PAUL ON THE TABLE
KSI’s manager proposes never-before-seen rules for Jake Paul fight with ‘take-it-or-leave it’ offer
KSI’S manager is ready to go to never-before-seen lengths in a bid to get a fight with Jake Paul over the line.
The pair of YouTubers-turned-boxers have spent years feuding but have yet to strike a deal for what would be a blockbuster grudge bout.

Standing in the way of what has been dubbed a £100MILLION match-up is the weight difference between them.
Paul, 27, moved up to heavyweight to beat boxing great Mike Tyson, 58, in their controversial Netflix showdown.
The American bulked up to 227lb (16st 2lb), while KSI’s last fight was at 183lb – over THREE STONE lighter.
So KSI’s manager Mams Taylor – co-founder of Misfits Boxing – is ready to flip a coin to decide where the bout takes place.
Taylor told SunSport ahead of Misfits Qatar on DAZN PPV: “I feel like he has a big enough name certainly where he can fight at whatever weight he wants and there’s always going to be someone.
“But obviously the Jake fight is something we’ve wanted and there was talk of a coin toss, we said, ‘Fine, let’s do a coin toss.’
“But the weights have to be fair. If you want 192lb on one side then we want 183lb on the other side. If you want 190, we’ll take 185.
“So that was the terms we gave, take-it-or-leave it, we’ll even fight in America in Vegas. We’ve really tried to make it happen.”
KSI, 31, is yet to return since his controversial points loss to Tommy Fury, 25, in October and has been recovering from a hand injury.
Paul was also beaten by Fury in 2023 but bounced back with five wins following the only loss of his 12-bout career.

His most recent was against 58-year-old Tyson – who returned for his first professional fight in almost 20 YEARS.
The showdown was scrutinised amid the age-gap but still a massive 108million viewers tuned in to watch it on Netflix.
Paul looks set to move back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb after moving up to heavyweight.
But his promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian has opened the door to sensationally fighting the likes of Anthony Joshua, 35, or Daniel Dubois, 27.
But Taylor hit back: “At this point I really just think it’s Nakisa because if Jake loses to KSI, there’s no Canelo payday.
“And look, he’s not fighting AJ unless Nakisa really doesn’t like Jake.”
