KSI took to social media to eviscerate rival Jake Paul as he rejected a fight with his fellow YouTuber.
Paul had taken to Twitter earlier to demand a fight with KSI after his rival's opponent Alex Wassabi was forced out of their August 27 meeting with concussion. But KSI, who has long demanded a showdown with the younger Paul brother, turned down the offer, claiming he already has a replacement opponent.
Responding to Paul's offer to travel to London for the fight later this month, KSI said: "So then you could have fought Tommy Fury in England on my undercard? Or is it that you didn’t wanna fight a boxer? So you’re admitting that you’re actually just full of s*** this whole time?
"You and MVP (Most Valuable Promotions) are so untrustworthy. First Tommy, [Hasim] Rahman [Jr[ and now Wassabi. Even when you do put events on, all you do is lie to your fans and inflate your numbers by like 50 times. We know your dealings with each promotion and what you actually make. It’s a joke.
"The industry knows now that you are not the draw you have portrayed to be. Your stock is down bad and you don’t get to dictate s*** to me mate. You think you’re clever but we anticipated you’d pull something like this.
"Plus you’ll probably try to pull some shit causing our event to cancel too just like your flop event did. You tried to drain Rahman, so that there would be no life left in him when he fought you with the rehydration clause. You fought a man fresh out of hip surgery [Ben Askren].
"You fought and beat a past his prime [Tyron] Woodley with three weeks' notice. You made AnEsonGib fight at a weight that you knew he would struggle to reach with such short notice. The list goes on. All of that ain’t gonna work with me fam.
Should KSI have accepted Jake Paul's offer? Let us know in the comments section below
"We will fight on my terms and when we do, it’ll be done on the biggest stage. I’m talking Wembley stadium fam. With a full camp tailored just for you and I, so that there are no excuses when we fight. None of this short notice s***
"What you didn’t know is that we actually contracted another fighter in case you guys pulled something like this. I will honour my word to my fans and to my opponent because my word means something unlike yours. The show will go on on August 27 and you or MVP won’t have a thing to do with it. Enjoy your night out buddy."
Paul is himself looking for a new opponent after cancelling his fight with Rahman Jr which had been due to take place tonight. He is set to return in October but is unlikely to hand either Rahman or Fury another shot.
