Logan Paul has spoken out about the tense moment following his brother Jake Paul’s boxing match with Anthony Joshua where he tried to steal a chain from the British boxer.
Jake Paul’s fight with Anthony Joshua drew huge attention on Netflix, bringing in over 33 million live viewers.
A large proportion of that number were drawn by a mix of curiosity as to whether Jake Paul could last more than one round and for those less keen on Paul, hopes they’d see AJ beat his a**.
Viewers got both in the end, with Jake Paul lasting six rounds but ending up with a broken jaw for his troubles.

Not one to be one upped in the spotlight however, Jake’s brother WWE wrestler Logan drew attention after he snuck up behind AJ and tried to steal his chain.
AJ was seen after the fight wearing a very expensive looking chain with the symbol of crypto company Polymarket, with reports coming out since the fight that it was worth £370,000.
Logan tried to take it off the British boxer, causing a heated confrontation with Joshua’s team who got into his face.
The former YouTuber has since spoken out about why he chose to try and snatch the chain, saying to DAZN news: “It's a Polymarket chain. Did you see it? Did you see that thing?
"Like a half-million-dollar chain. You snatched my brother's jaw. I snatch your chain.
“Except, I couldn't get it off. I texted the Polymarket guys. I'm like, 'Dude, this a high-quality chain. I couldn't get it off.’”
This is not the first time one of the Paul brothers has sparked a fight by messing with one of their brother’s opponents.
Jake Paul sparked headlines ahead of Logan’s fight with Floyd Mayweather for stealing the boxing legend’s hat, saying ‘gotcha hat’ then running away.
This sparked a huge brawl in which Jake got punched in the face by one of his bodyguards.
Paul’s fight with Anthony Joshua has seen him receive praise from the boxing community for actually stepping into the ring with the former heavyweight world champion, though some have criticised him for his strategy.

On the way to earning a broken jaw the influencer-cum-boxer landed only 16 punches in six rounds.
In the sixth round however, AJ landed a clean shot, breaking his jaw in two places.
He’s since spoken out about how he has been unable to eat solid foods and has had titanium plates fitted to his jaw.
Speaking about his performance in the fight, AJ said: “The end goal was to pin Jake Paul down and hurt him. It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination."
