KSI vs Jake Paul: Eddie Hearn reveals 'easy' pick for potential YouTuber showdown

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has given his thoughts on how a possible Jake Paul vs KSI boxing match would go.

The world of YouTube boxing has grown so extensively that it’s now pretty much part of the general boxing scene, and that says a lot about the growth of this niche area over the course of the last few years.

Two YouTubers who have been particularly influential, and have also been vocal about wanting to fight one another, are Jake Paul and KSI.

The pair have differing levels of experience in combat sports but as a result of the history they share with one another, fans can’t help but want to see them face off inside the squared circle.

Of course, it’s unlikely we’re going to see it anytime soon, but the imminent return of KSI to take on Alex Wassabi has certainly raised a few eyebrows regarding the feasibility of the match-up.

During a recent interview, Eddie Hearn gave his own thoughts on what could happen if the collision occurs.

“I think that’s a very easy fight for Jake Paul, at the level he’s been boxing at now, with what he’s been doing in the gym. 

“You know, he’s been doing this for like two years – consistently training, sparring, proving, he’s made a lot of improvements. 

“It’s a massive fight, but the problem is, when it comes down to ego and all that kind of stuff, the reality is it’s very unlikely that KSI would win that fight, so in your world – of that YouTube environment – how detrimental is it to KSI’s brand and career to lose to Jake Paul, versus the money that he would make in that fight? 

“He’s probably gonna make £10 million for that fight.”

Out of respect for Alex I won’t expose you. But you know what’s going on. You know what you and your team have asked me to do to help sell your
