British YouTube star KSI has made one last offer to his longtime rival Jake Paul as the two finally go head-to-head in the ring.
The two internet titans have repeatedly failed to agree on terms for a fight over the past five years, but in a YouTube video on June 8, KSI made a final proposal to his rival to fight.
“Jake, this is your final offer. May 2025. So that you have plenty of time to prepare,” he said.
KSI has long been pushing for the fight to take place in the UK, and the Prime co-founder explained that he would be open to fighting in the US if it were to happen – his only condition, however, is that the fight take place at 185lbs.

KSI added, “You know what, Jake? I'm tired of this bullshit. Let's stop this cycle and make this a success. We both need to lose weight and we have plenty of time to do it. 185 pounds is my final offer. Take it or give up.”
Fans have been waiting for years to see KSI and Jake Paul clash in the ring, with their feud dating back to 2018. But years later, we're still yet to see the pair clash, even though both YouTube stars have promised fans that a bout will happen by the end of 2023.
Their feud was rekindled recently when a bout between Jake Paul and boxing legend Mike Tyson was postponed, leading to fans calling for KSI to challenge them to the ultimate showdown, but he is already gearing up for an August bout and has dismissed the idea of fighting in July.
It was thought that KSI would next step into the ring against retired world boxing champion Amir Khan, but in the same video, the YouTuber challenged both Slim Albaher and Anthony Taylor to a 2-on-1 handicap tag team match as his return bout.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul has confirmed that his bout with Mike Tyson has been rescheduled for November 15th and that he still intends to lock gloves with the sport's greatest.
