Recently, Logan Paul‘s trainer, Milton Lacroix gave his take on that fight. Speaking to Es News, he said, “Listen, Fury won the first fight. He beat Beyonce or Deontay. But Fury won the first fight. He killed him in the second fight. Third fight is going to be a little more easier. Fury is the next big thing.”
