Logan Paul has explained why a grudge fight between brother Jake and KSI is a "lose-lose" situation for him.
Bitter rivals Jake and KSI have exchanged vicious barbs for many years and are expected to fight at the end of 2023 if the former can get past Love Island star Tommy Fury this Sunday in Saudi Arabia. Logan previously competed against KSI twice in the ring but the pair are now business partners who own the immensely popular Prime energy drink.
A fight between Jake and KSI leaves Logan in a tough situation given his individual relationships with the pair, but he admitted that he would side with his brother for the grudge fight. "I think it's a lose-lose [situation], obviously I'll be happy for whoever wins," Logan said on his Impaulsive podcast.
"I kind of just have to wash my hands and be like, 'I love you both'. It's my blood, so I want Jake to win. I know hard this guy [KSI] and Jake works, it's a s*** situation to be and it sucks that these guys have chosen to f***ing hate each other, but I'm going to be supporting my brother."
KSI took three years away from the ring following his two-fight series with Logan, as the pair battled to a draw in their 2017 white-collar fight before the Brit won their professional rematch the following year. 'The Nightmare' is excited by the magnitude of a fight against Jake and admitted that it's the "end goal" of his boxing career.

"I guess the end goal is fighting Jake Paul, seeing who the ultimate best in influencer boxing is. It excites me. I love when there's a lot of pressure because pressure makes diamonds," KSI said. "I've said this several times. I'm a risk-taker, I love taking risks. I feel like life would be so boring if we just stayed in this little zone where we are so comfortable all of the time because then you'll never get anyway. You'll never know where you could have gone in years to come."
Jake looks to extend his unbeaten professional record to seven fights against Fury in Riyadh, whilst KSI has not fought professionally since beating Logan in 2018. The Brit returned to the ring last August to beat rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Pineda in a farcical 'two fights in one night' event, both of which were sanctioned as exhibition fights. KSI knocked out fellow content creator FaZe Temperr in London last month and is targeting another fight in May.
