Jake Paul vs Logan Paul: Who Is a Better Boxer? Stats, Record, Net Worth Comparison

Social media sensations- Logan Paul and Jake Paul are now boxers. Well, they are nowhere close to the professional elites but the Paul brothers are two of the biggest names in the combat sports world today.  While Jake has embarked on a successful professional boxing career, Logan has made a name for himself in the WWE, where he is a regular.

Their internet stardom, brashy personality, and ability to garner attention have made their fights more successful than most boxing events. No matter what they do or whom they fight, ‘The Maverick’ and ‘The Problem Child’ always grab the headlines. Jake Paul, for example, has been constantly feuding with Conor McGregor, challenging the Irishman to fight him in the boxing ring. But there is one question that a few fans still have: who is the better pugilist between the two? Let’s have a look.

Comparing Jake Paul and Logan Paul’s boxing career

It is safe to say that Jake Paul is by far the better boxer of the two brothers, based on their fighting history and the quality of their opponents. Logan Paul was part of the first wave of  YouTubers entering the boxing ring when he faced fellow YouTuber KSI for the first time in 2018 for the YouTube boxing championship. Their bout was an exhibition, that ended in an unsatisfying draw. However, the duo rematched in a six-round pro boxing match under the official Marquess of Queensberry rules in 2019, where KSI eked out a split decision victory.

Then, he would face Floyd Mayweather, perhaps the greatest defensive boxer ever, in an exhibition, going the distance with ‘Money Mayweather’. It should be noted, however, that Paul outweighed the former multiple-division champion by about 35 pounds, giving the WWE star a huge advantage.

Paul’s second pro-boxing match was a grudge match against arch-nemesis Dillon Danis. Danis, known for his prowess as a social media troll, would relentlessly troll Logan by targeting his girlfriend, Nina Agdal. Their October 2023 bout was dominated by a bellicose Logan, who went on to win the fight in the final moments of the fight as Danis went in for an illegal takedown.

‘The Maverick’ is currently 1-1 in boxing. Meanwhile, Jake Paul has a much better record of, having started his boxing journey with a TKO win over Ali Eson Gib in January 2020.

The outcome brought all the spotlights on Jake Paul and he followed it up with his sensational KO win over NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Tyson vs Jones Jr. on November 28. This was followed by a bevy of retired or past-their-prime mixed martial artists, starting with Ben Askren in 2021, whom he knocked out in the very first round.

This was followed by two boxing matches against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, whom he defeated both times, with a split decision in their first, August 2021 fight, and a knockout in the rematch that December.

MMA GOAT contender Anderson Silva was next, who went the distance with ‘The Problem Child’, who was declared the winner on the judges’ scorecard in their 2022 clash. ‘Love Island’ alumni and fellow celebrity boxer Tommy Fury was next. The younger Fury handed Paul the first loss of his career, managing to win a razor-thin split decision over the former Disney star.

Another fan-favorite mixed martial artist in the form of Nate Diaz made his pro boxing debut against Jake at their 2023 fight. Jake notched up another easy victory, winning a unanimous decision by a landslide against the Stockton native.

After this, however, Jake got serious, and fought and defeated two professional boxers with respectable records in Andre August and Ryan Bourland, defeating both in their December 2023; and March 2024 bouts respectively. Given the vast gap in both men’s fighting record and opponents, it is clear that Jake Paul is a better boxer than Logan Paul.

Will Jake Paul vs Logan Paul ever happen?

Jake Paul had earlier claimed that he wouldn’t want to fight his brother Logan Paul because of his love for him. Logan, on the other hand, has been calling out his younger brother for a fight since 2021. in 2024, the WWE star even offered to step in for an injured Mike Tyson, who was supposed to face Jake in a boxing match originally on July 20 but got injured, and the fight was postponed. And Jake, contrary to his earlier comments was all for it.

“So Mike Tyson’s out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all,” Logan tweeted. “Mum doesn’t want me to KO you but f*** it. Loser has to change their last name. #PaulvsPaul,” Jake responded, welcoming the challenge.

In addition, the co-founder of MVP, Jake Paul’s promotion company, Nakisa Bidarian has confirmed in a July 2024 interview with Ariel Helwani that a fight between the Paul brothers would definitely happen at some time in the future as Netflix, which is taking its first steps in the fight game, is willing to pay a lot of money for it.

“They have the utmost love for each other, but there is a competitive nature between them, absolutely. This is an older brother, younger brother dynamic always, right? And I do believe you’ll see that fight at some point,” Bidarian said. Along with their combat sports career, there is another aspect where the two compete.
