KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has suggested getting all concerned parties in a room and not leaving until the Jake Paul fight is a ’done deal' while live-streaming the entire process.

KSI vs. Jake Paul is a fight that has been anticipated for well over three years, but has not been made possible due to stalled negotiations.Taylor made a tweet suggesting that the fighters and their respective teams should get in a room and negotiate while live-streaming and not leave until the bout is agreed.

"Let’s get everyone in a room and not leave until it’s a done deal and livestream the whole thing for all to see! #NothingToHide.”

The Watford-born YouTuber quickly agreed with his manager, replying to his tweet saying:

“Let’s do it."

While KSI will face Joe Fournier on May 13 in Wembley, Jake Paul has the option of activating a rematch clause to face Tommy Fury after he suffered his first loss to the British professional boxer.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' has insisted that he will be retiring after he beats Jake Paul, and that facing the ‘The Problem Child’ will be the last hurdle for him in boxing, after which he will hang up the gloves.

Reports were being circled around on social media that ’material terms' were agreed between the two sides after KSI's team sent a bout agreement to Jake Paul, following which Paul declined to participate.

MVP's official Twitter handle responded to the tweet by a fan reiterating the rumor by asking the Twitter user who “they checked with” before tweeting it “like it’s a fact”. MVP further cleared the air on these rumors in a statement given to the Mirror, and said:

"MVP sent the original offer to Misfits for Jake Paul vs KSI on November 28, 2022 for the fight to occur in December of 2023 per Misfits desire to have JJ get at least two more fights in for experience, We also agreed to do it in the UK as Jake didn’t want any hurdles.
"[This is] even though Jake is clearly the A-Side by any box office metric, internet search trends or KSI's own words where he consistently says Jake is his ultimate goal. We offered 10 rounds, an 18x18 ring, 185lb, sanctioned by BBBofC, 50/50 deal. Both fighters as A-Side, splitting A-side designations."
