Evander Kane responds to Logan Paul's comments about boxing match
Warning: Story contains coarse language
After challenging YouTube star Jake Paul to a boxing match last week, San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane has now drawn the attention of Jake's older brother, Logan Paul.
"Put him on the list. I'll do it," Logan Paul said on his podcast "Impaulsive." "There's fighting in hockey, I get it. ... It's boxing. It is a sport. There's strategy, there's technique. ... He's probably tough as hell, man's probably tough as nails. I bet his chin's not. Most people's aren't."

Kane publicized his desire to fight Jake over the last several days after the YouTube star knocked out ex-NBA player Nate Robinson in a boxing match on Saturday. Kane took to Twitter once again to show he's not afraid to take on either brother after hearing Logan's comments.

Logan expressed concern about Kane's popularity but seemed to entertain the idea of actually being on board with organizing a bout - whether it involves him or his brother.
"Does Jake Paul vs. Evander Kane - is that a headline fight? How many buys does that get? How many people?" Paul said. "Or does he just do it because he'll get another fantastic fucking knockout?"
With Kane seemingly not backing down from his challenge, the ball now looks to be in the Paul brothers' court.
