Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib being negotiated as Eddie Hearn continues YouTube venture

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is attempting to organise another fight between famous YouTubers, with AnEsonGib against Jake Paul in the pipeline.

The rematch between KSI and Logan Paul will go ahead on November 9, with the Staples Center set to be a sell-out event after their first fight in 2018 was described as "The Biggest Internet Event in History."

Now Hearn is trying to get AnEsonGib, also known as Ali, who has 1.86m subscribers on YouTube, and Paul, who has 19.6m subscribers, into the ring together for another lucrative fight.

Matchroom Boxing posted a video of Hearn in conversation with Ali, in which Hearn says: "We're talking, me and everybody else, trying to get it done. Not for this card, but shortly after. We'll speak to your man and then let you boys have some fun."

Ali replies by saying: "I'm f****** excited" and laughing, while Hearn jokes "get in the gym mate!"

Both AnEsonGib and Jake Paul almost came to blows during the KSI v Logan Paul press conference, and it appears the two YouTube stars are desperate to get at each other in a fight.

Jake Paul spoke to Sky Sports and confirmed he is looking to settle matters with AnEsonGib despite some claiming he is trying to avoid the potential bout.

He said: "The UK fans, KSI fans, they all say I'm ducking him, and my message to you is this guy sucks at fighting, I'm going to beat his a** one day and he's 5'8, got tired in five minutes in his last fight and punched himself in the face two times. What is this kid doing?"

AnEsonGib replied by saying: "You can't run from big Gibber no more, I'm everywhere baby! That's all I've got to say."
