Andrew was the former ISKA cruiserweight division champion, while Tristan has been an ex-champion in K1. Moreover, their experience in the ring could have been taught to YouTube sensation Logan Paul. Tristan revealed that he and his brother were once present in the same club as Paul before his second fight with KSI and even offered to train him, but it did not come to fruition because of a waitress.

The world doesn’t know this, but I offered to train Logan Paul once when he had his match with KSI. What was the name of the club, we were in the exact same club as him so I was about 5 feet away from him and I said to this waitress, some bottled bimbo that kickboxing European champion and World champion are in the house and we offer to train him for his next fight and this girl comes over to me and says oh I can’t go up to him and talk to him cause there are so many people around him so he narrowly missed on the training of a lifetime” He said.

Will Logan Paul return to boxing?

In hindsight, things have turned out great for Paul, even though his boxing career could not take off. After his bout with KSI, Paul only competed in one exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather. He then announced that he would not compete in the ring anymore after he broke his hand in Germany.

Moreover, he is currently more focused on his other projects and has also dedicated his time to professional wrestling. As such, he made his singles debut for the WWE at SummerSlam, grabbing a win over his rival, The Miz.
