Jake Paul opens up about KSI and Logan Paul fighting on same card: 'Definitely the real main event'

CLEVELAND, OHIO: Jake Paul thinks Logan Paul should fight in the last match on the fight card as he and KSI will be appearing on the same fight event once more.

The two former rivals will be seen together in the same fight event for the first time since their 2019 rematch, according to KSI. The event's name, The PRIME Card, alludes to KSI and Logan Paul's collaborative sports beverage, PRIME.

‘Last fight right? Has to be’

The event was advertised as having two primary activities based on the poster KSI tweeted as it says double main event. Although the statement did not specify who each fighter's opponent would be, it did commit to a date and location: October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester. “The PRIME card is here! We will both fight on the same night for the first time since our rematch in 2019, live on DAZN PPV. Opponents will be announced soon. October 14 | AO Arena, Manchester,” KSI tweeted.

In response to the news, Jake Paul questioned whether his brother's fight, which was advertised as the event's marquee contest, would be the final one on the schedule. “Logan Paul is definitely the real main event / last fight right? Has to be,” Jake tweeted from the Twitter handle of his boxing promotions company named Most Valuable Promotions or MVP. However, it is unclear whether KSI's Misfits Boxing, a promotion he formed, will allow anybody else to be the last match on their show.

‘Jake is a lot bigger than Nate’

On August 5, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz are scheduled to square off in a boxing bout. Paul will fight for the seventh time, and it will be his first fight since his lone professional defeat to Tommy Fury earlier this year. In the meanwhile, Diaz, who left the UFC last year in search of more lucrative opportunities, will make his boxing debut.

In his prediction for the fight, Dustin Poirier preferred Jake Paul against Nate Diaz. He discussed the distinctions between MMA and boxing as well as Paul's capacity to surround himself with the greatest resources and instruction.

"Nate does have good boxing, but it's unorthodox and it works well for MMA, small gloves, potty-pat punches and that range. But with boxing gloves... The timing is different. The range is a little bit different," said Poirier about the former UFC champ. He added, "Jake is a big, athletic, young kid. If I had to put money on it, I would put it on Jake. I've been around both guys. Jake is a lot bigger than Nate, a lot more explosive, has the money and the amenities to put the best people around him and really lock himself away and work on the art." He concluded, "He hasn't been doing it that long, but all it takes is one punch from a guy that size."
