KSI says there’s more chance of Arsenal winning Premier League than him fighting Jake Paul as YouTuber eyes next bout
KSI revealed there is more hope of Arsenal winning the Premier League than Jake Paul accepting to fight him.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is close to announcing his next bout – leading to speculation over who it will be against.
But KSI was in no mood to give SunSport any clues when probed.
He said with a chuckle: “I’m giving you nothing! I’m giving you nothing!
“People are just so quick to throw in names all the time. So I’m giving you nothing.”
A blockbuster grudge bout with American rival Paul, 27, has long been top of fans’ wishlist
But KSI reckons his beloved Gunners have more chance of winning their first Premier League title since 2004 than the fight happening.
That’s despite Mikel Arteta’s side already sitting nine points behind leaders Liverpool after just 12 games.
Asked what will come first, he said: “I think Arsenal winning the league. Arsenal winning the league.”
KSI, 31, is yet to return since suffering a controversial points loss to Tommy Fury, 25, in October 2023.

A hand injury ruled him out of his proposed return in August in Dublin.
He was due to face YouTuber Slim Albaher, 30, and ex-MMA star Anthony Taylor, 34, in a two-on-one HANDICAP bout.
But his manage Mams Taylor – also co-founder of Misfits – told SunSport KSI’s next fight is agreed and close to being announced.
And his trainer Alexis Demetriades added: “It’s going to be a huge fight. I’m sure you’ll know the opponent.
“It’s going to be a huge fight if we get what we want.”
KSI has stepped into the role of promoter ahead of the Misfits Boxing’s Supercard on Thursday in Qatar live on DAZN PPV.
And in a shock twist, KSI backed Albaher, 30, to defeat his former friend-turned-rival AnEsonGib, 28, in the Middle East main-event.
It comes after becoming tired of Gib’s verbal shots at Misfits.
KSI said: “Me and Gib aren’t cool, we’re not friends.
“And he wants to take down Misfits. I don’t care for him. I want slim to knock him out. Slim is a company man, that’s it. Simple as that.
“I’m just trying to be as real as I can be. And people call me two-faced, I see online people calling me two-faced saying like I’m a backstabber this, this that.
“Whatever man, I don’t really care I’m just being true to myself. So yeah, f*** Gib and Slim let’s go!”
