Logan Paul and KSI are two well-known YouTubers, with over 20 million subscribers each. Their first fight (KSI vs. Logan Paul) took place in August of 2018 after a falling out online but ended in a draw. However, given that the first fight generated over $11 million, I would say Logan and KSI both left the fight as winners. The draw left viewers wanting more, fans of Logan Paul and KSI wondered if there would ever be a true champion. Since the fight in August of 2018, rumors have circulated about a rematch. Just months ago it was announced that there would be a rematch on November 9 in LA, and it was estimated that round two would bring in a whopping $20 million. Since announcing the second fight, KSI and Logan have released many diss tracks to hype up the fights…KSI’s track even goes as far as to mention the controversial scandal Logan Paul landed himself in upon filming in the Japanese Suicide forest years back. In this post, we will share everything we know about what went down on November 9.

Where It All Began
After beating Joe Weller in a boxing match, KSI announced, “If any YouTuber wants it, you can come get it. Jake Paul, Logan Paul, I don’t care.” The video went viral! In response to the stab at the Paul brothers, Logan tweeted: “Who is PSI and why are people tweeting me about him?” This tweet started it all….Logan and KSI had a full-on twitter battle, which resulted in Logan Paul making a YouTube video for clickbait called “The Pauls Respond to the CSI Fight.” In this video Logan pokes fun at KSI, calling him “Dad” and volunteering his dad to fight him because it would be a fair fight in Logan’s eyes. It wasn’t long after this internet feud that the day and time of the first fight was announced, and the rest is history!
KSI vs. Logan Paul: The First Fight
The terms for the first fight were both funny and humiliating. Each contestant had to agree to contribute $25,000, fight a boxing match, host the fight in Los Angeles (giving Logan a “home field” advantage), wear the winner’s merch in their YouTube videos, and say the winner is their “Daddy” if they lost. These terms are simply too appropriate for a fight between two internet personalities!
KSI vs. Logan Paul: The Rematch
The second fight (KSI vs. Logan Paul) took place on November 9 in LA at the Staples Center and began at 8 p.m. PST. The main event lasted over 6 rounds at 3 minutes each. You can watch recaps of the fight’s best moments on YouTube by searching “Logan Paul KSI fight.”
The Results
The fight was a wild and messy one. KSI started strong, knocking Logan Paul off his feet in which the ref deemed a “slip.” From there, things took a turn, as Logan felled KSI with a sole good shot of the night, only to be incorrectly penalized for a hold and hit. That penalty alone cost him the fight. Of the judges, only one scored in favor of Logan. The other two gave it to KSI, deeming KSI the winner of fight No. 2! This fight was laughable, entertaining, and everything we had hoped for and more. Logan is now appealing the decision.
