Logan Paul vs. Jake Paul—Who would come out on top in a brotherly boxing brawl?

YouTube sensation Jake Paul recently wrapped up his high-profile showdown with the legendary Mike Tyson. Now, it looks like he’s entering a new rivalry, this time with his older brother, Logan Paul—potentially setting the stage for the next major fight in combat sports. ‘The Problem Child’ defeated ‘Iron’ Mike at Jerry World last Friday via a unanimous decision. 

However, the fight itself was a massive snoozefest at best. Despite that, Netflix reported that the fight earned an impressive $18 million gate revenue. Meanwhile, it became the most-viewed boxing event in the sport’s history with 65 million viewers. They later updated the numbers, suggesting 108 million people tuned in to watch the fight.

This was despite a score of fans reporting streaming issues during the Netflix exclusive bout on the platform. Regardless, since the fight concluded, the Cleveland native seems to have received a fair number of challenges from boxers, including Artur Beterbiev and Daniel Dubois. While those could be lucrative fights, things seem to be heading in a different direction.

While appearing in the ‘Impaulsive’ podcast, Logan Paul probed his brother with the million-dollar question—“Who are you fighting next?” Some may have expected Paul to reveal a specific name, maybe Canelo Alvarez, since he has been speaking about that fight so much. “Everybody,” Paul said instead.

This seems to have prompted Logan to question whether Jake would fight him, with Jake Paul responding, “Yeah, I’ll fight you… Why not? You’re f**king tiny.” The WWE star reminded his little bro, “I’m taller than you. That doesn’t even make any sense.” However, it didn’t seem to have fazed the younger brother, who continued to mock Paul, stating, “You’re just a tiny little guy.”

“My tiny little Pomeranian buddy. He’s so tiny,” Jake continued. Hearing this, Paul later in the podcast hit back, stating, “Bro, your roasting is f**king trash,” noting he doesn’t want to ruin his younger brother’s boxing career and become the bad guy, as people already think. However, even this didn’t put an end to Jake’s mockery. 

“You’re like a tiny little speck of dust,” he said. Logan later probed his brother, questioning whether Jake truly believes he can defeat him in the ring. Jake responded, claiming his brother was “weak.” Logan quickly disagreed suggesting he was strong, noting, “At first, this podcast you’re like I’m brain dead I was like na. Now I actually kind of like think you are… I think you should go to a hospital.”

Mike Tyson wants Logan Paul after suffering defeat against Jake Paul

Tyson, 58, who appeared to be just a shadow of his former self in the ring against Jake Paul on Friday, pointed to Logan in the ring after the fight concluded, stating, “I don’t know, maybe his brother” when asked about future opponents. However, Logan quickly responded, saying, “Motherf****r I’d kill you, Mike!”

Later, appearing in an interview with the Daily Mail, Logan praised Tyson’s ability to fight at 58, stating, “I f***ing love Uncle Mike he’s just so… I mean, that was impressive, no? For a 58-year-old?” However, Paul insisted, “I think he wants money, I don’t think he wants to fight me!” Tyson is reportedly pocketing $20 million from the fight against Jake Paul—despite losing the bout.

That said, the conversation between Logan and Jake Paul hinted that the duo might step into the ring together in the future. However, it seemed more like playful banter between the siblings than a serious declaration. Only time will tell if this actually turns into a boxing match. Do you think they should fight?
