Logan Paul hilariously tells off fans accusing him of faking Ivan Drago knockout Logan Paul, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul had an impromptu boxing session with an Ivan Drago impersonator on May 28, ultimately knocking the actor out \u2013 but some fans aren\u2019t convinced that the KO was for real. Despite knocking the impersonator out cold and assuring viewers that the incident was not staged, fans and critics alike accused Paul of faking the fight, with some speculating that he had even paid the fake Drago off. \u201cSo how much are you paying this actor, Logan?\u201d one critic wrote. \u201cImagine after all this fake stuff that Logan pulls, he loses to KSI,\u201d another commented. This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Paul has been accused of faking a knockout, either; the YouTuber was put on blast after fans accused him of staging his viral video slapping a man unconscious in preparation for his trip to the \u2018Battle on the Volga.\u2019 While Logan didn\u2019t make such a pointed statement in this instance, he made appearances on two separate podcasts following the video\u2019s release, where he claimed that his opponent couldn\u2019t remember his own name \u2013 nor ever being slapped, in the first place. Paul went on to compare the incident to his scandal in Japan\u2019s Aokigahara \u2018Suicide Forest\u2019 in early 2018, expressing relief that he\u2019d pulled out of the Russian slap battle ahead of time. \u201cThis is that moment where, in Tokyo, you didn\u2019t have someone telling you this is not a good idea,\u201d Paul said of the debacle. \u201c\u2026I\u2019m at the fork in the fuckin\u2019 road, dude. I\u2019ve been at this place before, and I went the wrong way, and now, I\u2019m gonna go the right fuckin\u2019 way.\u201d [Timestamp: 4:10 for mobile viewers] The YouTuber has since claimed that he is going to pursue a career in fighting, after expressing an acute desire to step away from the video platform in the past. With Logan stepping away from the slap battle, it looks like he will throw down next with YouTuber KSI in their November 2019 boxing rematch, although no date nor venue have yet been set as of May 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
