KSI has slammed Jake Paul after he knocked out MMA star Mike Perry on Saturday night.
Paul had initially been scheduled to take on Mike Tyson, before the former undisputed heavyweight champion suffered a medical emergency on a flight and was forced to pull out.
The controversial clash has since been rescheduled for December, with Perry stepping in to face Paul in Florida this weekend.
On the night Paul proved too much for the former UFC welterweight, dominating the contest and scoring three knockdowns before the referee waved the fight off in the sixth of eight scheduled rounds.
In the aftermath of the result, KSI couldn’t help but aim a sarcastic dig at his long-time rival over social media writing: ‘Congrats weight bully.’

Writing on social media KSI called Paul a ‘weight bully’ after defeating Perry, who fought his UFC career at 170lbs
Having spent the majority of his fighting career at the 170lbs and 180lbs weight classes, Perry tipped the scales at 195lbs for Saturday’s clash, whilst Paul was right on the cruiserweight limit of 200lbs.
KSI went on to criticise the matchmaking involved throughout Paul’s burgeoning career inside the ring.
‘Really hope this Mike Tyson fight with Jake doesn’t happen.’ He added. ‘[Paul’s opponents are] either old, or way smaller in weight or an MMA fighter or all 3. It’s boring at this point.’
Like Paul, KSI has parlayed his own success into a career in influencer boxing, amassing a professional record of 4-1 with one no contest.
The British YouTube star also criticised the matchmaking involved in Paul’s boxing career
Both men have suffered their sole defeat against Tommy Fury, with the brother of former heavyweight king Tyson triumphing in both instances by decision.
Despite working alongside Jake’s brother Logan Paul as part of the viral PRIME hydration drink, KSI and the younger Paul have long been embroiled in a bitter feud.
A clash between the two men has yet to materialise however, with KSI challenging the American earlier this year to meet him inside the ring at 185lbs in 2025.
‘I see that he has rescheduled his fight with Mike Tyson,’ the Brit said in the video. ‘So now Mike will be even older when he fights.
‘Mike Tyson is a man who is in no condition to fight a 20-something-year-old at his age. I mean, Jake Paul and Netflix want to do what they want, so all good. But today I will be making my final offer.

Earlier this year KSI called his bitter rival out for a long-awaited clash inside the ring
‘May 2025, it gives you all the time in the world to be ready and we can do it in America, just to make you that bit more happy.
‘But that is that when it comes to giving you advantages. I mean first of all we agreed to fight at 180lbs and then you decided to run away and fight Nate Diaz instead.
‘Then you came back and wanted a fight at 185lbs and then decided 200lbs. You know what Jake, I am tired of this bulls***, get off the cycle and lets make this work.
‘185lbs is my final offer, take it or leave it.’
