Finally, a date has been set for Jake Paul and KSI’s much-anticipated battle. According to reports, under certain conditions, Jake’s manager offered KSI a fight deal, and KSI seemed to be completely okay with it.
In a recent interview with MMA Hour, KSI talked about many aspects of his boxing career. As expected, the YouTuber-turned-boxer mostly talked about his controversial TKO decision win against Joe Fournier.

This Sunday night at the OVO Arena in London, KSI got his much-anticipated victory against the billionaire businessman. However, the decision is going to be investigated further as Joe appealed to Professional Boxers Association.
During the interview with Ariel Helwani, KSI was informed that Jake’s manager, Nakisa Bidarian has made an offer regarding his fight with The Problem Child. According to the proposal, Jake is down to fight KSI in February 2024.

What did KSI say regarding the fight proposal from Jake’s manager?
If there’s one thing about KSI, then it should be he’s been taking preparations for facing Jake in the ring for a year now. Earlier in January when the Briton defeated FaZe Temperrr in the headliner of Misfits Boxing 4 at Wembley Arena in London, he said his end goal is Jake Paul and the rest of the fights are just side quests.
The British rapper extended his winning streak by defeating the billionaire businessman this week and once again expressed his desire to fight Jake. Now that he’s received a green signal from the American boxer’s side, there’s no doubt that he’s going to give his everything in the training session.

Jake is also looking forward to his next fight against Nate Diaz. The YouTube sensation suffered a defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury this February at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia. Before the two settle their long-standing animosity in the ring, KSI might face TNT in between.
Now it seems the much-anticipated battle of the two of the biggest boxing influencers is only an official announcement away. Even though there’s a chance that KSI’s most recent victory might be overturned after the investigation, still KSI thinks his next fight against Fury should proceed.
