KSI thinks Jake Paul had a "terrible" performance against Nate Diaz despite winning a one-sided decision.
Paul got back in the win column for the first time since his loss to Love Island star Tommy Fury in February by beating Diaz with scores of 97-92, 98-91 and 98-91. 'The Problem Child' had an excellent start to the fight as Diaz was on wobbly legs before eventually being dropped in the fifth round.
In typical Diaz style, he showed real grit in the later rounds but falling behind on the scorecards cost him as a late fightback wasn't enough. Paul's bitter YouTube rival KSI was less than impressed as he tweeted moments after the fight: That Jake Paul performance was terrible. October 14th you get to watch a real fight and challenge."

KSI looks to do what Paul couldn't by beating Fury as they meet at the AO Arena in Manchester in October. 'The Nightmare' had his latest win against Joe Fournier overturned to a no-contest as the fight-ending blow came by way of an illegal elbow. Fury hasn't fought since his split decision win against Paul in Saudi Arabia.

Paul is keen on avenging his loss to Fury as a potential clash against KSI has also been discussed for several years. The YouTuber looks set to rematch Diaz in MMA before either of those fights as the pair finally agreed on their second fight just moments after Paul's win. Diaz was refusing to commit himself to a second fight before stepping foot in the ring but welcomed Paul's offer as he doubled down on it in his post-fight interview.

Let’s run it back in MMA to make it fair. I won one, now it's your chance in home territory of MMA. He’s real tough, that’s what he’s known for but tough in this sport doesn’t work. I knocked him and won basically every round, I had him hurt in the first round and he kept on coming.
"Let's do it," Diaz replied to Paul's offer. "We're going to have to co-promote with Real Fight Inc. He's big and he's tough, I wish I could have done better things but some s***, it didn't go the way I wanted it to. I should have trained better and done better things but it’s all good. He won this one but i'll fight anyone, I don't give a f***."
