While Logan Paul isn’t thrilled with the idea of his business partner KSI boxing against his brother Jake Paul, the internet celebrity has secured an official pick for the final fight, siding with blood above all else.
KSI and Jake Paul have been on a collision course for years at this point. The two social media stars from other sides of the globe have largely helped to propel the idea of boxing from influencers into the mainstream through high profile fights and regular competitions.

“But I know how hard (KSI) works, I know how hard Jake works. This is a shitty position to be in. It’s a shame these guys chose to hate each other.

Ultimately, Logan will be there when that happens, but he won’t be rooting for either party. Instead, it will be family over business and friendship as he supports his younger brother through one of his biggest struggles yet.
