Logan Paul has offered to fight Tommy Fury despite his business partner KSI being deep in talks to face the Love Island star.
YouTube boxer KSI faced off with Fury after his fight against Joe Fournier in May and the pair are expected to clash in Manchester later this year. KSI made a 180lb demand for the fight whilst Fury countered with 185lb, but the YouTuber's promoter Kalle Sauerland has now insisted a weight has been agreed on.
Paul, who co-owns the immensely popular Prime Energy drink with former opponent KSI, admitted to being confused by the fight talks. "I don't even know if I'm a real fighter," Paul said on his Impaulsive podcast. "Is KSI fighting Tommy Fury, is KSI fighting Jake? Is Tommy Fury fighting me? I'll go down to 185lb no problem, but I don't know what's going on here."

Paul's last fight took place over two years ago as he went eight rounds with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in an un-scored exhibition fight. It was a huge success commercially, selling over one-million pay-per-view buys despite the fight going on neither of their records.
The YouTuber's boxing career looked bleak after he suffered a "career-ending" injury later that year, breaking his hand after hitting a punching machine. Paul has been linked with fights against the likes of Brazilian singer Whindersson, but has snubbed a ring return for a career in professional wrestling as he continues to shine in the WWE.
Although Paul is unlikely to step foot in the ring anytime soon, he could make his UFC debut if a mega-fight between tech bosses Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg comes to fruition. Prime Energy is the official drinks sponsor of the UFC and Paul offered to fight Paddy Pimblett for free if a fight between Musk and Zuckerberg is made.
"If Elon Musk and [Mark] Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard. I’ll fight for free, for charity. Give me Paddy Pimblett,” Paul said. “Give me Paddy the Baddy. In the offseason, that boy looks like a blimp and he’ll come up to my weight class and I’ll wallop him. He’s too small when he cuts weight. When he doesn’t cut weight he’s a f***ing horseshoe.”
