Jake Paul came out on top in the final weigh-in (Picture: YouTube) Logan Paul came out on top at the final weigh-in against KSI, before their eagerly anticipated fight, on 25 August. The YouTubers are set to get in the ring in Manchester, with their brothers, Jake Paul and Deji on the undercard. And the 23-year-old slightly edged his opponent, coming in at 86kg ahead of the bout. The 25-year-old weighed in at 84.9, which could mean one of the biggest fights in recent history could be even closer. KSI attended the weigh-in wearing a mask (Picture: YouTube) But things got off to a bizarre start when KSI was a little late to the whole thing – leaving his opponent to scream, ‘Where you at? !’ When he eventually turned up, he came wearing a mask of Jake’s girlfriend Chloe Bennet’s face. We’re not entirely sure why… But the American-born star got a little barb in there, making a quip about how bad his rival’s breath was, before offering him some chewing gum. Maybe they’re saving all the real trash talk for tomorrow? All eyes were on the pair after all Hell broke loose at their last weigh-in, back in June, with Jake deciding he couldn’t quite wait to get physical with his opponent, and completely losing his cool. KSI and Logan Paul’s fight will take place on 25 August (Picture: YouTube) After KSI mocked him for the controversial Japanese Suicide Forest video he filmed earlier this year – before he was forced to issue an apology – the London-born star went a step further and asked: ‘What are you gonna do when you lose? ‘You know I’ve got an idea he’s gonna set up his camera – look all beaten and bruised – and then he’s gonna say something familiar…’ Grabbing a blonde wig from side stage the Brit, real name Olajide Olatunji, made fun of the scandal. Logan wasn’t too impressed, promptly flipping the wig from his head, squaring up to him and pushing him. As KSI stumbled to the side, younger brother Deji ran to his aid and Logan’s brother, Jake, tried to intervene – as did burly members from their separate security teams, with a mass brawl nearly erupting on stage. But it doesn’t look as though Logan is worried about facing off against his fellow YouTuber in the ring – and has put a $1,000,000 (£760,000) bet on himself to win. One thing is for sure, tomorrow night will definitely be eventful. Got a showbiz story?

KSI or Logan Paul? YouTube fans around the world have chosen whose side they are on, and will be watching when the pair of social media heavyweights step into the ring at Manchester Arena. Both are wildly popular, both are massively divisive, both have highly controversial pasts. Who are KSI and Logan Paul? image copyright PA/Getty Images KSI is the brash 25-year-old British gamer, comedy vlogger and rapper whose videos have racked up 4.4 billion views despite heavy criticism for lewd comments towards women in some of his clips. Logan Paul is the 23-year-old US prankster (and former state wrestler) who made his name on Vine before moving to YouTube, where he's had 3.9 billion views, and who caused outrage earlier this year for showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan. Both have cultivated a frenzied online feud in order to hype up this bout, which will be streamed pay-per-view on YouTube. Their brothers Jake Paul (4.9 billion views) and Deji (3.3 billion) will fight on the undercard. A chance for redemption? What KSI and Logan say image caption Logan apparently fed KSI chewing gum at the weigh-in Both seem to have largely shrugged off their controversies, but the fight will be seen by some as a way to prop up, and cash in on, their careers. Asked by BBC News whether he's hoping to redeem himself, Logan says: "I don't think this is the redemption. I think it may mark a part of it, but by no means is this fight a redemption for my mistake that happened in January. "But I think it is an opportunity to for me to have taken a step back from the internet and focus my efforts elsewhere, and it's an opportunity for me to show the world a new version of Logan Paul, not just silly internet vlog boy." KSI, when asked whether he has regrets about his past behaviour, tells BBC News: "I definitely have regrets for some of the things I've said and done, but you know, I'm a human being and human beings make mistakes. "Because it's me, it's showcased all over the internet, but that's just how it is." What the fans are saying Social media can be a combative place, so perhaps it's logical for social superstars to take their hostility a into the real world. At one of KSI's training sessions in Manchester before the fight, fan Shaf Miah, 25, from London, says the white-collar amateur bout is "the next level of internet beef". He says: "If you read comments [on YouTube], people want to physically hit someone if they don't like them or if they've done something annoying. And to see their favourite YouTuber do it for them, they're obviously going to pay money to watch it." media caption How Logan and Jake Paul became social media superstars Michael Zepeda, 21, has come from LA for the fight. "They've both got a lot of subscribers, they both get a lot of views," he says. "Everybody wants to watch. "I want to see Logan get his ass beat. He deserves it. He's done many messed up things for views. He crossed that line, definitely." CJ Melia, 21, has travelled to Manchester from Dublin. "I cannot wait," he says. "I'm so excited for this. I've been watching KSI for about nine years. He's the reason I started my first YouTube channel eight years ago. "I never thought something like this would happen. This is the biggest event YouTube has ever done." What the pros are saying media caption Tyson Fury has a few thoughts How the bout came about This all started when two other YouTubers - Joe Weller and Theo Baker, AKA Malfoy - went into the ring last year, and KSI said he would fight the winner. KSI took on Weller at the Copper Box Arena in London in February, and won. That was streamed live on YouTube for free, with 1.8 million people watching live and 36 million more watching on the pair's official channels since. Weller has five million subscribers to Logan Paul's 18 million. Saturday's fight will be much bigger - but this time, punters have to pay £7.50 to watch. The biggest event in internet history? Really? The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge might have something to say about that. Their 2011 wedding holds the Guinness World Record for the most live streams for a single event, at 72 million - although that obviously wasn't a product of the online world, as this fight is. YouTuber Jordan Antle, who goes by the name TheFearRaiser, says the fight's billing is not over the top. "This is a massive event and I would definitely say this is going to be one of the biggest internet events so far in history," he tells BBC News. "Seeing two YouTubers who have a large fanbase fighting each other live in front of millions of people in unheard of. It's a very strange combination of two worlds and it's attracting a lot of attention because of how different it is." image copyright Getty Images image caption Jake Paul has also tried football, playing in a charity match in Houston in December KSI and the Paul brothers have certainly been doing their best to whip their fans into a frenzy. Insult-filled videos and diss tracks have flown back and forth, and ill-tempered press conferences have taken place in Los Angeles and London. And on Wednesday, Deji turned up unannounced at the Pauls' training gym in Manchester and ended up getting a slap from Jake. You may also like: Is it for real? The antics have all been more WWE than WBO. But KSI's manager Liam Chivers insists it's "100% real".<doc-sep>KSI was slightly heavier than his rival KSI when the YouTube influencers weighed in for their boxing fight. The pair will touch gloves at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night following months of bickering. And Paul will do so having weighed 86kg compared to KSI's 84.9kg. The pair faced off in front of a select crowd with the event not open to the public. That will change on Saturday when up to 20,000 fans roll into the arena with millions expected to buy the pay-per-view on the streaming outlet. (Image: YouTube) In the co-main event, Deji, KSI's brother, and Jake Paul, sibling of Logan, weighed in separately and did not face off following an incident earlier in the week. The pair reportedly came to blows after Deji interrupted his opponent's public meet and greet. Paul scaled 82.5kg with his British opponent weighing 79.1kg.

But it was MOMO who came out on top in the ring, taking a points decision. JMX vs Coach Richard - JMX wins! Richard Strachan is a former 200m and 400m runner who won relay gold at the European Indoor Championships in 2013. But he was no match for JMX here.

Two men who bring actual combat experience to the ring. FaZe Sensei has a background in karate while his opponent is experienced in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

It didn’t phase him though as he knocked overtflow down twice, and left him with a bruised eye, in a professional performance after a managing the opening two rounds perfectly. Rackaracka vs Scarce - Rackaracka wins! Two of the biggest draws on the card with more than 10million followers between them, this fight is sure to bring in the crowds. But once the fight started there was only ever one winner. Rackaracka came out strong and landed almost three rounds worth of punches on Scare, who stood and took them valiantly, before the ref finally called it off in the third round. As one sided as they come. AnEsonGib vs Jay Swingler - AnEsonGib wins! Another two YouTube sensations, they will put bragging rights on the line with more than 2.6million followers on the social media platform.

But after four rounds of nonstop punches to the face from both fighters, Gib came out on top - before calling out Joe Weller. Deji vs Jake Paul - Jake Paul wins! It’s a family affair in Manchester as KSI’s brother Deji takes on Paul’s brother Jake. The pair are the chief support act and were on just before their siblings. Jake Paul had predicted a first round KO, but Deji surprised many with his adventure and bravery, but was ultimately well beaten. Paul looked well organised and took his shots well before confirming his victory in the fifth round when Deji’s corner threw in the towel.<doc-sep>
