Logan Paul sends message to Floyd Mayweather by sharing video of brother Jake’s brutal KO of Ben Askren
LOGAN PAUL sent a message to Floyd Mayweather by sharing a video of his brother Jake’s brutal KO of Ben Askren.
YouTuber Jake stopped the retired UFC welterweight with a one-two combination in round one of their Triller pay-per-view headliner.
He was watched ringside by big brother Logan, who was due to face Mayweather in an exhibition bout in February.
It has since been rescheduled to allow fans to attend but no official date or venue has been announced.
Logan, 26, attempted to strike fear into all-time great Mayweather, 44, as she shared a video of Jake’s highlight-reel KO.
He captioned the post: “@floydmayweather you see this.”
Jake, 24, moved to 3-0 in his professional boxing career, all by KO and celebrated with rapper Snoop Dogg, who also commentated.
He said: “Just a couple of years ago, my teachers were making fun of me in class, telling me I can’t do nothing, telling me I wasn’t smart.
“My schoolmates making fun of me. I used to landscape. I just had a dream and I chased it and I worked hard.
“To think that I’m standing here next to these legends, these legends right here, it’s unbelievable.”

Paul, 24, dedicated his win to his bodyguard Shamir ‘Shadow’ Bolivar, who sadly passed away earlier this month.
He remarked: “This is for Shadow, my security guard, who passed away ten days ago.
“He told me I would knock him out in the first round. He said he had a vision, a dream.
“This has been the hardest ten days of my life. I had to hold it together to keep it going. And I’m just honoured to be here.”
