YouTuber Logan Paul has made it onto many blacklists in recent times, one of those being that of British YouTuber Olajide Olatunji, better known on the internet as KSI.

KSI and the Paul clan have found themselves in somewhat of an online battle, after the former challenged brothers Jake and Logan to a boxing match.

This comes after KSI fought (and won) in the ring against fellow vlogger Joe Weller around the same time last year. Now he's set his sights on finding a new competitor, saying he's willing to challenge 'any of the Pauls'.

Needless to say, the internet's been eagerly awaiting to hear the result of the potential fight in hope that Logan (who was embroiled in controversy earlier this year thanks to his Japanese suicide forest video) will agree.

There's been a fair bit of back-and-forth in the build up, with the Pauls even electing their 55-year-old dad for the fight, offering KSI $50,000 if he agrees to the challenge.

However, the story took a new twist this weekend, as Logan yesterday posted a video on YouTube in which he said: "Yes, it looks like I am fighting KSI."

Although KSI said nothing has been set in stone, he did confirm that by 18th March of this year, he'd reveal the identity of his competitor. Let's hope he stays true to his word.

Whether Logan and KSI do end up making it to the ring or not, they've definitely nailed the hype build-up. Already it's the internet's most talked about fight, and we don't even know for sure if it's happening yet.

It certainly looks likely though, particularly on Logan's side - if he backs out now after posting the above video, it won't be a good look for his already tarnished image.

If Logan vs. KSI does happen, this could wind up bigger than McGregor vs. Mayweather. And as Logan himself pointed out: "It's the US vs. the UK". The question now is, who's your money on?
