Jake Paul mocks big brother Logan Paul, asks him to ‘retire’ from boxing: ‘You don't fight real fights’
CLEVELAND, OHIO: In advance of Logan Paul's match with Dillon Danis, his brother Jake Paul has him that he isn't a "real fighter" and that he should retire.
On the Misfits Boxing Prime Card, which also features KSI vs Tommy Fury along with Conor McGregor's longtime training partner Danis who Logan is slated to square off against.
Logan hasn't fought in a boxing match since going the distance in a non-scoring exhibition match against boxing icon Floyd Mayweather in June 2021.
On the other hand, after losing to Fury in February, Jake turned everything around by defeating UFC star Nate Diaz by decision on August 5.
Jake Paul says Logan Paul is not a ‘real fighter’
Logan stated to begin the conversation, “Tommy Fury is on my f**king radar. I've got him in my scopes, I wanted him when Jake was fighting him and I'm going to be back in the conversation.”
However, Jake declared, “I've got to finish him off first, I've got to handle that business first,” to which Logan said, “We'll see bro, because you definitely sniped the Nate Diaz fight from me and I've been so lenient in giving you your opponents.”
“It’s not your option to give me my opponents. You haven't fought anyone and you don't fight real fights. It's not your option to give me my opponents, you're not even a fighter. You do exhibitions and lost like four years ago, so it's not like your option to give me my fights,” Jake added.
Logan responded by asserting that he is a stronger boxer than his brother and used their match against Mayweather as evidence. “Me and Nate Diaz have been talking about that for years then you popped up like 'No, now it's my turn' and tried to get the fight in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
Logan Paul extends support to KSI
Logan Paul believes that if KSI beats Tommy Fury in their scheduled boxing match, then Jake Paul will have to fight a rematch against Fury and win it convincingly for the Jake Paul-KSI match to happen.
During a recent podcast, Logan Paul stated, “I think I may have put the seed in KSI’s head. I did say that if it was KSI’s original thought and If I was KSI and I beat Tommy, a part of me would be like ‘yo’.”
He further added, “But then, Jake would have to fight Tommy again in a rematch where if he beats him convincingly, then there’s some meat in that Jake Paul-KSI feud.”
Fury caused Jake Paul to suffer his first defeat as a professional boxer on February 26. Since then, KSI has been aiming for a matchup with 'TNT' to support his claim to be the top influencer boxer.
Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis was not exactly anticipated to be on the schedule, though. A boxing battle against KSI was set for January 14 as a way for Danis to resume fighting.
Because 'El Jefe' withdrew from the battle during fight week, several people thought he would never be welcomed back to Misfits.
