YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul is back in the headlines, making heads turn with his next fight announcement—sort of. You see, just recently, the Cleveland native hopped on X to reveal what appeared to be his next fight announcement. And boy was it earth-shaking! The post he shared alluded to his next opponent being his own brother Logan Paul.

He described it as being “The moment you’ve waited a decade for,” while also revealing a date for whatever the Paul brothers are doing together—March 27th on HBO Max. Fans were skeptical about the announcement immediately since the Pauls aren’t strangers to tricky marketing hype. And those suspicions were immediately proven true!

Acclaimed journalist Mike Coppinger responded to the post on X, suggesting that the event Paul was promoting through his post is a reality series. However, this left everyone with one question digging a hole in their minds—would Jake Paul ever fight his brother Logan Paul? The pair have had conversations about one previously, and most people are on board for it.

And the answer seems to be yes! While appearing in the ‘All The Smoke Fight’ Podcast several hours ago, Paul was discussing his blockbuster fight against Mike Tyson. He revealed that before settling on Tyson, there were three other opponents, he and his team had in mind. At this point, almost everyone knows one of them was Tommy Fury.

But Fury and his father refused the fight offer. This prompted the host to probe Paul and his business partner, Nikisha Bidarian, to reveal the two other names. “Logan Paul!” screamed Bidarian as the hosts tried to convince Paul to spill the beans. He explained he wanted to make the fight, noting the only condition was, “If it was going to be a straight up true real fight.”

Shocked by the revelation, the hosts pressed Paul about whether he really would have fought his brother. “I’m okay with fighting my brother because I wouldn’t have to be the one that dealt with losing,” Pauls said confidently. He went as far as to suggest, “Like, emotionally, if that would scar him, then he shouldn’t do it.”

In the meantime, Logan Paul’s former rival has claimed that he knew it wasn’t a real fight all along.

Dillon Danis on the teased Jake Paul vs. Logan Paul fight

The WWE star Logan Paul and Dillon Danis have a history, having fought each other in a boxing match in October 2023. Danis had taken things way too far in a bid to promote their bout by making some very derogatory remarks about Logan’s now-wife Nina Agdal. Logan’s wife even sued the MMA fighter for the same.

Regardless, upon learning about Paul’s announcement on social media, Danis called it a “bulls**t reality TV show.” He wrote, “Dillon Danis knows all. This isn’t a fight; they’re just pretending to build up hype, probably for either some bulls**t reality TV show or documentary. Mark my words.” To Dillion’s credit, it did turn out to be a reality show.
