Logan Paul has admitted fellow YouTube star KSI won their rematch fair and square – more than two years later.
The pair hinted at an announcement last week on their social media pages which fans believed may be a trilogy fight after they promoted it as “The Final Chapter”.
However they met up and later confirmed that they were creating an energy drink brand named Prime which disappointed some fans who expected a fighting-related announcement.
Paul used the opportunity to praise KSI for his role in their boxing rematch two years go while finally accepting defeat.
“I love you for real and I don’t feel like fighting again,” Paul said during their Instagram live stream. “That second fight I think you won fair and square.

“I said I think you won so congratulations man, we have been divided in the past but it’s done. The division is over, 2022 is the year of love and we have come together to announce possibly the biggest thing we will ever build.”
Paul and KSI both secured multi-million-pound paydays for their consecutive ring meetings in 2018 and 2019 respectively with the second promoted by Matchroom Boxing.
The opening fight was considered the biggest amateur boxing event ever in the UK netting 1.2 million pay-per-view buys where the pair proceeded to fight to a draw in Manchester.
The war of words continued and a second fight was immediately agreed after the quick-fire success of the opening showdown.
This was streamed live on DAZN and Sky Sports Box Office around the world which also performed phenomenally amongst fans of a new generation.
The second fight was a sanctioned professional bout in which KSI prevailed by a narrow split-decision after Paul was deducted two points for punching his rival after a knockdown.

Ventures have begun between the pair since their historic boxing meetings with Paul travelling to the UK to feature in a video for KSI’s video group Sidemen.
Paul later invited his rival on to his podcast Impaulsive where they discussed their relationship moving forward in detail and the events of their two match-ups.
KSI planned his ring return against Logan’s brother Jake with the pair having gone face-to-face after the rising star’s victory over AnEson Gib.
But he was prevented from entering America before any fight could be made initially due to the coronavirus pandemic which hindered his boxing training.
However he has been said to have been continuing his boxing training with a new coach after his former coach Viddal Riley signed a professional deal with BOXXER.
