Jake Paul and Logan Paul announce boxing showdown, is it real?
Jake Paul has found his next boxing opponent — don't tell his mom or dad.
The 28-year-old YouTuber turned fighter is stepping into the ring against older brother Logan Paul, 29, according to a post on X/Twitter from Jake Paul.
Details on the bout are scarce at the moment. It's scheduled for March 27 with streaming on Max. Beyond that? There's not much info. Jake Paul is coming off a victory against Mike Tyson that had people questioning whether or not the whole bout was rigged, so there will certainly be plenty of righteous eye-rolling over Jake's latest choice for an opponent.
We also don't know who will sanction this fight or if regulated sportsbooks will take any action on it, as some declined to take wagers on the Paul-Tyson fight.
But Jake tends to choose opponents who will help maximize the amount of eyeballs on his fights more so than boxers who can actually challenge him. His brother absolutely fits that mold.
It won't be lost on anyone tuning in that Logan has spent his time recently as pro wrestler vying for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Could fighting his brother in a high-profile bout bring him closer to that dream? Will the two be pulling their punches against each other?

Will this fight actually happen (March 27 is also the start of the Sweet 16 in the NCAA men's tournament, and Max's parent company Warner Bros. Discovery holds broadcasting rights)?
All we can say for certain is this probably isn't the first time the brothers have punched each other in the face and it almost certainly won't be the last time — if the fight happens.
