Logan Paul jokes brother Jake is ‘POOR’ after crypto crash despite YouTube star’s £30m boxing earnings

LOGAN PAUL joked his brother Jake is “POOR” after a crypto crash -despite the YouTube star’s £30million boxing earnings.

Jake ranked as the third-highest paid boxer over the last year, behind only Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury.

The American is a keen investor, especially in the cryptocurrency space.

It means he could have been affected after the crypto and stock market plummeted in recent days.

Logan, 27, himself admitted to losing $500,000 and later joked brother Jake, 25, has also taken a hit despite his recent earnings.

He said on his podcast: “Doesn’t matter. He put it all in crypto. He’s poor.”

Logan then clarified: “Dude, I’m so proud of Jake, he’s crushing it.”

Paul also ranked as the sixth highest-paid athlete under 25, having banked $37m (£30m) in the last year through his prizefights.

That is according to , who had Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, 25, topping the list with £53.2m earned.

Paul is currently 5-0 with four knockouts since his professional debut in 2020.

But he has faced criticism of his opponents and record for not yet facing a recognised pro.

Paul last fought in December in a short-notice rematch against Tyron Woodley, 40, after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out.

He knocked out replacement Woodley, having previously beaten the ex-UFC champion on points in August.

It added to KOs over gamer ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.

Paul recently announced he will return on August 13 for his sixth professional bout.

He tweeted: “Made my pro-debut January 30, 2020. 2 years & 4 months later, I’m the 6th highest paid athlete in the world 25 and under.

“Hate me all you want… I’m just gonna prove you wrong. Next stop August 13th.”
