YouTuber Jake Paul has called out his brother Logan Paul for a future boxing match.

The social media personality found yet more success in his professional boxing career after beating Nate Robinson with a second-round knockout on Saturday (28 November).

Following his victory over former NBA star Robinson at Staples Centre in Los Angeles, Paul name-checked a few people whom he'd like to take on in future maches.

One of these was his brother, who is also a YouTube star and also has a boxing career.

“There’s a long list of opponents that I want – Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis," Paul said, adding: "I’m going to knock them both out."

He continued: “There’s my brother [and] KSI on the line, Austin McBroom. I want to be in this sport for a long time. I’m in love with it, so why not?”

Paul was recently mocked after arrogantly stating he paved the way for boxing matches between high-profile social media stars.

He was alerted to the fact that Joe Weller and his YouTube co-star, Theo “Malfoy” Baker had the first amateur boxing match between YouTubers in 2017.

Weller went on to fight KSI, who challenged Paul in 2019. Paul ultimately stepped down to let his brother, Logan, fight KSI instead.

Earlier this year, Logan publicly scolded his brother for being seen among looters during a George Floyd protest in Arizona.

FBI agents later seized multiple firearms while carrying out a raid at Paul’s home after he was charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly by police.
