    Logan Paul admits rivalry with KSI is fake as Brit YouTube star rules out trilogy bout

    by

    LOGAN PAUL admitted his rivalry with KSI is fake and “all for show” – then the Brit ruled out a trilogy fight.
    The two YouTubers slugged it out twice in the ring after months of trash talking.

    The first bout in Manchester in August 2018 ended in a majority draw after six entertaining rounds.
    And KSI defeated the American at Staples Center in Los Angeles this time last year.
    Watford-born KSI, 26, was handed the victory after a split decision – helped in part by a two-point deduction for his opponent – and fell to the canvas in tears, clearly delighted to bag the bragging rights between the pair.
    Paul will take on Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in February.

    And despite the apparent bitterness and hatred with KSI, Paul admitted inside the ring it was all a facade.
    The American said after his loss: “Fair play to JJ – you are one of the toughest people I know, you deserve everything you have.
    “I wish you the best. You had my respect before the fight, you are one of the toughest people I know.
    “I don’t like talking trash, it was all for show, it was all to sell the fight. I have nothing but respect.

    “I was more calm this year and spent more time practising boxing, we worked on my conditioning, that was why I was better than the first fight.
    “I think the two-point deduction was harsh, I am not happy with the commission about that, I think if you do the math that cost me the fight.”
    After a moment of hesitation, KSI spoke kindly of his opponent.
    He said: “It takes a big man to get in the ring, you’re a big man.
    “You made me work today and last year. Thank you for a good fight.”

    He added: “It was cool to shake his hand but I don’t know if he means it. It looked good on camera.
    “I was not up to par and was operating at about 60 per cent.
    “It does not feel like a loss, I know what that feels like.
    “Something tells me I am going to be alright, in the face of adversity rises a titan.
    “I don’t want to be the person who wins all the time, it is cooler to fall short or fail and then rise up.”

      Logan Paul’s amazing homes includes drug guru Timothy Leary’s desert ranch and a stunning £5m LA mansion

      by

      LOGAN PAUL is king of the YouTubers when it comes to his property portfolio.
      The internet personality, who is set to fight Floyd Mayweather on February 20, has earned millions from posting content on his channel that has 26 million subscribers.

      That’s enabled Paul, 24, to buy houses you and I could only dream of.
      The Maverick loves living in the Valley in Los Angeles, and has a stunning mansion in Encino.
      And most recently, he added a desert ranch formally owned by LSD-advocate Timothy Leary for around £800,000.
      Take a peek inside his digs below.

      HIS FIRST HOME
      Sure, he rented an apartment in Hollywood.
      But in 2017 Logan dropped £4.8m on a 9,000 square foot home in the heart of Encino – for his first home.
      The gated estate was built in the 1970s and sits within a sought-after neighbourhood in the San Fernando Valley region of LA.

      Looking like a modern farmhouse, it has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, wine cellars, four fireplaces, a movie theatre room, and a kitchen with a large island.

      It was believed to have been previously owned by Whose Line Is It Anyway? comedian Ryan Stiles.
      It’s often nicknamed the Maverick House, which is the name of his merchandise brand – that also features a clothing label.
      Sidenote, Maverick is also the name of his pet parrot.
      THE NEW ABODE
      Given that Paul is a man who clearly likes to party, his new house is the perfect setting for that kind of lifestyle.
      Recently he splashed around £800,000 on a desert ranch that used to be owned by drugs guru Timothy Leary in the 1960s.
      Leary lived in the home with around 30 ‘Hippie Mafia’ pals and it’s where it’s believed he manufactured LSD.
      Surrounded by the San Jacinto Mountains in California, the property is spread across 80 acres.
      ‘The Brotherhood of Eternal Love’, as they were known, lived in the outhouses, which includes a guesthouse and bunkhouse, while Leary and his wife stayed in the ranch house.

      The main home has two bedrooms, an expansive living room, as well as a freestanding fireplace.
      In the master bedroom, you will find wood beams, and another custom fireplace
      The property also features a barn, two-car garage and two solar panel systems for power.

      Water comes naturally through a pair of springs that feed a 70,000-gallon water tank.
      And there’s a 500-square-foot studio that’s fitted with angled skylights and is surrounded by walls of glass that’ll be perfect for Paul to record videos for his YouTube channel in.
      One question, Logan; when can we come round?

      YOUTUBE sensation KSI continues to grow on and away from the video-sharing site.

      Who is KSI and what is his real name?

      KSI was born June 19, 1993, and is an English YouTube personality, rapper, comedian and actor.
      The 27-year-old’s real name is Olajide William “JJ” Olatunji.
      He attended the independent Berkhamsted School alongside future Sideman member and YouTube collaborator Simon Minter, better known as Miniminter.
      KSI – which stands for knowledge, strength, integrity – first arrived on the YouTube scene in 2009, originally posting videos about video games.

      How did KSI become famous?
      Since 2009, KSI’s channel has reached over five billion video views with 21.9million subscribers. He also earned an NME Award for Vlogger of the Year in 2016.
      In addition to his YouTube career, the 27-year-old has released four EPs as a rapper, two of which have topped the UK R&B Albums Chart.
      In 2015, he was ranked as the UK’s most influential YouTube creator, with his brother Deji, otherwise known by his handle Comedy Shorts Gamer, ranking second.
      In 2016, he made his feature film debut in the comedy Laid in America alongside fellow YouTube star Casper Lee.

      He was also a founding member of the online group The Sidemen, which are the product of seven British YouTubers. In 2018, they launched their own premium web TV series.
      However, he was the centre of controversy in 2012 after a Eurogamer event due to supposed sexual harassment of attendees.
      Microsoft cut ties with him and he was banned for life from the expo.
      He addressed the controversy in his 2015 autobiography, entitled KSI: I Am A B*****d.
      Since his two boxing fights against Logan Paul, KSI has focused more on his musical career, including releasing Really Love with Craig David and Digital Farm Animals in October 2020.
      What happened during his boxing match against Logan Paul?
      In the first fight between the pair, the judges announced a majority draw for their boxing match on August 25, 2018.
      The judges scored it: 57-58 in favour of KSI, 57-57, 57-57.
      That set the stage for a rematch, this time as an official pro fight with no headguards, 10oz gloves and six three-minute rounds.
      After plenty of talk about knockouts from both camps, it was left to the judges at the Staples Center on November 9, 2019.
      And it was the Brit who came out on top, winning by a split decision with his fellow YouTuber Logan Paul docked two points for hitting KSI while he was on the canvas.

      He has amassed over five billion views on YouTube.
