During a conference, Paddy Pimblett brought up the name of YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul. The Baddy said, “Logan Paul was talking about me the other week. Even YouTubers are talking about me because you know who the boy is.”
Pimblett further hinted at Paul being a clout chaser. He said, “A couple of months ago he messaged me calling me a clout chaser. And who’s the clout chaser now, son? Who’s clout chasing who?”
The Baddy also spoke about how a potential fight between him and the YouTuber would go. He added, “Everyone knows what I would do to him. He’s wrestled in high school. I have a division one wrestler come over from the US who’s wrestled at 84 kilo and out of North Carolina…I wrestle with better people…He wouldn’t be able to take me down. I’d put him on his back… can’t wait to elbow his face in.”
Logan Paul, a wrestler back in college, expressed his interest in competing in a mixed martial arts bout. Paul revealed he would like to test his skills against Paddy Pimblett.

However, Logan Paul was also appreciative of Paddy Pimblett. Paul said, “Got a real loudmouth, but I just like the way he can perform.” Addressing the weight difference between the two, Paul said he believes Pimblett can get up to 185. He added, “I think also in the offseason he can come up 25 pounds, he blows up in the offseason, I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“It’s like someone put a fuckin’ vacuum in him or a pump in him. He can get up to 185, and I can get down to 185 and possibly do a UFC match,” concluded the YouTuber and acknowledging interest in a match with the 155-pound fighter.
A match with Pimblett right now seems out of place. However, considering Logan Paul’s ability to make a way into big fights like the one against Mayweather, we might eventually see Paul and Pimblett face off.
