Jake Paul claims ‘scared’ Tommy Fury and KSI will NEVER want to fight him after he takes on Hasim Rahman Jr

JAKE PAUL is adamant neither Tommy Fury nor KSI will ever set foot inside the ring with him.

The YouTuber turned boxer is still embroiled in a war of words with the pair, with his feud with Fury dating back to last March and his rivalry with KSI stretching back to late 2019.

Paul has had two fights with Fury fall through in the space of six months, with the latest cancellation paving the way for a clash with Hasim Rahman Jr next weekend.

And The Problem Child firmly believes the Love Island hunk won't want anything to do with him after he's through with Rahman Jr.

He told : “I just don’t think Tommy will fight me after he sees what I do to someone who’s more experienced than him.

“He’s [Rahman Jr.] heavier than him [Tommy], he’s taller than him.

"Tommy is already scared now so after I beat a professional boxer what do you think is going to happen?”

Paul, 25, had a heated face-off with fellow YouTuber KSI - real name Olajide Olatunji - after winning his professional debut against AnEson Gib in January 2020.

Their staredown came two months after KSI's controversial split-decision victory over Paul's older brother Logan in November 2019.

But the youngest Paul brother doesn't foresee a fight with the Brit ever coming to fruition.

The former Disney star said: "I don't think he ever fights me. Why would he sign up for that risk?

"He knows what would happen… I wouldn't even have to train to fight KSI.

"I could make $20/30million, show up eating pizza and knock him out. Two rounds max."

Paul will bid to stretch his unbeaten record to 6-0 with victory over the 12-1 Rahman Jr - the son of former heavyweight champ Hasim Sr - at Madison Square Garden on Saturday week.

He told ESPN: "I'm literally crazy. There's no reason why I should be taking this fight.

"I want to prove to the boxing world that I'm a real dog, which I am.

"And I'm gonna go in there against this 12-1 kid who is bigger than Tommy Fury, faster than Tommy Fury -- all of these things.

"And I'm gonna put on the performance of a lifetime and just shut everyone up."
