Logan Paul was not surprised by the result of his brother's latest outing.
A well-known social media influencer in his own right, Jake Paul challenged Anthony Joshua in a boxing match this past week. The former two-time heavyweight champion ended up winning the bout after knocking out Paul in the sixth round. Jake had to get titanium plates installed in his mouth through surgery after the match because of a broken jaw he suffered during the fight.

The current WWE star talked about his brother's loss during an appearance on ESPN’s First Take. He claimed that nobody expected Jake Paul to actually beat an experienced boxer like Joshua and the ending was the logical conclusion to the bout:
So, strictly from a logical point of view, I actually think it went down exactly as it was supposed to. I’m not sure anyone really thought that Jake was gonna beat Anthony Joshua but, you have to understand, being his brother and in his close circle, he has this conviction that makes you believe and he has this ability to defy reality and morph it into his vision of how it’ll transpire that makes you think he’ll win… This was a logical conclusion to the fight.
Logan Paul then proclaimed that he is incredibly proud of his brother, and the whole thing was a net positive. He claimed that the fight showed the world how tough and fearless Jake Paul is and why he is in the position he is. He mentioned how his brother regularly puts himself in positions to do the impossible and that he loves him very much.
The former US Champion also confirmed that Jake is planning to enter the boxing ring again, but a timetable for it is not in place. He mentioned that Jake's fiancé Jutta Leerdam, will be competing in the upcoming winter Olympics next year, and Paul's number one priority right now is to support her.
