Jake Paul leaked his private messages with KSI to his fans.
Youtuber-turned-boxer KSI is set to take on Tommy Fury in a highly anticipated bout on October 14.
However, KSI has also long been linked with a fight with fellow boxing misfit Paul.

The pair were involved in behind-the-scenes negotiations for the fight at the end of last year, but talks collapsed, with KSI instead pursuing his upcoming showdown with Fury.
Paul and KSI first traded insults after the British fighter defeated the Problem Child’s brother, Logan in their rematch.
While the pair agreed to a showdown in future, KSI decided to take a break from the ring and focus on his career in music.
Now with the KSI and Paul's respective careers going from strength to strength, it is hoped that they can finally lace up their gloves and end a feud which has stretched over five years.
Talks have been held between the two camps this year but to little avail with both fighters having accused the other of ducking.

Earlier this week, Paul leaked a message which suggested that KSI’s management team were responsible for ending a call over the terms of their fight.
In a video, that can be watched above, Paul mocked KSI, claiming he ducked the pair’s showdown, before proceeding to mock his rival’s hairline.
Paul told Happy Punch: “I DMed KSI. I said, ‘You and your team are so pressed by me it’s hilarious brother.
“‘Don’t be so insecure man. I have a f**ked up hairline too. Not as bad as yours obviously.

“‘But I still have confidence. You can do it.’”
