While we don't condone violence, plenty of people out there on the internet would love to see someone punch disgraced YouTuber Logan Paul in the face. Well, that opportunity may have just presented itself.

Back in February, British YouTuber Olajide Olatunji, better known on the internet as KSI, fought fellow vlogger Joe Weller in a boxing match, because apparently that's how we're settling petty drama on the internet nowadays. Anyway, KSI won the match, and while accepting his victory belt, he challenged Jake and Logan Paul. Actually, he challenged "any of the Pauls."

The original fight has been watched over 16 million times on YouTube, making it just as popular as a hyped professional boxing match, if not moreso.

Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and to be fair, KSI have all been miiiiiilking this challenge for sweet, sweet content with multiple response videos. The Pauls elected their creepy dad to fight, KSI fired back, it's a whole thing, and honestly, every one of them is playing this up, as all YouTubers thirsty for fame, views, and exposure do.

While KSI confirmed that nothing was set in stone, Logan uploaded a clip on YouTube on Saturday confirming that a fight would happen. So if he backs out now, it won't look good for his already tarnished image.

We'll see if it actually pans out. The YouTubers can't seem to agree on location, weight class, and details such as head gear, but we'll probably find that out after another 15 response videos from each of them.

Considering YouTubers tend to draw a very young audience, we'd like to point out that these two fighting in a boxing match sets a terrible example for their young fans. They should absolutely be ashamed that they're condoning violence to sort out their problems, whether it be a boxing match or street fight.
