Jake Paul calls KSI a liar
Responding to KSI’s tweet, Jake Paul accused the fellow boxer of lying as he called for more restrictions in England Boxing rules.
Jake wrote in a tweet: “Why you lying still? No part of your glove made contact with Joe’s face on that elbow. That was not a hook. That was straight up a right elbow to the jawbone. Good form but wrong sport.
“Your whole promotion is sham. Bad look for the sport of boxing. Your “commission” PBA should hold itself to a higher standard. I hope England Boxing starts to oversee this product and makes it safer for everyone.”
