Are KSI and Logan Paul Friends?

This question stormed the internet when surprisingly the two dynamos of influencer boxing Logan Paul and KSI came together. It was nothing less than a shock for their fans. But good moves are always welcomed, and as a result, when the duo made it public that they have ended their intense rivalry and replaced it with a good bond of friendship, they received widespread acceptance.

Yes, they are friends now. Though it did not happen easily. How did the duo become friends after being rivals for so long?

It all started with a business deal. The result of this produced a sports drink ‘Prime’ hydration which recently collaborated with the UFC. Let’s look at how the friendship kindled between the two.

How did the beef between Logan Paul and KSI begin?

The British musician and prizefighter crossed paths with the American in 2018 on social media. This is where their infamous beef began. The duo took shots at each other and wanted to destroy one another. KSI who already had one fight on his resume, gave it a new turn. He called out the Ohio native for a boxing match. Maverick, who was at the height of his YouTube career, accepted the challenge and decided to handle the business in the ring.

Negotiations began, and they immediately reached the conclusion that they will lock horns in an amateur boxing match first, which took place on 25 August 2018 at Manchester Arena, and then later meet in a professional bout which took place in February 2019 in the United States. The roadmap was clear. Initially, KSI called out the younger brother Jake Paul, but the latter stepped aside and gave way for his elder brother to face the British YouTuber.

Both fighters did an admirable job in promoting the event. They created a buzz that electrified the atmosphere. Finally, the contest took place and ended in a draw.

A few months later, as per the contract, they met in a professional rematch.

The fight was close and competitive, but the decision went in KSI’s favor and he took a 1-0 edge over Maverick. Following this, they kept on beefing. Folks who had an eye on the development between the two speculated that they might fight again. But unfortunately, it never happened.

When did KSI and Logan Paul become friends?

Things between the two began taking a new course after Paul invited KSI on his podcast ‘imPaulsive Clips’ in July 2021. They talked to each other, took digs, and realized that they were not made for beef.

A few months later in January, they came up with a collaboration for a sports drink. Since then, things between the two have only improved. Now one can find them joking and laughing together.

Talking about this infamous beef, Paul said in Andrew Schulz’s podcast, “The beef was real, yeah, we hated each other. That’s why Prime has a unique sense of reliability and hope that you can amend, and make friends.” “F**k the beef, we’re like the same person but across the pond. In a way, we’re really alike. I did a show for him, and he was surprised that I said yes to doing it. I didn’t care about any qualms we had, it didn’t mean anything. Whatever, we had a good go.”

Next, he added, “Then I had him on the podcast and learned he’s a f**kin great guy. I brought him Prime because I thought it would be a great business opportunity with an incredible story.”
