There&#8217;s definitely still unsettled tension there, figuring out who the better man is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I don&#8217;t think he likes that I knocked him down and I don&#8217;t like that he won. So I think we need to settle that.

I&#8217;m focusd on this path and it&#8217;s the path I&#8217;ve always said i was gonna go on.\u00a0KSI\u00a0has never stepped up to the plate to make it happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve agreed to his terms, I&#8217;ve said you can be the A-side, I&#8217;ve said we can do it at 185lbs, 50\/50 split, there&#8217;s just radio silence. I think especially after his loss to Tommy he&#8217;s come out and said it&#8217;s not something I&#8217;m interested in and I&#8217;m gonna take a break. I don&#8217;t know if it will ever happen, but I&#8217;m ready.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>This year has been a successful one for the Pauls &#8211; with Jake and his brother Logan both enjoying lucrative fights and deals. Logan in particular has made headlines for becoming the United States champion in the WWE &#8211; and he also raked in a healthy sum for facing MMA artist Dillon Danis on the Fury v KSI undercard.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/18\/11\/77961291-12765061-image-a-12_1700307426667.jpg\" height=\"416\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>He said he was not chasing a fight against KSI, who he ridiculed for his &#8216;hugging fest&#8217; against Fury<\/p>\n<p>However, the build-up to that fight descended into an ugly farce when Danis proceeded to goad Paul&#8217;s fiancee Nina Agdal by posting X-rated photos on her &#8211; almost daily &#8211; on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danis also made a succession of vile taunts before being dominated in the ring &#8211; and was then disqualified for attempting jiu-jitsu moves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Paul said Danis threw away the opportunity to become a big name in boxing with his conduct, which he then failed to back-up and lost respect in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He dug himself into the hole with what he did and the way he promoted it without backing it up,&#8217; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The word embarrasing was trending on\u00a0Twitter\u00a0for 24 hours talking about him.
