KSI, one of the catalysts of the influencer boxing scene, was keen to roast Paul for what seems like a botched opportunity. The British influencer was mocked for calling out Wayne Bridge, a retired footballer, at a Misfits Boxing event in January. KSI has since announced a fight with Dillon Danis.

Jake Paul took his first professional boxing loss to Tommy Fury, brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. After the loss, KSI called Jake Paul out, and has also since called himself the best influencer boxer.
