Why did Logan Paul start boxing?
Logan Paul recently fought and went the distance versus Floyd Mayweather in their June 6th match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. To answer that, we must look at Logan Paul during his high school years. He was a great wrestler while also being an outstanding linebacker for his high school football team. He wrestled so well that he qualified for the state-level Ohio High School Athletic Association 2013 Division I Wrestling Individual Championships. the odds can be beat pic.twitter.com/XRmNiy6DbG  Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) June 7, 2021  It was his first foray into the world of combat sports.

Popular British YouTuber KSI has called out Jake Paul and Logan Paul for a boxing fight after beating Joe Weller in the first boxing event of its kind. Logan accepted the callout, and KSI's brother Deji was thrown in on the card to fight Jake Paul. Neither Logan nor Jake had any boxing experience prior to the fight, but they started training after the fight was announced.
