“Danny made me a billionaire,” Paul said in the video.
“KSI called me out to a boxing match…. (but) there was no way I could fight this man, I have better things to do.”
Danny stopped me… he flew over (to the US) and said, ‘Logan, mate, he (KSI) is the biggest You Tuber in the UK. It would be huge.

Speaking on the Impaulsive TikTok page, Paul recalled how Adelaide raised Danny Philippou (pictured left) and convinced him to get in the ring with fellow YouTube sensation KSI
“Now I’ve partnered with KSI, we’re friends and we have this great company, it warms my heart.”
Before launching their global business together, KSI defeated Paul in their November 2019 boxing match via split decision.
Their “great company” is Prime, a controversial energy drink that has taken the world by storm.
Launched in January 2022, the canned drink has since been banned in Australia following its arrival earlier this year due to its obscenely high caffeine content.
Food Standards Australia State Energy Drinks regulations must contain no more than 32mg of caffeine per 100ml.
A 350ml can of Prime Energy contains 200mg of caffeine – that’s double the limit.
Nicole Higgins, president of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, has urged parents not to allow their children to try the drink, which has a cult following among some high school students.

“My message to anyone considering trying a Prime Energy drink is to steer clear of it,” she shared. News Corp.
“They’re banned in Australia for a reason — that caffeine content can be very dangerous.”
Danny and his twin brother Michael Philippou are best known online as the ‘RackaRacka’ brothers.
Their YouTube channel, founded in 2013, is known for its intense live-action horror comedy videos.
The twins have 6.74 million YouTube followers and often describe their lifestyle as “surreal.”
Their latest creation Talk to me sparked a bidding war at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and the brothers will make a big mark on Hollywood.
