Logan Paul is backing his brother Jake to leave Hasim Rahman Jr "face down" with yet another massive knockout finish in their fight next month.
The YouTube siblings are two divisive figures in the boxing world and have remained in one another's corner throughout their combined nine bouts at amateur, professional and exhibition level. The elder sibling, Logan, believes he will watch his brother pick up yet another stoppage victory at Madison Square Garden on 6 August.
Jake has, to this point, been the more prolific of the pair in the boxing ring since they made their amateur debuts on the same night back in 2018. Logan turned professional in 2019 for a losing effort against KSI and, two months later, Jake made the switch, stopping AnEsonGib in one round.
Logan has fought just once since then, against Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition last summer, while Jake has competed four times. He brutalised basketball star Nate Robinson before moving on to MMA legends Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, stopping them both last year.
"I think it's going to be a knockout," Logan predicted during an interview with FightHype. "Just like the rest. I think, historically, everyone that Jake faces ends up the same way which is horizontal, face down on the canvas, I don't think this will be any different."
The winning streak that the younger Paul has embarked on will be threatened very seriously by Rahman Jr, who is the first 'legitimate' boxer he will have faced to date. The Baltimore native is a natural heavyweight with a height and reach advantage over his rival, and is 12-1 as a professional.
But it doesn't concern Logan, who added: "I'm not nervous. I just believe in Jake so much, like, whatever he says he's going to do, he does. So I have an unwavering faith in my brother.

"Whatever he says, I believe and I'm on his team no matter what. So, I definitely think this is his hardest fight for sure. He's navigated his boxing career incredibly intelligently.
"He's picked really specific, strategic opponents who should beat him, every time there's something about his opponent that gives them the edge. But every time he comes out victorious.
"This guy's edge is that he's a real boxer, he's 12-1, he's way more experienced than my brother with all of these amateur fights but Jake is still willing to take on that challenge.
"No one is doing that, bro, no one has ever done that in the history of boxing. No one has ever put as much as my brother is on the line, this early in their career and for that, no matter what anybody says about him, you've got to put respect on his name."
