Logan Paul is his brother’s biggest supporter. Having grown up together through thick and thin, it is undeniable that the brothers share an unshakeable bond. However, Logan may well have cost Jake Paul his fight against Tommy Fury.
Taking place in Saudi Arabia on February 27, the fight was a closely drawn affair. During the break between rounds, Logan was handed the mic on one occasion. As expected, the YouTuber took the chance to trash-talk the British boxer. Taking the mic, Logan was heard saying, “Tommy if you can hear me, you a b**** bro, you gassin’ out!” Unfortunately, it did not bring the result that Logan expected.

As many including Jake Paul’s former teammate, Hasim Rahman Jr. pointed out, it only motivated Fury even further. With Logan heckling Tommy and saying that his ‘legs are going’, Fury instead got up and delivered his best round. “Tommy start turning up after Logan provoked him during the fight 🤣🤣 Bruh start putting that shxt together,” Rahman wrote on Twitter.
Eventually, Tommy went on to beat Jake via a split decision. Although many argued that the decision was wrong, the punching stats revealed that the judges’ cards make the fight seem closer than it really was. On the night, Jake only landed 49 out of 152 punches whereas Fury landed 88 punches out of an attempted 302.
John Fury has called out Jake Paul for his double-or-nothing bet
Prior to the fight, Jake set forth an interesting proposition for Tommy Fury. As per their bet, Tommy stood to make double his purse if he won and nothing if he lost. Without a moment’s hesitation, Tommy’s father, John Fury Sr. agreed to the bet and demanded that it be presented in writing.
With Tommy going on to beat Jake in the fight, many called for Jake to respect the bet he made. As such, seeing no movement from Jake or his camp, John Fury has taken to social media to call out Jake to hold up his end of the bargain. “Jake Paul, moment of truth,” he said in a clip. “You lost the fight, we had a deal, in front of millions of people worldwide, I expect you to honor that deal. You owe us some money.”

However, many have flooded the comments to the video stating that Tommy or his team did not actually sign the contract. Ahead of the fight, Jake also posted a clip stating that he signed off on the deal and sent it over to Fury’s camp. However, according to Jake, Fury’s team went radio silent and did not sign the contract to make the bet official. As such, there is no confirmation as to whether or not Tommy actually signed off on the contract.
Moreover, many have pointed out John Fury saying, “Don’t come back at me with contracts and all that bullcrap.” Thus, it more than likely implies that the contract sent over by Jake was not signed ahead of the fight by Team Fury.
With Fury asking Jake to respect the deal they shook on, will he pay up? What did you make of Logan’s actions? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
