While no punches have been thrown in person just yet, Antonio Brown and Logan Paul traded figurative jabs on Twitter earlier this week. “Square up” was the tweet Antonio Brown sent in response to a tweet from Logan Paul that detailed his experience in combat training with a former member of SEAL Team Six.

“I’ll drop you faster than the Patriots” were Logan Paul’s words in response to Antonio Brown’s challenge. Brown was dropped by the Patriots after the Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins in the regular season after agitating Patriots owner Robert Kraft with his comments. There have also been multiple allegations of sexual assault against Antonio Brown. These allegations are the reason Antonio Brown finds himself out of the NFL. While the New Orleans Saints did think about offering him a way back in the postseason, the Saints decided against the move after he refused to make his entourage stay put in the workout session organised for his return.

The two Youtube stars fought six rounds in their first fight, with the bout ultimately being ruled a draw. The second fight, however, say KSI emerge the winner, courtesy of a split decision.
