Logan Paul recently came clean on a few reasons obstructing his brother Jake Paul's fight against KSI. Despite Logan's efforts, the Jake vs. KSI fight has been through multiple cancellations to date.

Logan has also locked horns with KSI twice inside the boxing ring. Their first fight took place in August 2018 and ended in a majority draw. However, 'The Maverick' endured a split-decision loss against the British YouTuber-boxer in the rematch. Several videos on the web showcased Jake breaking down in tears backstage after his elder brother's loss.

Since then, negotiations related to the coveted Jake vs. KSI encounter have fallen flat several times. A recent X update from @IfnBoxing showcased Logan echoing Jake's stance on IMPAULSIVE, as he mentioned that the weight class still stands as a hard-to-negotiate factor related to the fight.

However, the former WWE United States champion also mentioned that Jake was more eager to take on regular boxers instead of social media influencer-boxers like KSI:

"I’m trying so hard [to make the Jake vs. KSI fight], but there’s a weight problem at the moment. Jake’s technically the fat guy… [Also] he genuinely believes that he’s above influencer boxing, and he, like you, classifies KSI still in influencer boxing."

The aforementioned IMPAULSIVE episode, Paul hosted the 5.3 million subscriber-boasting British YouTuber, Joe Weller. It was none other than Weller who teased a match against 'The Maverick' at WrestleMania, saying:

"I love wrestling man, I’d love to be in your [Paul's] position. I’m definitely not as popping as you are right now – there’s Speed, Kai Cenat and you in WWE out of the influencer world. Logan Paul vs. Joe Weller at WrestleMania, it’s happening. I’ll see you in the ring, I’m cashing in the Money in the Bank". [H/T RSN]
