Acting and Singing Career
Paul’s television and film credits include guest appearances on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Bizaardvark, as well as roles in the films The Thinning (2016) and The Thinning: New World Order (2016). (2018).
He has also expanded his content into other areas; in 2016, he released his debut single “2016.” Paul released his new single, “No Handlebars,” on November 23, 2017. The song was heavily criticised for its perceived sexual objectification of women.
Flobots frontman Jamie Laurie chastised Paul for the song’s “sexist” lyrical content as well as the unauthorised use of the sample, branding him the face of “douchebag entitlement.” Laurie later released a song titled “Handle Your Bars” that mocked Paul’s lyrics.
Paul did not respond to Laurie’s comments or the backlash against “No Handlebars,” but he did remove the song from YouTube.
Boxing Career
Amateur Career
KSI vs Logan Paul
Following his white collar amateur boxing match with Joe Weller on February 3, 2018, British YouTuber KSI challenged Paul to a boxing match. On February 24, 2018, it was announced that Paul and his brother would compete in two white-collar boxing matches against KSI and his younger brother, Deji.
The fight was a majority draw, with two judges scoring it even at 57–57 and a third judge scoring it in favour of KSI at 58–57.
Professional Career
KSI vs Logan Paul II
On September 4, 2019, it was announced that Paul would make his professional boxing debut against KSI in a rematch, which would be broadcast exclusively on DAZN in the United States.
The rematch, which lasted six three-minute rounds, ended in a split decision win for KSI, with two judges scoring the fight 57–54 and 56–55 for KSI, and one judge scoring it 56–55 for Paul.
Mayweather vs Logan Paul
It was announced on December 6, 2020, that Paul would face former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition bout on February 20, 2021. The fight was rescheduled for June 6, 2021 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Mayweather and Paul first met on May 6, 2021, at a press conference at Hard Rock Stadium, where the latter’s brother, Jake Paul, got into an angry brawl with Mayweather after removing Mayweather’s hat from his head.
Despite Paul’s repeated attempts to neutralise Mayweather’s offence, the latter was able to dictate the pace of the fight and land the cleaner, more effective punches. Paul showboated near the end of the eighth and final round when it became clear that he had done enough to avoid being stopped, as most had predicted.
Mayweather’s superior boxing was reflected in the CompuBox punch stats, with Mayweather landing 43 of 107 thrown punches (40.2 percent), compared to Paul’s 28 of 217 thrown punches (12.9 percent ).
