Jake Paul and KSI are yet to come to terms on a boxing matchup, but the two YouTubers still cannot catch a break from each other.

Their latest online beef concerns Wade Plemons, a combat sports enthusiast and YouTuber who has featured on The DAZN Boxing Show and also acted as a host on KSI's Misfits.

KSI fired Plemons from the Misfits and went on a public rant against the YouTuber for his comments that played both sides. Plemons quoted the comments that seemingly did it for KSI on Twitter. The comments pertained to a possible meeting between the two social media stars.

“We heard from Jake in the IMPAULSIVE podcast, he does not think that the KSI fight sells like a Tommy Fury rematch and a Floyd Mayweather fight. I don’t know that I can disagree with him right now. I don’t, because they pulled some legitimately crazy numbers. And while I used to be on the train that Jake and KSI did similar numbers, I don’t know that’s the case right now.”

Jake Paul intervened and backed Plemons for speaking his mind without being biased.

"Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle. Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Now back to my vacation."

Paul also called on KSI to apologize publicly to Wade Plemons and fire his manager.

"This you?….talking about a REPORTER that worked DAZN shows? You are regressing maturity-wise. You remind me of me when I was 19, but you about to be 30. Apologize to Wade and fire the unprofessional manager."

KSI's manager suggests bizarre contract negotiation strategy for potential Jake Paul fight

KSI and Jake Paul's respective promoters and teams are locked in a stalemate when it comes to a potential matchup.

Both camps have accused the other of ducking the fight with no conclusive outcome on their talks so far. British boxing promoter and KSI's manager, Mams Taylor, suggested a bizarre contract negotiation strategy to overcome this.

Taylor tweeted that both parties should get together and live stream the negotiations for complete transparency to the fans and not leave until terms are 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"
