Jake Paul and KSI have been engaged in a feud for quite some time now, and the prospect of a bout between them is now closer than it has ever been.

'The Problem Child' recently took to X, seemingly to refute the reported pay-per-view (PPV) sales of KSI's match against Tommy Fury.

Media reports suggested that the KSI vs. Fury match pulled in more than 1.3 million PPV purchases. However, Jake Paul contested these figures and asserted that it actually had 700,000 buys. In response to a video clip where 'TNT' predicted Paul would defeat KSI in a potential bout, the 26-year-old American claimed:

"Hahahaha. KSI is going to appeal this interview. 700K buys globally they did. Great number. Less than Tommy and I but still a great outcome thanks to Logan being on the card."

Check out Paul's comments below:

For context, after his loss to Tommy Fury at the MF & DAZN: X Series event on October 14, KSI has officially filed an appeal. 'The Nightmare' contested the majority decision (later changed to unanimous) outcome by labeling it a "robbery." To address this, KSI has retained legal counsel to submit an appeal to the Professional Boxing Association, the fight's sanctioning authority.

However, Jake Paul's remarks stirred a response from Mams Taylor, the co-founder of Misfits Boxing, who fired back and provided what he claimed were the accurate PPV figures:

"First of all you and Tommy did 550k Globally (most from UK) Secondly, you and Nate barely did 350k 😂 Thirdly, you guys put Showtime in $16M of debt and contributed to their downfall because you demanded crazy undeserved upfront fees and ppv’s tanked. Fourthly, we did more than 700k but nice try. What else?"
