YouTube star KSI is set to return to the ring in January as he looks to step up his activity ahead of a potential fight with Jake Paul
Tyron Woodley has accused KSI of avoiding a boxing fight and called for him to stop adding “comedy” to their potential contract.
YouTube star KSI – real name JJ Olatunji – made a long-awaited return to the ring back in August when he defeated two fighters in one night in the shape of rapper Swarmz and professional fighter Luis Pineda. Now he is eyeing a return to the ring in January next year with a whole host of opponents lined up for his return on the latest of his Misfits Boxing cards.
KSI has been heavily linked with the likes of professional boxers Joe Fournier and Tommy Fury, with former UFC champion Woodley also in the running to step up to the plate. And in the biggest hint yet that he could be the man to touch gloves with KSI, the American has pleaded with his rival to sign the deal.
He tweeted: “@KSI Quit running and adding comedy to the contract and trying to find a way out. See your h** a** in Dubai this weekend.” The tweet has since been deleted by Paul’s former rival, who will likely fly to Dubai shortly where he could come face-to-face with his potential opponent.
