Logan Paul was confronted on an Australian radio show about not yet agreeing to fight Paddy Pimblett after multiple callouts on both sides.
The UFC lightweight has taken issue with both Logan and his brother Jake Paul in recent times, but it appears that the older sibling is actually keen to make a fight happen in the octagon. He has said that if the 155lb fighter would move up two weight divisions and pack on 30lb that he would gladly step into the cage for a massive bout in his MMA debut.
However, one listener to the Kyle and Jackie O show on KIIS 1065 was unconvinced, and when the phone lines were open they aggressively pushed the YouTuber on why he hasn't fought Pimblett yet. There is an ongoing feud between the pair, with them both having rival beverage companies.
"I just want to know when are you going to actually fight Paddy 'The Baddy'?" The caller asked. "Because you've been talking about it for a long time and he's called you out and you still have done nothing about it." Host Kyle Sandilands then joked that she was "s*** stirring," while Jackie O added that she had an attitude.
"Listen, I respect you and and I respect the question," Paul responded. "I think it's actually the opposite, I think Paddy's done nothing about it. I've been trying to fight him for a while, the issue is that he's locked up in his UFC contract so to get him to come out of that and go box me would be an issue."
But Paul then reiterated his offer to come to the octagon for such a fight, adding: "I would happily go to the UFC but we're in different weight classes. If he's willing to come up to my weight class in the UFC I'd be more than happy to beat the s*** out of Paddy 'The Baddy'."

And the YouTube star couldn't resist one last dig at the Scouse fighter, quickly responding "yes that's it," when Sandilands asked if his nickname was 'Paddy The Fatty'. "His name is Paddy The Fatty, but when he's training he's Paddy The Baddy" Paul conceded
Paul recently returned from a nasty knee injury to make his comeback in professional wrestling at the WWE's Royal Rumble event, and is likely to fight again later this year. He had been due to face Dillon Danis in January, but that bout fell through when he pulled out after suffering a severe injury during a WWE bout in Saudi Arabia.
He has never won a boxing match, having tried twice against his now-business partner KSI and drawing before losing their rematch by split decision. He then faced the legendary Floyd Mayweather in the summer of 2021, and impressively survived the distance but no winner was announced.
