwhile, KSI hasn’t stepped into the ring since losing to Tommy Fury in 2023. The skill gap is becoming hard to ignore.
What’s most surprising is that even though Logan and KSI are business partners with the PRIME brand, that didn’t stop the older Paul brother from dismissing him on camera. What was once a heated rivalry now feels like two careers heading in opposite directions-Jake rising, KSI stalled.
Deji had to acknowledge Jake’s progress
What really raised eyebrows was that even Deji, KSI’s younger brother, praised Jake Paul’s most recent performance. After Jake’s win in Anaheim, Deji posted on social media:
“Well done, Jake Paul; honestly, he looked really good.” And coming from someone who has clashed with Jake in the past, that says a lot.
In the end, everyone seems to agree on one thing: Jake Paul is at the top of his game, while KSI is drifting further away from the ring. The fight that was once the centerpiece of influencer boxing is now just a memory of what could have been.

Athlete NIL Deals with Collectives Being Rejected By New Agency
The new agency in charge of regulating name, image, likeness deals in college sports sent a letter to schools Thursday saying it had rejected deals between players and donor-backed collectives formed over the past several years to funnel money to athletes or their schools.Those arrangements hold no "valid business purpose," the memo said, and don't adhere to rules that call for outside NIL deals to be between players and companies that provide goods or services to the general public for profit.The letter to Division I athletic directors could be the next step in shuttering today's version of the collective, groups that are closely affiliated with schools and that, in the early days of NIL after July 2021, proved the most efficient way for schools to indirectly cut deals with players.Since then, the landscape has changed yet again with the $2.8 […]
