YouTube star Logan Paul has thanked his old rival KSI for "saving his career" during their bitter boxing feud.
The social media duo began talks for a fight at the start of 2018 after KSI, real name JJ Olatunji, called out Paul following his win over Joe Weller that February. Their rivalry immediately got aggressive, with the pair sharing videos and social media posts mocking one another for the best part of two years.
After the feud was left unsettled following a draw in their August 2018 showdown, both men decided to turn professional under Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing banner to make the rematch more exciting. Paul dropped Olatunji during the fight, but was deducted two points and ultimately lost a split decision despite being a betting favourite.
