KSI reacts to Jake Paul wanting to fight him at 195 pounds: "Enjoy fighting heavyweights"

KSI has reacted to Jake Paul's desire to fight him at 195 pounds. KSI, who also goes by 'JJ', mostly fights under the cruiserweight limit, with his last outing being at 181 pounds. Having him fight a natural 195-pound boxer might be a tough ask.

This sentiment is echoed by KSI himself in his YouTube channel, where he addressed Jake Paul's challenge, saying:

​

"No. I'm just not doing that. 185 [pounds] is the same as Tommy Fury, okay. If you can't make it, then cool. I'l just wait. Enjoy fighting heavyweights. Continue fighting heavyweights, brother. You're not a heavyweight, okay. If you want to continue fighting heavyweight, be my guest! (laughs)"

He added:

​

"I'll just be in my own lane, do my own thing. And when you decide to finally man up or by force, essentially, because there's only so many heavyweights you can fight until you actually have to fight a real boxer. Yeah, I'll be here waiting."

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson get heated in face-off ahead of November contest

It's looking like the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout will ultimately push through despite setbacks. Originally set for a July date, the fight got postponed due to the 57-year-old boxing legend suffering a medical emergency while aboard a plane.

In the meantime, Paul elected to face former UFC welterweight and reigning BKFC "King of Violence" champion Mike Perry. 'The Problem Child' weighed in at 200 pounds, while 'Platinum' came in at 196.6 pounds. Paul stopped Perry via TKO in the sixth round.

After dispatching Perry, Paul is now focused on Tyson, with an official November 15 date set. The two went to a promotional event to hype the fight and were asked to do a face-off. It got intensely heated, or rather, playful - depending on how you look at it.

Here's a video of the face-off:
