History Creator / LoganPaul

On August 25, 2018, he fought against British [=YouTuber=] and rapper Creator/{{KSI}} in a very hyped-up amateur boxing match at Manchester Arena in Britain. The lead-up to this match began on February 3 when KSI, after beating [=YouTuber=] Joe Weller in a match at London's Copper Box Arena, called out the Paul brothers to fight him. Later that month, the Paul brothers agreed to fight the Olatunji brothers (KSI and his younger brother [[WebVideo/ComedyShortsGamer Deji]]) in a two-part boxing match; one part held in the UK, the other in the U.S., with the elder brothers fighting on main card and the younger brothers fighting on the co-main card. The first part of Logan and KSI's fight ended in a majority draw, with two judges calling it a tie and one judge calling KSI the winner. The second part was planned for either February or May 2019, but it was later announced in September that year to be held on November 9, 2019, this time as a professional boxing match (i.e. no headgear). Paul lost the rematch in a split decision (not helped by a blow to the back of KSI's head that deducted two points from Paul's score).

He received mainstream infamy after December 31, 2017, when he uploaded a video of him visiting [[UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} Japan's]] infamous Aokigahara forest, a place known for its high UsefulNotes/{{suicide}} rate, and coming across the corpse of a man who had hung himself. Long story short, this caused a lot of backlash.

At the tail end of 2022, Logan Paul was caught in a controversy when an NFT based game he released entitled Cryptozoo was covered by Coffeezilla. A fellow YouTuber who covers scams and does investigative journalism based on his findings and his video implicated Paul and his company in a large NFT based scam. Paul has since offered to give back money to the people who bought it, but his fanbase had a negative reaction when he threatened to take Cofeezilla to court on a slander charge.

* IHatePastMe: He has stated in an Instagram story that he detests his younger self, and that he let money and fame turn him into “an intolerable asshole”.

* ExcitedShowTitle: A frequent trope in his videos. "LIVE ALLIGATOR PRANK ON NEW ROOMMATE!" and "CHLOGAN'S FIRST DAUGHTER!" are just a couple random examples.

On June 6, 2021, Paul fought against 50-0 undefeated professional boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. in a hyped-up, eight-round catchweight exhibition match that went the distance. Since the match was an exhibition match, it was not judged and the match didn't affect either man's official record.

* YesMan: Discussed, Logan admits that before he gained infamy for his actions in the suicide forest, he surrounded himself with an entourage of people who never challenged his viewpoints and encouraged his bad habits. While he still takes responsibility for his recklessness and still regrets his actions, he admits he's happy to be with people who are brave enough to challenge his ideas.
