Logan's boxing debut against social media star KSI

Logan Paul debuted in a white-collar match with fellow youtube star KSI but ended up losing to him in the rematch, held under professional rules in Los Angeles. Paul’s younger brother Jake Paul is currently pursuing a professional boxing career, and has a record of 4-0, whereas Logan has continued to focus on the exhibition matches. As per Mirror, the 26-year-old Paul was quoted saying in August this year that he knows who is his next opponent but he cannot reveal the name. However, he suggested that the clash would be a professional match. Speaking more about his boxing career, he said, “This the coolest thing on the planet. You think about the Roman Colosseum when you watch the gladiators fight to the death. Look around. My brother filled this arena up in Cleveland, Ohio, his home city. It's the coolest thing anyone could ever ask for. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Fighters [are] modern-day gladiators. There is no more dangerous athlete. When the fighter walks into the room, everyone feels it. He's got a presence. And it's cool, I love it. I love the sport, I love entertaining”.
