Logan Paul tells brother Jake to fight YouTuber who won by 29-second KO

Logan Paul believes his brother Jake should fight TikTok star Salt Papi who won his fight in just 29 seconds last night.

Paul was ringside at London's O2 arena supporting friend and business partner KSI who made a successful ring return by beating rapper Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda. Paul witnessed TikTok star Salt Papi - real name Busta Breezie - knock out his opponent Andy Warski in just 29 seconds with an electric display in front of a raucous crowd.

Salt Papi put on a show for the crowd, choosing his shots carefully to deliver a highlight-reel KO before continuing to entertain with his dance moves and comical celebrations. YouTuber Paul was extremely impressed with and tweeted: "Salt Papi vs. Jake Paul."

Paul was not the only one who was impressed with Salt Papi's display with middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr also saluting the Filipino's KO win. "The guy went to sleep, incredible," he said. "If you look at him, he looks like he works a nine-to-five at a cheese factory, so to see him come out there, moonwalk, dance, lick his lips and then knock a guy out, that's box office right there."

Paul was set to face long-term rival Tommy Fury earlier this month with the pair having signed on the dotted line for a meeting at Madison Square Garden before the Briton was prevented from entering the US. The 25-year-old then replaced him with Hasim Rahman Jr but elected to cancel the clash after his rival looked set to miss their catchweight.

Paul has since confirmed he has now inked another agreement to make his return this October, with his rival expected to be an undefeated professional boxer. Prior to the agreement, Paul had offered to step in on short-notice to become Olatunji's opponent but his rival rejected the offer.

The pair have now agreed to a winner-takes-all fight next year with KSI making the offer on social media, 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?"

Paul later 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."
