KSI ready to cancel Jake Paul grudge match if YouTube rival loses to Tommy Fury… and will fight Love Islander instead
KSI is ready to cancel his proposed grudge match with Jake Paul if his YouTube rival loses to Tommy Fury – and will fight the victor instead.
The sworn internet enemies have talked up and end of year blockbuster to finally settle their score in the ring.
And contracts have even been exchanged, despite Paul, 26, on the verge of announcing his rescheduled bout with Fury, 23.
KSI, 29, will keep a keen eye on the anticipated clash and claimed if his American foe loses, it could scrap their mega-fight.
He said on Twitter: “At that point I’d probably have to fight Tommy Fury instead of Jake.
“If Tommy beats Jake then I don’t think that’s the money fight anymore.”
KSI’s history with Paul dates back to 2018 when he drew against his brother Logan, 27, but won the rematch a year later.
The former opponents have now turned friends and business partners after the major success of their Prime hydration drink.
But Logan’s younger brother has no love lost for KSI and has gone 6-0 in his pursuit to avenge his sibling’s loss.
And he faces on paper his toughest test in the ring against Fury, set for February 25 in Saudi Arabia.

The two are now trying to settle their score in the ring for the THIRD time.
Tommy was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid a US visa issue.
The travel woe still persists today, which left the UK and Saudi as frontrunners to host the bitter bout.
But a big-money deal from the Saudis look to have won the race with an official fight announcement imminent.
