‘Send me the contract’ – Jake Paul ready to fight KSI for FREE in London on August 27 in replace of Alex Wassabi
JAKE PAUL is ready to fight long-time YouTube boxing rival for FREE in replace of Alex Wassabi.
Wassabi was due to face KSI on August 27 at the O2 Arena in London but the American has withdrawn after suffering a concussion.
As luck would have it, Paul was due to return two earlier but his bout with Hasim Rahman Jr got cancelled.
So the social media sensation-turned boxer offered to step in and ensure both him and KSI can fight.
And Paul later accepted a deal which pays him NOTHING and demanded a contract be sent.
He tweeted: “My manager just told me KSI is down but only if I fight him for free and he keeps all the revenue.

“That’s what they offering… I said hurry the f*** up and send me the contract.”
Paul, 25, was firstly due to face Tommy Fury, 23, but the British ex-Love Islander was hit with a US visa issue.
And before Rahman, 31, was brought in as a replacement, KSI offered to allow Paul to fight Fury on his undercard.

And he referenced this when replying to Paul, appearing to pour cold water on the prospect on them fighting at short notice.
KSI tweeted: “You and MVP are so untrustworthy. First Tommy, Rahman and now Wassabi.
“Even when you do put events on, all you do is lie to your fans and inflate your numbers by like 50 times.
“We know your dealings with each promotion & what you actually make. It’s a joke.
“The industry knows now that you are not the draw you have portrayed to be.
