‘Extraordinary moment in boxing television’: Logan Paul’s awkward exchange

There was a hilariously awkward moment at the Jake Paul-Tommy Fury right when Jake’s brother Logan was interviewed.

Rule number one as an interviewer — always listen closely to the answer.

Broadcaster Radio Rahim learned the hard way when he delivered a hilariously awkward moment while chatting to Logan Paul midway through the Jake Paul-Tommy Fury fight.

After the third round of the fight — which Fury won by split decision — Radio Rahim asked Logan what his message to Jake was before he walked out.

“I said, ‘Jake I love you, I’m not going to give you a big speech, I know you got this but come back victorious or come back on your shield, I love you bro’,” Logan said.

Unfortunately for Radio Rahim he was the only person listening to Logan who failed to realise that “I love you bro” was the end of his pre-fight message to Jake.

“I love you too, man,” the interviewer replied, prompting an uproar of laughter from those watching along.

NAAAA 😭😭 The interviewer just asked Logan Paul what he said to Jake before the fight, Logan told him and ended with “I love you bro” and the interviewer said “I love you too man” 😭

Did Radio Rahim just say “I love you too man” to Logan Paul when Logan was saying “I love you” to his brother?

It was a lighter moment in a controversial night as Fury was given the nod on two scorecards.

Two judges had the eight-rounder 76-73 for the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, while a third scored it 75-74 for Paul.
