KSI’s rematch against Logan Paul to be announced this week with Eddie Hearn set to promote YouTube battle

THE REMATCH between KSI and Logan Paul will be announced this week with Eddie Hearn set to promote the YouTube battle.

The internet superstars boxed to a draw in an exhibition bout last year with a second fight included in their initial contract.

But in an astonishing development the rivals are set to turn professional for the rematch, with Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn promoting the bout.

Asked by iFL TV about his involvement in the lucrative YouTube clash, Anthony Joshua’s promoter said: "We'll announce this week, there's a lot happening, there's some f***ing monster moves.

"Why would you ignore a market that's going to sell out the Staples Center?

"That's just done 1.4million (PPV) buys, that's just sold out the MEN Arena?

"There's a few interesting changes though."

The first fight sold 1.4m PPV’s on YouTube as they boxed over six-three minute rounds with the rivals' brothers also fighting.

KSI’s brother “Deji” - real name Oladeji Daniel Olatunji - was beaten in four rounds by Jake Paul.

Last February KSI - real name Olajide William Olatunji - beat domestic internet rival Joe Weller in three rounds at the Copper Box Arena.
