    Logan Paul feared brother Jake would kill himself after life spiralled out of control… before boxing saved him

    LOGAN PAUL feared his brother Jake would kill himself after his life spiralled out of control – before boxing saved him.The American was at the height of his YouTube career when he began to get into trouble with the law.

    Jake Paul’s life spiralled out of control at the height of his YouTube career
    He was slammed by neighbours for throwing wild parties and even had his $10million Los Angeles mansion raided by FBI where guns were confiscated.
    It led to sponsorships and opportunities being cut, with the social media personality on the brink of losing it all.
    In a new episode of the Netflix documentary series Untold about Jake, dad Greg said: “Jake was so close to being nothing, gone, done. Literally two months from being flat broke.”
    Jake, 26, admitted: “It’s not easy to be hate by the whole entire world. It creates a very dark mental place.”

    Logan, 28, was also no stranger to controversy and online hate – but he opened up about fearing the worst for his younger brother.
    He said: “Both my dad and I felt worried for my brother’s life. Jake’s always been pretty emotionally unpredictable and volatile.
    “There was a point where we were both legitimately concerned that Jake was going to kill himself.
    “He needed purpose and I didn’t know what he was going to do. What’s he good at?”
    Most read in Boxing
    Logan would help Jake find the purpose he so desperately craved.
    In 2018, they would fight on the same night against British rivals KSI and brother Deji.
    Logan drew with KSI but Jake would beat Deji in an event few knew would change the landscape of boxing.
    Jake would go on to set his sights on a career in boxing, which in turn finally got him back on the right track.

    Since his professional debut in 2020, the prankster-turned-prizefighter has fought seven times.
    He has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva on the way.
    But in February, Jake was beaten for the first time, losing a split-decision to boxing rival Tommy Fury, 24.
    Now, he returns over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in a bout he insists is the start of his comeback.

    Jake said: “I’m back, baby. The comeback starts now, we’ve got a new team, new mindset, new training schedule.
    “And guess what? I’m knocking this motherf***er out.”

    I’ve received WhatsApp messages from Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury because of what I said about them – the truth hurts

    And he claims Joshua – who he’s been in a public war of words with over the last few months – has taken umbrage to his comments to the point where he’s angrily messaged him.
    He told The Daily Star: “I have no personal animosity with him, but when I speak on my channel – Froch on Fighting, it’s the best YouTube channel out there – I just try to be honest.
    “I say what the fans are thinking and sometimes it hurts people. They know the truth hurts.”
    Froch claims Joshua quickly deletes his WhatsApp tirades before he gets the chance to read them.

    The 46-year-old added: “I have had three or four messages from AJ.
    “But he has deleted them before I could see them on WhatsApp. That’s a true story.”
    WBC heavyweight champion Fury has also taken exception to Froch’s recent comments about his upcoming fight with MMA star Francis Ngannou.
    The Cobra revealed: “Tyson Fury messaged me the other day, just to justify the Ngannou fight, which is just about the money, but we know that anyway.

    “I have had a couple of messages but it’s all friendly, no nasty stuff.
    “The only person who was ever nasty was George Groves.”
    Froch’s recent gripe with Joshua stems from the former two-time unified heavyweight champion’s comments about his separation from long-time trainer Robert McCracken.
    Froch said: “He recently parted company with Rob McCracken which I have got no problem with at all.
    “But when he starts saying things like he has wasted his best years with Rob McCracken and he’s got to make up for lost time.

    “I think, ‘Come on, he took you to Olympic gold, he took you to multiple world titles which you defended.
    “‘You didn’t win it all; you lost to Ruiz and lost the rematch to Usyk with your new coach.
    “Have some respect.'”

    Joshua, 33, will be back in action a week on Saturday in a domestic dust-up with long-time rival Dillian Whyte.
    Fury’s controversial crossover clash with Ngannou, meanwhile, will take place in Saudi Arabia on October 28. More
