KSI vs Logan Paul is a two-part amateur boxing match between British YouTube celebrity KSI and American YouTuber, Logan Paul. It will be held on August 25, 2018 at Manchester Arena, Manchester, England, and will be streamed on YouTube's pay-per-view platform.[1][2] A rematch has been scheduled to happen in the United States on February 4th 2019.[citation needed]
Background
After KSI's fight with fellow YouTuber Joe Weller on 3 February 2018 at the Copper Box Arena in London, he challenged Logan Paul, Logan's younger brother Jake, or any member of the Paul family to a fight.[3] Jake Paul was the favorite to step in to fight KSI, but Logan stepped in and decided to fight him. The two parties have signed a contract, agreeing to have two fights, one to be held on August 25th 2018 at the Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom, and another to be held on 4 February 2019 in the United States. Originally, Logan and Jake Paul wanted any fight to be held in a neutral venue, preferably Dubai, United Arab Emirates, but Logan had decided to go on with the two-fight plan.[3]
Two press conferences have been held to promote the fight. The first was held on 16 June outside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, and the second held on 18 July at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London.[3]
On the fight's undercard, JMX was expected to fight Romell Henry, but Henry later pulled out due to injury, and was replaced by HalalHam. It was later revealed that JMX will instead be fighting YouTuber and athlete Coach Richard, and that HalalHam will be facing Jrizzy Jeremy.
AnEsonGib is expected to fight TGFBro's Jay Swingler on the event's undercard.
Broadcasting
The fight will be streamed on pay-per-view on YouTube, via a YouTube channel dedicated to the fight.[2] The pay-per-view is set to cost £6 in the United Kingdom, and $8 in the United States.[4] The pay-per-view prices received negative responses from fans, as KSI's past fight with Joe Weller was streamed on YouTube for free. YouTubers True Geordie, Joe Weller & Laurence McKenna are set to commentate on the fight.[5]
