Notorious YouTuber Logan Paul has used social media to launch his career in a variety of different directions, but he has also used those same social media channels to kick off a number of controversies. Now, the YouTuber has shared a new video challenging two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to a boxing match.
The grudge between Logan Paul and Tyson Fury has its roots in their younger brothers, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, who are scheduled to fight on December 18. The Paul brothers are YouTube sensations who have recently branched out into boxing, while the Fury brothers are both professional boxers following in their father's footsteps.
While the fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury is already set up to be a large spectacle, it may not be the only battle between the brothers planned in the near future. Logan Paul recently took to Instagram to challenge Tyson Fury, who is the current WBC heavyweight champion, to a fight of their own. In the video, Logan Paul declares that he's going to take Tyson Fury down even if he needs a tractor to do it before reiterating that Tyson Fury will fall before him.
Despite the fervor that Logan Paul speaks with in the video, he has only fought in one professional boxing match with British YouTuber and rapper KSI, which he lost. However, Logan Paul has been active on WWE and participated in a boxing exhibition match with Floyd Mayweather, which he also lost, as well as previously fighting KSI in an amateur white-collar boxing match which resulted in a majority draw. This means that the full breadth of his experience is a bit wider than it initially appears, but Logan Paul is still quite a lot less practiced than Tyson Fury. While Logan Paul has been known to get himself into hot water for views in the past, it's unclear if he plans to follow through on his challenge to Tyson Fury.
As of writing, Tyson Fury has yet to respond to Logan Paul's provocations, perhaps because he is focusing on the upcoming fight between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul. Jake Paul also has a history with boxing and his career progression from influencer to professional boxer appears to reflect Tommy Fury's progression from professional boxer to reality TV star. Tyson Fury has taken charge of training his younger brother to fight Jake Paul and appears to be quite confident in Tommy Fury's chances for victory against the YouTube star.
