KSI confirms boxing return date, discloses status of Jake Paul negotiations

British YouTuber KSI recently confirmed the date of his return to the boxing ring while opening up on his potential fight against Jake Paul.

'JJ' was last seen inside the squared circle this past January against fellow social media star Faze Temperr. The Brit secured an emphatic first-round knockout. Since then, a lot has been said about his return to the ring.

While it was initially suggested that KSI take on a pro boxer before fighting Jake Paul towards the end of the year, his plans might change now. He recently took to Twitter to reveal that he will be fighting on May 13.

Further in the tweet, 'JJ' revealed that Jake Paul is "being long" with the negotiations and that he might just fight Tommy Fury instead of 'The Problem Child'.

He wrote:

"At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury. Jake Paul is being long with negotiations."

Take a look at his tweet below:

KSI lauds Tommy Fury for beating Jake Paul

'The Problem Child' suffered the first loss of his pro boxing career last month against Tommy Fury. In what was considered to be the first real test of Paul's boxing ability, he was handed a split-decision loss at the hands of 'TNT'.

Following Jake Paul's defeat, Twitter users had a field day and even KSI hopped on the trend in his recent YouTube video. It is worth noting that the Brit and Paul have had a long-standing feud and are slated to fight each other by the end of the year.

However, before he gets the opportunity to enter the squared circle with Jake Paul himself, the Brit lauded Tommy Fury for beating 'The Problem Child' in their highly anticipated grudge matchup.

In a recently uploaded video on his YouTube channel, 'JJ' said:

"Can we appreciate this man for making Jake Paul his b**ch. Yes, let's appreciate Tommy Fury. I mean I've already made a video about laughing at Jake Paul, repeatedly."
