Logan Paul has an "unwavering support" for his brother Jake after watching him navigate a tricky start to his boxing career.
The elder Paul brother wasn't as lucky as his brother when it came to match-ups and, after three outings at amateur, professional and exhibition level, still has yet to pick up a victory. But he has been a keen onlooker for all six of his brother's successes since lacing the gloves up in 2018, which include five professional wins and four knockouts.
Logan's sibling will face a different kind of challenge at Madison Square Garden on 6 August when he faces heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr in a short-notice bout. The younger Paul was supposed to fight Tommy Fury, but the Brit pulled out due to a travel issue and has been replaced by a bigger fighter with a better record.
"I'm not nervous," Logan said of the fight when speaking to FightHype on Tuesday. "I just believe in Jake so much, like, whatever he says he's going to do, he does. So I have an unwavering faith in my brother.
"Whatever he says, I believe and I'm on his team no matter what. So, I definitely think this is his hardest fight for sure. He's navigated his boxing career incredibly intelligently.
"He's picked really specific, strategic opponents who should beat him, every time there's something about his opponent that gives them the edge. But every time he comes out victorious.
"This guy's edge is that he's a real boxer, he's 12-1, he's way more experienced than my brother with all of these amateur fights but Jake is still willing to take on that challenge.
"No one is doing that, bro, no one has ever done that in the history of boxing. No one has ever put as much as my brother is on the line, this early in their career and for that, no matter what anybody says about him, you've got to put respect on his name."

And Logan is predicting yet another stoppage for his brother, who has managed to get rid of his five opponents at professional and amateur level. To do that, Jake must overcome the massive size advantage that Rahman Jr holds, but his brother is confident that he will be able to make sure that happens.
"I think it's going to be a knockout," he predicted. "Just like the rest. I think, historically, everyone that Jake faces ends up the same way which is horizontal, face down on the canvas, I don't think this will be any different."
The elder Paul is now focusing his attentions on the world of professional wrestling, where he will face The Miz at SummerSlam just a week before his brother's bout. He has teased returning to boxing, but recently signed with the WWE for multiple events, so won't be back any time soon.
