KSI vs Logan Paul: Anthony Joshua predicts who will win rematch

Anthony Joshua believes that KSI will beat Logan Paul in their highly anticipated rematch.

The pair meet on 9 November at the Staples Centre after their controversial majority draw in August last year, and much of the boxing world has been talking about the event.

Joshua is currently in camp for a rematch of his own as he looks to claim back the heavyweight titles that he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr back in June.

Opinions about the two YouTubers turning professional have caused plenty of discussion in the boxing world, with some claiming it is good for the sport and some less positive.

The former unified heavyweight champion of the world believes it to be ‘sick’.

“I think it’s sick.

“He could have promoted it from a point of view that’s non-boxing, but getting their licenses, no head guards, rounds of boxing.

“What people have to realise is, you have to put all eyes on boxing for us all to thrive.

“So KSI and Logan Paul have a bigger following than me and most of the heavyweights combined.”

And when asked his thoughts on who will win on 9 November, AJ had to think long and hard about it. “That’s a tough one,” Joshua said.

“I’m going KSI. He’s done it before, but Logan Paul is a big unit.

“He’s done it before, he’s been in there and that experience is good.”
