YouTube star KSI thinks many fans forget how "boring" Jake Paul 's last fight against Tyron Woodley was despite its highlight-reel ending.
Paul hasn't fought since knocking out former UFC champion Woodley in their rematch last December. The fight was uneventful up until the sixth round, when Paul left Woodley face down on the canvas with a devastating right hand. KSI, who fights for the first time in almost three years next month, took aim at Paul's fights whilst complimenting his own style.
"I'm a dog, I'm always fighting and moving forward," the Brit said in a recent video. "There's never a dull moment when I fight. Compare me to Jake Paul. Look at Jake Paul's last fight against Tyron Woodley. If you actually watch the whole thing, it was boring as f***. Yes, he got the spectacular knockout but before that, it was so actually trash.
"He got a dub [win] but it was an 'L' [loss] of a performance. With me, when I fight, you are going to be entertained, every fight I've had has been entertaining. Imagine me with the crazy mentality but I now have technique. Instead of being overly aggressive, I'm tactically aggressive."
KSI hasn't fought since winning a split decision against Jake's older brother, Logan, in their 2019 bout. The former rivals, who are now business partners, met in one of the first YouTube boxing events after their white-collar fight the year before was scored a majority draw. After a lengthy spell away from the ring to focus on his music and YouTube careers, KSI has vowed to "f*** up" Alex Wassabi in their fight at The O2 arena next month.

He said: "I can't wait, I am going to f*** this man up. Everybody is going to be like 'oh just knock him out in 20 or 10 seconds'. Nah, that's boring. I finally get my hands on this motherf***** and you think I'm going to just let it go in 10 seconds. Not one, two or three rounds, maybe four or five rounds. I'm going to just repeatedly beat the living s*** out of him and laugh whilst I'm doing it.
Paul hadn't even made his professional debut when KSI last stepped foot in the ring, with the American now unbeaten in five fights as he looks for a sixth win on August 6 against Hasim Rahman Jr. Meanwhile, KSI also revealed he broke his nose ahead of his boxing return but refused to tell fans how he got the injury.
