Jake Paul weighs in on KSI vs. IShowSpeed
Jake Paul seems unfazed by the overlap in timing between the KSI vs. IShowSpeed sparring match and his boxing showdown against Andre August.
During a recent interview with ESPN, 'The Problem Child' expressed his dissatisfaction with their alleged attempt to divert viewership from his fight, noting that it ultimately worked in his favor by generating increased interest in the Paul vs. August bout:
"I feel like the whole entire thing has backfired, because it's just brought more conversation to my fight. People have two screens, you know. They can watch two things at once. A 30-year-old guy is just out there with me on his mind all the time, trying to take things away from me, or mess up my business. It's funny that I live rent free in this kid's head."
