Jake and Logan Paul are about to come to blows. But no, this is not a family feud but a full-blown boxing match, or at least that’s what Jake claimed in a recent post on social media, sending his followers into a frenzy.
The Paul brothers are used to being in the spotlight. They are among the pioneers of so-called influencer boxing, and their respective careers have kept them in the public eye. While Logan is one of the WWE stars, Jake is trying to make a name for himself as a professional boxer.
Just this past November, the “Problem Child” beat former champion Mike Tyson in a controversial fight that broke viewership records on Netflix. Logan, meanwhile, was recently in the news for a potential fight against former UFC champion Connor McGregor that was ultimately canceled, but this announcement is on another level.
The Pauls fight
There’s no doubt that Jake is a consummate publicist. The controversial boxer posted a picture of him and Logan facing each other head-on to his social media accounts captioning it, “The moment you’ve waited a decade for… March 27th on @StreamOnMax.”
The younger Paul didn’t give any further details, but the gist was clear: he and his brother would face off in a couple of months. There had been no prior indications that such a fight was in the brothers’ plans, but there’s no doubt that the event would draw large crowds.
The announcement took the media and fans by surprise, but some analysts are giving Jake the favorite. The younger Paul has been very active in boxing, while Logan only had two real fights before dedicating himself full-time to WWE.

Fan reaction
As more details come to light, Paul’s fans are divided in their opinions. Some believe Jake will win the fight, like this user who said, “Easy dub for Jake, gonna wipe the canvas with Logan.” Nevertheless, another claimed, “Who’s gonna win? I think your brother got this.”
It should be remembered, however, that Jake is well-known for this kind of stunt. A few months ago, when he was looking to face off with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, the “Problem Child” crafted a similar poster, claiming that a fight with the super middleweight champion was on the cards. What’s the truth? We’ll soon find out.
