Logan Paul
Logan Paul is a few days away from facing the best boxer of our era, his bout against Floyd Mayweather is going to be an exhibition bout, but knockdowns are still allowed so fans are really excited for this one.
Beyond the financial incentive many fans wondered why Logan choose to train in boxing, the 26-year-old Ohio Native would have been better suited at MMA, because he has an impressive wrestling background, he was once a fifth-place finisher in a state wrestling tournament in Ohio which is considered to be one of the top states for wrestling in the U.S, so why did he choose boxing?
Logan claimed that he will eventually compete in an MMA match at some point in his life, but now it looks like he is going to stick with just boxing, when asked about the reason, he said, “I didn’t choose boxing, boxing chose me. Seriously, I got challenged to box. I answered that challenge and then kind of fell perfectly into the sport. Truthfully, boxing’s a bit easier on the body than MMA. MMA’s f*cking hard.”
He continued, “I got bad knees. I’m old now. I’m aging. My upper body’s strong. My upper body always has been strong. I got dense-ass bones. I’m in like the top half-percentile in bone density. My strength is all here. MMA is tough. The lower body knows.”
“This is what I signed up for. This is what I wanted,” Logan Paul claimed that he always wanted to become a professional fighter
Mayweather is 50-0 in his career and has faced the absolute legends of the sport, so it will be a mammoth task for Logan to provide a tough challenge for Floyd, when asked about his strategy for the fight, he said.
“Fight my heart out. Fight my f*cking heart out,” “Fight my heart out. That’s the beautiful thing about this sport. Experience, it’s fantastic. In almost any industry, experience is going to trump everything else. But at the end of the day, this is a fight and anything can happen.”
“I often have to ask myself ‘am I affected by this?’” Paul said. “You look at this crowd, you see all these people, the hot lights, the pressure, you want to do well, your friends and your family’s watching and I always want to be real with myself. Am I affected by this? But I love this. I love this. This is me in my element. This is what I came out to Hollywood to do when I started making videos.”
“When I started making f*cking videos on YouTube, that was the cusp, the precipice for all this. This is it. This is endgame. This is what I signed up for. This is what I wanted. This is me in my element. I love this sh*t. All of it’s exciting for me.”
“I try not to let it consume me but it’s exciting,” Paul said. “But going in there to do a job, to get a job done. It’s business. Another day at the office. Literally, I’m going to walk in the office, chill, the bell’s going to ring and I’m going to go ‘this is crazy’ and then f*cking fight my heart out. It’s another day.”
