However, Jake backed down, letting his older brother Logan step in to fight KSI whilst KSI’s brother Deji stepped in to fights Jake. The second fight was advertised with Deji and Jake’s names being listed in the manner of a co-main event. Two press conferences were held to promote the fight, the first on 16 June outside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles which was hosted by two-time Heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs and the second on 18 July at York Hall in Bethnal Green, East London. During the London press conference, KSI and Deji mocked both Logan and Jake, Logan’s girlfriend Chloe Bennet and their father Greg Paul to the point that both Paul brothers walked out of the press conference prematurely.
