KSI has revealed his fight with Jake Paul is still up in the air unless his fellow YouTuber ‘decides to get his s**t together’.
The content creator and rapper, 29, is hoping to take on Jake, 25, in the ring next year, provided both parties can agree on a suitable contract.
He revealed to Men’s Health UK: ‘The plan is, it’s still on. But it’s not going to be as easy as everyone thinks it is. There’s going to be a lot of back and forth, a lot of negotiations.
‘I’m not holding my breath. I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m just waiting for him. If he’s down and we get the contract right, then it’s a go.
‘But if he’s going to make this whole situation very long, then I’m just going to find other opponents until he decides to get his s**t together.’
Fans have been hoping to see KSI and Jake in the ring together for years but their fight has never quite panned out.

Since turning his hand to boxing, KSI has completely switched up his lifestyle, which included cutting out alcohol entirely.
Despite never being a big drinker, the YouTuber found that he would struggle with hangovers and didn’t like ending up in certain situations as a result of being under the influence of alcohol and has seen a therapist to work on himself holistically.
When come to the legacy KSI wants to leave behind, he revealed: ‘My legacy is just to be the GOAT. I want people to look back in years to come and be like, you know what? KSI did a madness. He started with no talent. Absolutely f**k all.
‘And he was able to start with zero subscribers to be this guy who’s got plenty of number ones in music. Was able to fight, like, massive YouTubers and all these other things what people thought he was never able to do. Get all these accolades. From literally nothing.’
The full KSI interview can be read in the November issue of Men’s Health UK, on sale from October 19.
