YouTube star Logan Paul has signed a multi-year deal with WWE.

Paul, 27, has boxed both as an amateur and professional – like his younger brother Logan.

The American fought fellow YouTuber KSI to a majority draw in an amateur contest in 2018 then lost to the Briton on points in a professional bout in 2019.

Paul made his professional wrestling debut at WWE’s flagship event, WrestleMania, in April. He impressed with his athleticism in a tag-team match in which he partnered The Miz to take on Rey Mysterio and the WWE legend’s son Dominik.

Now Paul has signed a multi-year contract with the sports entertainment company.

The 27-year-old is expected to next feature at SummerSlam, one of WWE’s biggest events of the year.
