Logan Paul's early life
Logan Alexander Paul was brought up in Ohio with his younger brother Jake, who is also a YouTuber and internet personality. Paul started making internet videos for a YouTube channel called 'Zoosh' when he was 10 years old. In 2013, registered his YouTube channel, 'TheOfficialLoganPaul' and gained a massive following. Later, he created the 'Logan Paul Vlogs' channel on August 29, 2015, which has as of now, more than 22 million subscribers. Apart from being a YouTuber, Paul is an actor, podcaster and professional boxer as well.
Talking about the 'big fight' earlier this week, Paul said he was looking to defeat Mayweather in the first round itself. But when talking to USA TODAY Sports, he sounded a little less energetic. “I think it’s going to be a dogfight,’’ He said, “I think I’m going to make this very hard for Floyd. As we know and have heard of the legend that is Floyd Mayweather, he’s 44 years old and Father Time, I would imagine and bet, has taken its toll on Floyd. I’m going to make him dig very, very deep."
Paul also mentioned, “If you took a cruiserweight, a good cruiserweight, and put him in with Floyd Mayweather right now, what do you think would happen?" You know, there’s weight classes in boxing for a reason." He then added, "Part of the reason I’m going into this fight as confident as I am, it’s because my style is atypical. I’m versatile, I’m elusive, my reflexes are really, really good, I’m fast, I’m strong. And as much as trouble as we have trying find guys who can give me a look like Floyd, I’d be surprised if he’s having an easy time finding someone who can give him a look like me."
Mayweather, on the other hand, did not sound concerned during a May 6 news conference to promote his match. “I don’t have to talk about what I’m going to do,'' he said. "The world knows what I’m going to do."
