    He first fought in February and survived a final round knockdown to beat Paul by split decision.
    British YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI then suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Fury in their October grudge match.
    Internet sensation KSI was fuming with the result and launched an appeal to the Professional Boxing Association.
    But the PBA insisted there are NO grounds to overturn the result of the Misifts melee as they rejected his appeal.

    KSI, 30, now says he is taking time away from the ring after that setback.
    However, his fans are still stinging following the controversial decision – and they are letting Fury have it.
    Fury, whose girlfriend Molly-Mae gave birth to their first child – a baby girl named Bambi – last year, took to social media to share his new-look.
    He posted a gym selfie of his now longer hair style along with his restyled facial her.

    Eddie Hearn maps out blockbuster plan for Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury and become undisputed heavyweight champ

    EDDIE HEARN has mapped out a masterplan for Anthony Joshua to beat Tyson Fury and become undisputed champion in the process. Joshua returns on March 8 against ex-UFC star-turned heavyweight boxer Francis Ngannou.

    Just three weeks earlier, Fury, 35, and Oleksandr Usyk, 36, contest for all four world titles, a first in heavyweight history.
    AJ was due to fight Deontay Wilder, 38, but the American suffered a shock defeat to Joseph Parker, 31
    So in stepped Ngannou, 37, who dropped Fury on his boxing debut in October only to lose a controversial decision.
    Promoter Hearn said on The MMA Hour: “Criticism is out there all the time but he (Joshua) is in a great place, he is really confident.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “I said before the Wallin fight that he is going to beat [Otto] Wallin, beat Wilder and beat Fury.
    “The only thing that’s going to change is Ngannou replaces Wilder. I honestly believe he can beat all of those guys.”
    Joshua, 34, has won three on the spin since suffering consecutive losses to Usyk on points – but new coach Ben Davison wants a trilogy bout.
    And while Hearn believes Fury could beat Usyk, he insisted nothing stands in AJ’s way of becoming undisputed king.

    He said: “Even now with Ben Davison, they like the Usyk fight now. Ben really believes that AJ can beat Usyk.
    “I truly believe AJ will become undisputed heavyweight champion. Only with that last performance do people start thinking.
    “I love Usyk but part of me wants Tyson to win that fight so we can potentially move.”

    It left fans stunned as one said: “Wow… Victory.”
    Another added: “I feel sorry for Ngannou, he will feel the heat.”
    Ngannou, 37, comes into only his second boxing bout having floored Tyson Fury, 35, on his debut in October.

    He was controversially beaten on points, with Fury now fighting Oleksandr Usyk, 36, for the undisputed crown on February 17 in Saudi.
    Joshua was due to meet Deontay Wilder until the American suffered a shock defeat to Joseph Parker.
    So instead he steps in with Ngannou, with the winner in line to challenge either Fury or Usyk for the unified crown.
    Joshua looked back to his best after hammering Otto Wallin, 32, in five rounds and credits new coach Ben Davison for the rejuvenation.

    He said: “The reason I was able to gel with Ben is because he doesn’t try to change your style.
    “He just kind of looks at your attributes and then adds to what you are good at.
    “I got to a stage where I was trying to change my style — a bit of back-foot-boxing, boxing behind the jab, stick-and-move, not being explosive, controlling the pace and stuff like that.
    “But Ben was like, ‘That’s not your body type. You’re a f***ing big unit, you’re explosive, go and f***ing knock people out’.
    “Basically, work to your body type. So, we got along. He gets it.
    “I am a power puncher. I break eye sockets. I broke Wallin’s nose and eye socket, Robert Helenius just got sparked out.
    “I ruined Dillian Whyte’s career with an uppercut, the list goes on. Ngannou has to deal with me and that will make it a good fight.
    “I will have a one-track mind, it will just be bam-bam-bam-bang.
    “A good performance is a boring fight as the better fighter is totally dominant.

    “I don’t want a slugfest, I don’t want to swap punches and think, ‘What the f*** am I supposed to do?’ I don’t want to take ten rounds to land a knockout shot.”

    YouTube boxing BLOCKED from Saudi Arabia in huge blow for Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury

    YOUTUBE boxing is to be BLOCKED from coming to Saudi Arabia. In recent years, mega-money bouts have been prised over to the Middle East, with Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder all involved.

    But no influence has been bigger than His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi.
    He is in control of boxing in the region and has managed to even have feuding promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren work together.
    His Excellency wants everyone in the sport to collaborate – but it will not cross over to the new age of influencer boxing.
    He told DAZN: “Please, we don’t want any YouTuber fight again. I don’t talk about names.

    “I want fighters, I want fighters, this is what I support.”
    It could come as a blow to the likes of KSI, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
    Fury, 24, last year beat both the social media sensations and remains linked with rematches.
    His grudge match with Paul, 27, was even staged in Riyadh and saw him win a split-decision.

    American Paul has since distanced himself from the crossover boxing scene to head into a more traditional route.
    His last fight was against professional boxer Andre August, 35, which he won by first-round knockout.
    Paul returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming and will do so against another boxer.
    KSI, 30, is meanwhile taking time away from the sport following his controversial loss to Fury.
    But he will always be in line for a blockbuster bout with Paul following years of feuding between the pair.
    They were even in talks to fight in Saudi in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic KO’d those plans.

    Rodney Petersen is better known online by his alias Not Logan Paul
    Who is Not Logan Paul?
    Not Logan Paul is a social media personality who found fame due to looking like Logan Paul.
    The star, real name Rodney Petersen, began posting on social media in 2020.
    At first, he shared aspects of his life like his love for music and pictures of his children.
    But it wasn’t long until his followers began to make comparisons between Petersen and influencer and boxer Paul.
    READ MORE ON LOGAN PAUL
    Petersen told Business Insider: “In early 2021, I’d never heard of YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul.
    “But when people started flooding my comments section saying they thought I looked like him, I googled him and discovered he’s a hugely popular influencer with a controversial past.”
    Petersen, who shares four children with his wife, has enjoyed success from the comparisons but has admitted the reception isn’t always positive.
    He explained: “I sometimes receive negative comments from viewers, such as from a person who commented ‘you and your brother are jokes of the world,’ as if I was actually Logan himself, which is so strange.”
    Most read in Boxing
    Is Not Logan Paul on social media?
    Petersen is a big presence online and has many social media followers.
    On Instagram he has 130k followers while on TikTok he has over 215k followers.
    He also has a YouTube channel where he has over 3k subscribers.
    It was the star’s wife who first convinced him to join TikTok back in 2020 but it was only once he began capitalising on being a Logan Paul doppelgänger that he found his follower count rising dramatically.
    In just one year, Petersen went from having 7k followers to 130k after making a number of clips recreating some of Paul’s old videos and doing impressions of him.
    Petersen said in 2022: “I’m happy to run with this Logan Paul doppelgänger bit as long as it keeps bringing me views.
    “In a funny way, I’ve found that it’s allowing more people to find me and get to know who I am.
    “People used to come up to me in the street because they thought I was Logan Paul, but now, they know that I’m his doppelgänger on TikTok, they know my accounts and real name, and they want a picture with the actual me.”
    Petersen has also said that he would eventually like to go back to focusing on his dreams in martial arts and music.
    What is Not Logan Paul’s net worth?
    Petersen’s net worth has been reported to be as much as $6 million, which is over £4.5 million.
    The star has admitted in the past that “looking like Logan Paul is bringing me the extra cash I need.”
    His lookalike Paul, meanwhile, has a reported net worth of $150 million, roughly £118 million.

    As of January 18 2024 he has won one match as a celebrity boxer.
    Petersen made his debut at an Official Celebrity Boxing match in March 2023.
    The star was then confirmed to be taking part in the Misfits Boxing 12 event in January 2024.
    Petersen’s bout against Tristan Hamm was scheduled for Saturday, January 20th.
    The event, which also signed Chase DeMoor and Ed Matthews for the line-up, will be hosted in Leeds’ First Direct Arena with the capacity being approximately 13,000.
    Ahead of the match against Hamm, Petersen shared his excitement on social media.
