KSI’s manager slams Jake Paul as ‘delusional’ after shock talk of fighting Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez

KSI’S manager has slammed talk of Jake Paul fighting Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez as “delusional.”

The YouTuber-turned-boxer moved up to heavyweight in his last bout to defeat Mike Tyson in their controversial Netflix clash.

And Paul revealed plans to drop back down to cruiserweight to try and tempt Mexican superstar Canelo up for a mega-fight.

But his promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian refused to rule out remaining at heavyweight to sensationally fight the likes of Joshua.

That idea was laughed at by Mams Taylor, who manages Paul’s rival KSI while also running Misfits Boxing.

Taylor told SunSport ahead of Misfits Qatar on DAZN PPV: “If Nakisa puts Jake in that position where he fights Anthony Joshua or Canelo or Dubois, he could seriously get his client hurt.

“So either he’s really delusional or he only gives a s*** about the money.

“But once Jake has that fight, maybe he’ll come back down to earth and have a real talk whoever it’s with on that level.”

Paul put on TWO STONE to fight Tyson at 16st 2lb but he looks ready to come back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.

Iron Mike, 58, returned for his first professional fight in almost 20 YEARS as the bout was slammed due to the age-gap.

But still a stunning 108m tuned in to watch the slammed showdown on Netflix – causing the site to CRASH.

Taylor still hopes a grudge match between KSI, 31, and Paul, 27, can be secured but the huge weight difference threatens to get in the way.

KSI was 183lb (13st 1lb) in October when he was controversially beaten by Tommy Fury, 25, on points.

That is THREE STONE away from Paul – leaving Taylor ready to flip a coin to decide what weight the bitter YouTube bout is fought at.

He said: “The Jake fight is something we’ve wanted and there was talk of a coin toss, we said, ‘Fine, let’s do a coin toss.’

“But the weights have to be fair. If you want 192lb on one side then we want 183lb on the other side. If you want 190, we’ll take 185.

“Some that were the terms we gave, take-it-or-leave it, we’ll even fight in America in Vegas. We’ve really tried to make it happen.”
