More YouTubers may be fighting on the KSI vs Logan Paul 2 undercard imPaulsive, KSI vs Logan Paul – YouTubeYouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI are set to touch gloves on November 9 in one of the net\u2019s most highly-anticipated boxing rematches yet \u2013 but boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is making a big change in comparison to last year\u2019s fight. While the YouTubers\u2019 initial bout in August 2018 featured an undercard full of social media stars, this time, the grudge match is \u201cgoing pro,\u201d with Logan Paul and KSI being the only internet celebs featured in the event. Hearn explained his reasoning for the change as a means to bring fresh eyes to the historic sport of boxing, claiming that the rematch \u201cis a chance for boxing to bring in new fans \u2026to show them the greatness of our sport.\u201d However, Hearn may have changed his tune to his \u201cno YouTubers\u201d undercard, as stated during an episode of Logan Paul\u2019s \u2018imPaulsive\u2019 podcast where he appeared to entertain the idea of featuring other social media celebs \u2013 if they\u2019re up to snuff. \u201cIt\u2019s not that I\u2019m against YouTubers on the card, it\u2019s just that when I was speaking to the boxing media, I\u2019m sort of saying, \u2018This isn\u2019t gonna be a YouTuber event. This is a YouTube fight, but they\u2019re pro fighters,\u2019\u201d Hearn explained. \u201c\u2026it\u2019s not that I\u2019m ruling out other fights on the card \u2013 that\u2019s a conversation to be had with us and DAZN and you guys, as well.\u201d (Timestamp: 11:09 for mobile viewers) Hearn also addressed concerns from Jake Paul, who uploaded a video begging to be featured both in the press conference and the undercard \u2013 but it looks like organizers are hoping for the Team 10 co-founder to fight in a separate event, altogether. \u201cIt\u2019s just about strategy moving forward,\u201d Hearn continued. \u201cWe can\u2019t just make our business like, \u2018Oh yeah, everybody \u2013 do you wanna go? Do you wanna go?\u2019 There\u2019s got to be strategy, and there\u2019s gotta be skill. \u2026I probably want you to fight a pro. A very limited pro.\u201d Although Jake Paul still has his issues with the idea, an official lineup for the undercard remains to be seen \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t look like the possibility of other YouTubers fighting on the card is completely out of the question. KSI vs Logan Paul 2 will throw down in the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 9, bringing with it a new era of \u201cYouTube boxing\u201d \u2013 but exactly how many \u201cYouTubers\u201d will partake in the event is up in the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
