Jake Paul has taken to Twitter to vent his frustrations after KSI appeared to verbally agree a fight with YouTuber Austin McBroom.
Paul was initially lined up for a bout with KSI after the UK YouTube superstar beat his brother, Logan, via split decision on the pair’s professional debut.
However, KSI has been absent from the sport ever since, with Jake Paul defeating AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson and Ben Askren in the meantime.

He’s due to fight former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in August of this year.
Paul initially called KSI out in the ring after his win over the rapper’s friend, AnEsonGib, real name Ali Loui Al-Fakhri, with a first round knockout.
The fight never materialised, but KSI has now appeared to verbally agree to fight Austin McBroom. McBroom recently defeated TikTok sensation Bryce Hall.

As you’d expect, with the American having been forced to wait for his shot at avenging the Paul name, Jake is not best pleased, as he took to Twitter to reveal.
Lol.
KSI immediately jumping at the opportunity to fight Austin.
I guess “music tours” and “COVID” were only in the way of him fighting me

Ultimately, KSI has been out of boxing training for some time, while Paul has had several fights of a higher calibre than KSI has ever faced before.
You can understand why he would prefer to fight someone who has a comparable track record before stepping into the ring with his YouTube rival.
