Yet, not everyone believes this fight will take place. KSI, the best friend of Jake Paul’s brother, has publicly doubted the match and gone a step further by challenging Paul to a fight of his own in the near future.

“Jake’s just getting heavier and heavier and heavier, obviously, because he’s just looking at the Mike Tyson fight – which I still don’t think is going to happen,” he said, per World Boxing News.

“I think they’re going to try and make an ordeal, and then eventually Mike will realise he actually can’t fight, and then I don’t know what they’re going to do then.
