YouTube brothers Jake and Logan Paul have announced that the two will finally go head-to-head in a fight broadcast on HBO Max.
Ever since Jake "The Problem Child" Paul beat Mike "Iron Mike" Tyson (on points) during November's big Netflix fight, there have been questions about who the cocksure YouTuber will be fighting next. Jake Paul has had no shortage of offers, with many vowing to settle the score and get 'vengeance' for Tyson.
While many have been hoping he'll finally step into the ring to take on KSI, it looks like 2025 will be another year the pair exchange jabs at each other online instead of with boxing gloves.

Posting on social media on January 29, Jake and Logan Paul announced that they're due to settle their differences with a long-awaited boxing match.
Calling it, "The moment you’ve waited a decade for," the event will supposedly air on Max on March 27. Even though Max is yet to make it official, the account has reposted both Jake and Logan's announcements - suggesting this is the real deal.
Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian confirmed Logan was the top choice to fight his younger brother, as was Tommy Fury ahead of the bout with Tyson in 2024.
Things have finally come around, with the brothers supposedly swinging punches later this year. Despite skeptics, Jake has spoken to the Ring Champs podcast and said he won't be holding back. Discussing the fight, the younger Paul said: "'I’m okay with fighting my brother because I wouldn’t have to be the one that dealt with losing. Seriously.

"Emotionally, if that would scar him, then he shouldn’t do it. But if he’s going to sign up, I don’t have to be the one to lose.''
This isn't the only fight on the cards, with Bidarian saying that Jake Paul wants a rematch against Fury following his February 2023 loss. To date, Jake Paul has fought 12 fights and only lost to Fury. Seven of his fights have been a knockout or TKO, with Nate Robinson, Tyron Woodley, and Andre August being full KOs.
The Paul Brothers are intertwined in their boxing careers, first lacing up their gloves on the same night. On August 25, 2018, Jake beat KSI's brother Deji Olatunji, while Logan drew with KSI.
They've previously teased a match, and when it looked like the Tyson fight could be called off due to Iron Mike suffering from an ulcer, Logan wrote: "I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all." Jake responded: "Mum doesn’t want me to KO you but f*** it."

As for what the audience thinks, the response to the announcement has everyone saying the same thing.
It's clear that most think Jake Paul's impressive record will lead to him trouncing his brother, but given Logan's WWE credentials, we wouldn't write him off yet.

Responding to Jake's announcement post, one person wrote: "Easy dub for Jake, gonna wipe the canvas with Logan."
Others said, "Jake vs Logan is embarrassing lol. I don't like either but Jake is way ahead of Logan," and, "My bet is on you Jake."
Not everyone was convinced it'll be as bloody as some of you want, as someone else concluded: "No chance he actually tries to knock out his brother. Too much respect. He easily could but won’t."
With a big announcement supposedly coming on January 30, there isn't long to wait to see whether this is the real deal or just another Logan Paul prank.
