The bout would be back-and-forth as Logan out-landed KSI in jabs (40-20) and KSI connected with more power punches (36-21). The referee took two points away from Logan in the fourth round due to Paul illegally punching KSI while he was down. In the end, Paul lost the bout via split decision.

In June 2021, Logan Paul fought Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout. He started strong but started fatiguing in the fourth round that led to heavy clinging.
