Logan Paul claims YouTube rival KSI hits harder than Floyd Mayweather and says it is ‘not even a competition’
LOGAN PAUL claimed KSI hits harder than Floyd Mayweather and the comparison is 'not even a competition'.
The American, 26, first picked up the boxing gloves in 2018 for an exhibition in Manchester with KSI - real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji.
They ended up drawing before turning pro a year later for their rematch, which was won on split-decision by KSI.
Paul then had two years out of the ring before amazingly returning for an exhibition bout with boxing legend Mayweather.
And after it went the full eight round distance, the social media sensation technically avoided defeat.
Following 20 rounds between KSI, 28, and Mayweather, 44, Paul insisted his old YouTube rival punches harder than one of the greatest of all time.
“KSI I’m like, ‘Keep my f***ing face away from those hands'.”

Mayweather was outweighed by TWO STONE and failed to deliver on the knockout he promised.
Paul was evidently emotional watching back the fight for the first time alongside True Geordie - real name Brian Davis.
He said: “It is hard to put in to words.
"I have been through so much s***, to go from one of the most hated people on the planet to the Mayweather fight it was amazing.
“The journey was insane, it's my first time watching it as it is so much to process and download.
"I was proud of the fight, but I had to pat myself on the back and be proud of what happened.
“For me this fight was everything, it has set me up for the rest of my life and this was a huge chapter.”
