KSI Says He’s Done With Boxing, Rejects $20–$30 Million Jake Paul Fight

He cites a punishing training grind, choosing to refocus on content creation with Misfits Boxing.

Overview

  • KSI announced his retirement from competitive boxing during an interview on The Ranveer Show, confirming he will not fight again.
  • He said he declined offers ranging from $20 million to $30 million to face longtime rival Jake Paul.
  • He described the physical and mental strain of training camps and a loss of passion after his 2023 decision defeat to Tommy Fury as key reasons for stepping away.
  • He plans to concentrate on content creation and remain involved in building Misfits Boxing rather than returning to the ring.
  • He said repeated attempts to make the Jake Paul bout failed as Paul changed weight and chose other opponents, while Paul’s sixth-round TKO loss to Anthony Joshua and a reported medical suspension further reduce near-term prospects.
