LOGAN PAUL has teased a return to the boxing ring – and he’s seemingly got an opponent in mind for his next fight.
The YouTube superstar hasn’t fought since his multi-million-pound exhibition with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr last June.
Paul has slowly but surely been ramping up his training with a view to getting back inside the squared circle next year.
And it seems he’s set his sights on a clash with fellow YouTuber turned-boxer Joel Morris.
The elder Paul brother shared a video of himself hitting the heavy bag while watching a clip of Morris fall to the canvas in his fight with fellow social media star Ginty.
He said: “You f***ing klutz. Yeah, right! You ain’t gonna fight me, dummy.”

It didn’t take long for Morris – also known as JMX – to get wind of Paul’s jibe.
He told The Mirror: “I’ve seen Logan Paul talking s*** on Twitter.
“Talking s*** about the one knockdown like he’s never been knocked down – like he’s ever won a fight by the way!
“He talks like a man who knows what it’s like to win a fight, he hasn’t and when he met me in Miami he wasn’t about it.

“He wanted to fight me in MMA, boxing whatever until he met me in Miami and thought, ‘F**k me, you’re bigger than I thought.’
“He didn’t have much to say after that. He went cold and now he’s trying to get loud.
“January, Misfits! If you want to run let’s f***ing run it.
“I’m going to knock you the f**k out!”
