Taking to Twitter, Logan reflected on Askren's antics in the lead-up to the fight, claiming that the latter definitely won, despite losing inside the ring to his younger brother.

In the aftermath of Jake Paul vs Ben Askren, Logan took to social media to reveal that he initially doubted Funky for calling himself a genius when he appeared on the Impaulsive podcast.
