‘Bro, stop’… Jake Paul scolded by brother Logan over KSI fight terms with mocking reference to Gervonta Davis bout

Jake Paul recently received some criticism from his own brother due to his strict conditions for a fight.

There has been a lot of negativity from fans and fellow fighters towards Paul’s upcoming bout with Gervonta Davis.

The two men are set to meet in an exhibition mismatch on November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

While Paul has some other huge names in boxing that he’s still targeting for after his next fight on Netflix, there’s one opponent that has consistently been linked with facing ‘The Problem Child’.

The controversial star recently looked to address this but ended up receiving some pushback from his own brother.

Logan Paul instantly shuts down notion that KSI doesn’t want to fight Jake Paul

In a recent Kick stream with Adin Ross, Jake Paul called his brother Logan Paul, where the conversation turned to a potential boxing match with KSI.

Logan may have previously shared the ring with KSI but the two men have developed a close friendship over the years as the co-founders of Prime.

When Jake looked to ask his brother why his fellow YouTube and boxing star doesn’t want to face him, this was instantly shut down by Logan.

“Bro, stop. We’ve gone over this a thousand times. He does want to fight you, at 190, and you don’t want to fight him at 190.”

Jake then explained that he’d be willing to meet KSI in the middle regarding the weight, explaining to Ross that this makes a big difference.

His brother’s response was to point out how confusing that statement is coming from ‘The Problem Child’ due to the huge size difference for Paul’s upcoming clash with Gervonta Davis.

“Bro, you’re fighting Gervonta. What do you mean 2.5 pounds?! There’s a huge difference.”

Logan Paul doesn’t seem optimistic about the fight happening despite Jake Paul’s admission

Earlier this year, KSI’s manager claimed that Jake Paul was costing himself a huge amount of money by not compromising on the terms for their potential fight.

With it looking like the boxing star may finally be prepared to turn this corner, he spoke during Adin Ross’ stream about it being a matchup that the fans need to see.

“I think the internet, to close that chapter and like make the story come full circle, me and KSI have to fight.”

Logan Paul, on the other hand, wasn’t quite as optimistic about finally seeing his brother face off with his former opponent.

“I think it would be absolutely legendary, I just, I tried for two years. I tried to go between the camps and make it happen but look where we are now.”
