YouTuber and boxer KSI has made a 'disgusting' prediction for the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson heavyweight fight that is streaming live on Netflix.
KSI and Paul have traded verbal blows for years at this stage, with the two YouTubers at the forefront of the so-called influencer boxing scene that started back when KSI fought Joe Weller in 2018.
Since then, KSI took on Jake's brother Logan Paul in two fights, drawing the first bout and winning the second. Jake took on KSI's brother Deji on the undercard of the first fight, comfortably beating the Brit whose corner threw in the towel.
KSI and Logan have since become friends and business partners through Prime sports drinks. But the bad blood with Jake remains.

With the younger Paul brother set to fight Tyson in front of more than 70,000 people in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, his YouTuber rival has weighed in to how things might go.
Paul, 27, will take on Tyson, 58, in a huge heavyweight clash live on Netflix.
It's a sanctioned professional fight and as such, has a number of regulations and rules in place to make sure everything is above board.

But not every rule is the same as a normal fight, with a few changes made for the bout.
Giving his verdict on the fight, KSI drew reference to the controversial age gap between the two fighters.
He also said the outcome will be obvious as a result.
"Jake Paul will knock out Mike Tyson," KSI boldly said on X (formerly known as Twitter).

"This will not be close at all. Boxing is a young man's game and Mike is 58 years old.
"They're sending a lamb to the slaughter and it's disgusting."
Speaking about his chances, Tyson has answered the criticism over his age and what it means for his chances and potential health risks.

He said: "I feel great. I’ve got the rounds in me. Listen, I’m sparring young guys, thirties, twenties, I’m sparring young guys and they’re hitting me real hard.
"It wasn’t a picnic when I first started training. I’m fighting with younger guys and they’re really giving me a shellacking at first. I’m doing my share."
Licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the fight will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the main event ring walk taking place at 10pm local time on Friday (15 November), which is 4am GMT on Saturday (16 November).
