KSI taunts Jake Paul and Andrew Tate after rivals suffer bruising boxing defeats

KSI has publicly taunted two boxing rivals after they endured bruising defeats within 24 hours, continuing a feud that has long played out across social media. The YouTuber, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, has repeatedly teased Jake Paul and Andrew Tate. On Friday night in Miami, Jake Paul was beaten by Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight bout, a result that left Paul with a jaw injury described as shattered, forcing him to eat through a straw for seven days.

KSI marked the moment with a pair of posts on X. He shared a picture of Joshua’s decisive overhand right that connected on Paul and captioned it “Congratulations AJ.” Two minutes later, he added: “Now I just need an Arsenal win and Andrew Tate to get knocked out and then this will be a fantastic weekend.”

The next day brought further drama on the opposite side of the globe. Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory at Everton, a result KSI highlighted in his banter. Separately, Andrew Tate’s own bout ended in defeat as he was defeated by Chase DeMoor in Dubai, suffering a nasty cut to the eye during the fight. In response, KSI posted: “This is the best weekend I’ve had this year omg,” followed by a final post that read “Christmas came early” accompanied by images of Paul and Tate looking downbeat.

The exchanges come amid a long-running feud between KSI and Paul that traces back to their early boxing clashes, which pitted their respective circles against one another and involved Paul’s brothers. Tate’s spat with KSI, meanwhile, intensified after Tate stepped in as Misfits Boxing’s CEO, replacing him in the leadership role even though KSI co-founded the company with manager Mams Taylor. The social-media back-and-forth underscores how combat-sport matchups and entertainment brands remain closely intertwined in online culture.

Across the thread of posts and results, observers noted how the weekend’s sequence fed into a broader narrative: online personalities weaving real-world sports outcomes into ongoing rivalries, while each victory or setback ripples through the communities surrounding the fighters and the brand entities they represent. As KSI continues to wield influence in this space, his public jabs against Paul and Tate illustrate how entertainment and sport increasingly converge, shaping fan discourse in real time.
