Logan Paul wants to fight Deji on undercard of brother Jake's fight with KSI

Logan Paul would be willing to step in the ring with Deji as the co-feature to his brother Jake's potential fight with KSI.

Paul has launched a career in the boxing ring which has seen him take on YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - twice and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. The YouTube star has since signed a contract with the WWE which has seen him switch focus on his training, but he is still planning to make a return to the squared circle next year.

A whole host of fighters have been linked with a fight against Paul including controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate and MMA star Dillon Danis. However the 27-year-old has now opened up to a possible sibling double showdown on the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast.

He was asked by his manager Jeffrey Levin: “If he wins, do you fight Deji on the undercard of Jake Paul vs KSI?” Logan quickly replied “Absolutely” while nodding. Paul has become friends with Deji via his new working relationship with business partner KSI, who has been long-term rivals with his brother Jake.

Paul has fought KSI and drawn in their first amateur fight before losing via narrow split decision in their second clash, while his brother Jake defeated Deji in his first professional outing. The YouTube brother pairings could meet in opposite ways round all on one card, with KSI planning to settle his rivalry with Jake next year.

KSI has already made the offer to his YouTube rival during a social media exchange this year, tweeting: "I'm going to send you a contract. We fight next year. Wembley Stadium. Winner of the fight takes all. 100 per cent of the purse will be on the line. Put your money where your mouth is and let’s finally end this. Will you accept Jake Paul?"

Jake quickly replied: "Good morning guy 'fighting' rapper with t-shirt on. Your hometown and winner takes all. 1000 per cent I accept, but one condition… you have to reply and admit that as of TODAY when it comes to boxing, I am better." KSI then concluded: As of today in boxing you're better. Let's run it b****."

Deji will f irst touch gloves with Mayweather at the Coca-Cola Aren a in Dubai on November 13, with Paul keeping a close eye on events having himself survived eight-rounds with the 50-0 former champion last June. And Paul has made a bold prediction that the Briton will become the first man to stop 'Money' inside the distance.

"I've got Deji in three, Deji's going to KO Mayweather for sure," Paul continued. "I will say something, Floyd is very wishy-washy as you know, and when I was hearing rumblings about this fight, I thought there's no way in hell this is gonna happen."
