Jake Paul and Logan Paul are two of the most famous brothers in the world. The American social media stars have gained global fame thanks to their content creation and their many controversies. As they now try their hand at boxing, let’s look at how the brothers have changed the sport.

Jake Paul will face Ben Askren as the main event on Saturday, while his older brother, Logan Paul, will face boxing legend Floyd Mayweather later in the year. However, this is something that no one would have predicted a few months ago.
