Viddal Riley has always been very active with his views about potential boxing bouts on his YouTube channel and social media. The current English cruiserweight champion has the experience of fighting 10 professional boxing bouts and winning them all.
It’s been already 3 to 4 years now, and fans are anticipating that Jake Paul and KSI will be competing against each other, but neither of them ever came to a conclusion. Fans want to make this fight happen, but Logan Paul is urging his brother to end the beef. Viddal Riley, the former coach of KSI, is not supporting fans but has something to offer in comparison.
Viddal Riley wants the Jake Paul vs. KSI fight to happen sooner
The former coach of KSI has often talked about his ex-student’s ability on his YouTube channel. Viddal Riley recently uploaded a video on the biggest video-sharing platform about the impact of Jake Paul vs. KSI, and he didn’t shy away from comparing it with a former boxing legend’s bout.
Riley believes the bout between famous internet celebrities has more impact in terms of PPVs than the recording of a professional bout between the former legends like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
On RIL & Wills, Viddal Riley said, “If it doesn’t happen, it will be one of the most disappointing things ever. I can’t lie about it because it will feel like an industry was created for no reason. This needs to happen more than Pacquiao-Mayweather did. It feels that way. By the time it happened, everyone got accustomed, but they were not accustomed.”
Viddal Riley believes people are now ready to watch what both the famous personalities of social media can do when they collide in the boxing ring.
Is KSI going to be Jake Paul’s next opponent?
JJ has won lots of awards in his successful music career. Later, after joining boxing, he also maintained an undefeated boxing record until Tommy Fury broke his undefeated streak on October 14, 2024.
Jake Paul and KSI both never missed the chance to make sarcastic comments about each other on their social media accounts. Recently, when Jake Paul was preparing for his first professional boxing bout for the boxing title contenders list, the 30-year-old JJ made comments on the credibility of bringing viewers to a non-pay-per-views bout.
Paul did secure the victory on December 15th, 2023, and now “Problem Child” is looking for his next potential bout in March to progress in his professional boxing career. So, it is a clear indication that KSI and Jake’s bout is still under that column where rumors are made but never taken seriously. Maybe they both will reach an agreement on the fan’s anticipated bout sometime soon.
