Jake Paul is willing to pay KSI $5million to face him in the boxing ring - but doesn't expect his YouTube rival to accept.
The Paul family has a long-running feud with their social media rivals with Jake's brother Logan losing to KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Olatunji, in their rematch in 2018.
The pair had fought to a draw in Manchester the year before in a white-collar bout - with Jake beating KSI's brother Deji on the undercard.
Jake and KSI have long been paired as potential opponents but Paul has since embarked on a professional career while KSI, who is also a rapper, is yet to return to the ring.
And Paul, who will face Tommy Fury on December 18 in Florida, revealed he was willing to offer his rival a seven-figure sum.
"I think KSI should retire from everything he's doing," Paul said. [He has] Seven million monthly listeners, that means he makes $30,000 a month from Spotify. That's $360,000 a year, versus fighting me for $5m. You can see why he's scared."
Paul has instead admitted he is more likely to fight KSI's trainer Viddal Riley who has won his four professional bouts to date.
Paul has amassed the same record having beaten fellow YouTube star AnEsonGib, former NBA star Nate Robinson, former MMA stand-out Ben Askren and, most recently, Woodley.
"At this point, yeah, I would beat Viddal," added Paul. "That's the level this has gotten to; it used to be that Viddal was training KSI to come beat us but that guy's scared.
Will Jake Paul knock out Tommy Fury? Let us know in the comments section below
"I believe I'm better than Viddal, 110 per cent. After I beat Tommy, who knows. I know Viddal has been... I have nothing but respect for Viddal, he's a dope guy. We squashed out beef, I'm not talking s*** I just believe I'm better.
"F*** KSI at this rate, we may as well make that fight happen. After I beat Tommy he'll be the only guy from the UK left."
Paul later announced his fight with Fury will take place in Tampa and will be held over eight rounds at a catchweight of 192lb.
Paul said: "It's finally official. Timothy had no choice but to sign the contract so he could finally pay his bar tabs, afford a shirt for the club, and stop living off Molly!
"December 18 in Tampa Bay, I'm changing this w*****'s name to Tommy Fumbles and celebrating with Tom Brady. Pucker up Timmy... it's time to kiss your last name and your family's boxing legacy goodbye."
