Why did Jake Paul call KSI's Misfits Boxing promotion insecure? Here is all you need to know
YouTube sensation turned boxer Jake Paul recently took to Twitter to hit out at fellow social media influencer KSI and his promotion Misfits Boxing.
‘The Problem Child’ seemed to take exception to KSI’s Twitter announcement that tickets for his upcoming fight with Joe Fournier are now on sale through the AXS website.
Jake Paul accused KSI and his promotion of being “insecure”, claiming that fans weren’t being allowed to pick their own seats for the event and describing the OVO Arena Wembley as a “small ass venue”.
“KSI…your whole promotion is insecure. Can’t even let your fans see the seats and pick what they want because you too afraid for people to see tickets ain’t selling like you claim. And that’s a small ass venue. Same thing your doing in New Orleans. At least Kingpyn, who is at the same venue, is letting fans pick their seats. And oh yeah, they have Wade now.”

As of the time of writing, KSI has not responded to his fellow YouTuber.
Numerous fans, however, were quick to reply to Paul and suggest that his claim wasn’t true, and that anyone purchasing tickets could in fact select their seat. However, in response, others claimed that 'The Problem Child' was correct and that selecting a specific seat was not an option.
@Elchapo996 @jakepaul Tbf that’s changed because I couldn’t pick my seats when I got them
Paul’s rivalry with KSI dates back to the latter’s two fights with older brother Logan, which took place in 2018 and 2019 and were won by KSI. Since then, however, the UK-based influencer and Logan Paul have teamed up to promote PRIME Hydration drinks.
This hasn’t stopped ‘The Problem Child’ from challenging KSI to meet him in the ring, although a fight has not yet come to fruition.
What happened when Jake Paul fought Tommy Fury?

Paul has not booked another fight in the aftermath of his first defeat in the ring. Bizarrely, though, current reports from the UK suggest that ‘The Problem Child’ could face off with England football legend Wayne Rooney in his next bout inside the squared circle.
