Logan Paul reveals his \u201cbiggest fight\u201d ahead of KSI rematch Logan Paul, YouTube \/ InstagramYouTube star Logan Paul is set to touch gloves with longtime rival KSI in the net\u2019s most highly-anticipated boxing rematch yet \u2013 but this isn\u2019t his biggest battle, by far. In an interview with BBC, the social media mogul claimed that boxing isn\u2019t his greatest struggle, despite his near-constant training with two-time world heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs in preparation for his rematch. Instead, Paul called back to his biggest scandal to date \u2013 one that rocked the entire world in late 2017 during his visit to Japan\u2019s Aokigahara \u201cSuicide Forest.\u201d Logan Paul\u2019s suicide forest scandal saw backlash from critics across the world. Paul made international headlines after filming the body of a suicide victim in the forest, with critics across the net accusing him of insensitivity and even mocking the victim for clicks and views. \u201cJust like everyone in life, people make mistakes,\u201d Paul said of the debacle. \u201cMine happened to be in public and in front of the whole world.\u201d Logan Paul\u2019s apology video for his 2017 scandal saw mockery from critics across the globe \u2013 but that isn\u2019t stopping him from pursuing a career in both YouTube and professional fighting.https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QwZT7T-TXT0 However, it wasn\u2019t the backlash itself that proved especially difficult for YouTube\u2019s Maverick: rather, it was his eventual comeback, with nearly a year and a half distance between the Aokigahara incident and his upcoming rematch against KSI. \u201cBeing able to take that and get up and keep on fighting, and being able to redeem yourself and make a comeback \u2013 even though 99% of the world doesn\u2019t believe in you \u2013 I think is gonna say a lot, and make a lot of people believe in themselves when they\u2019re down,\u201d he continued. Paul likewise believes that boxing helped him with this comeback, claiming that focusing on the sport has made him feel \u201chuman again,\u201d after his YouTube career \u201cmade me someone that I wasn\u2019t, because I was chasing views and likes and subscribers.\u201d Paul is set to face off with KSI on November 9 at the Los Angeles Staples Center, following their heated press conference on October 6 that saw ample backlash against the American YouTuber yet again for his divisive comments on abortion. Logan Paul is set to touch gloves with KSI once again on November 9 \u2013 over a year since their last meeting in the ring. The KSI vs Logan Paul rematch marks the first-ever professional YouTube boxing match, featuring an all-pro undercard in what could trump the massive success of the YouTubers\u2019 fight in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
