The Paul Brothers are one of the internet’s most famous brotherly duos. First going viral on Vine followed by their success on YouTube, brothers Jake and Logan Paul have made quite a name for themselves in the world of sports.
Taking to the world of boxing, Jake Paul is all over the news, thanks to his first-round KO of former UFC fighter Ben Askren. Askren’s defeat came as a shock to many.
