LOGAN PAUL insists he WILL fight in mixed martial arts before he dies.
The YouTuber has taken the boxing world by storm along with his younger brother Jake, so much so he’s currently gearing up for a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
But the 25-year-old – who used to wrestle at Ohio University – also has ambitions of setting foot inside the cage.
When asked if he’d be interested in trying his hand at MMA, Paul told Bellator commentator Mauro Ranallo: “Yeah absolutely.
“I actually think I’d probably be better at MMA because of my wrestling background.”
Unlike his brother Jake, Logan appears to have the utmost respect for mixed martial artists.
He continued: “I will say it is a tough sport, it’s harder than boxing. MMA fighters are legitimate all-around 360-degree fighters.
“I’ve had some knee issues on both knees and it’s rough on the body, but I can’t not do one MMA fight before I die.

“I’m gonna do at least one. And if I win, I’ll probably do at least another.”
Despite having no amateur MMA experience to his name, Paul has ambitions of one day fighting in the UFC.
In January, he said: “He [Jake] pissed off Dana White. Now Dana has grouped us together which sucks.
“I love Dana White, I love the UFC. Now Dana thinks we’re the same person.
“We’re so different. I love the UFC fights. I want to do a UFC fight one day. I’m not saying now, let me get my skills up.

“Dana, take me back. I’m not Jake! Please. Bro, he’s given me tickets to go to UFC fights before. F**! F**k! I love Conor McGregor dude.”
But the chances of him setting foot inside the octagon are slim to none as UFC supremo White has no intention of ever working with either Paul brother.
He said: “Neither one of those guys can fight.
“It’s all a big gimmick. Like I said in a [recent] press conference, there’s a market for that.
“If people are dumb enough to spend their money watching that s***, I don’t know what to tell you.
“Good luck to them. I [couldn’t] care less what that guy [does].
“I get it. He’s trying to make some money and is doing his thing. There are people who want to spend money on that. I’m not that guy.”
