Jake Paul will face the biggest test of his professional career this Friday, six years after Logan introduced influencer boxing to the pro ranks.
In November 2019, Logan Paul and KSI fought in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, which was called then. Their first white collar fight ended in a tie a year earlier. Eddie Hearn put the fight on as one of Matchroom Boxing’s early US events, drawing over 10,000 to the arena and 350,000 on PPV.
The American had entered the fight with a strong advantage, given his size and athletic background. It all ended in tears when he lost by a controversial split decision. This led him to fire his trainer, two-time heavyweight champ Shannon Briggs.

Both Jake Paul and his brother Logan were initially trained for their white collar debuts by the renowned New York amateur coach Milton ‘Supreme’ Lacroix. For the KSI rematch they chose a world champion to be their opponent.
His large personality unfortunately ended up dominating the fight week. He famously got into a brawl when he was fighting with future cruiserweight competitor Viddal Riley.
