    As a kid, you were told to use your words when resolving conflict. If that doesn’t work, you can always beat the crap out of each other on YouTube.

    At least that’s how vlogger Logan Paul and fellow YouTuber Olajide “KSI” Olatunji did it.

    The YouTube stars, infamous for extreme content on their channels, have been taking a swing at each other online for a while, and finally decided to move it to the ring.

    As Mashable puts it:

    After months of hype, shit talking, and petty drama, YouTube has made its final descent into the gutter. Disgraced vlogger Logan Paul faced off against fellow YouTuber Olajide “KSI” Olatunji for a sold out boxing match in Manchester, UKon Saturday, while their respective brothers, Jake Paul and Oladeji “Deji” Olatunji, traded blows in an undercard.

    The Jake vs. Deji match went something like this:

    Jake, who entered the ring with a plastic muzzle and “Fuck Jake Paul” bling around his neck reeked of confidence, which comes as no surprise from the cocky YouTuber.

    Deji, on the other hand, bumbled his way to the ropes with his face covered.

    By the end of round one, Jake’s face was bloodied from a blow to the face. Deji’s white gloves were stained red.

    Jake maintained a slight upper hand on Deji through the fourth round, though Deji managed to hold him off well. But at the end of round five Jake rocked Deji with a series of punches, enough for the latter’s team to throw in the towel and forfeit the match before the final sixth round.

    Lovely. All very civilised. Jake had the following to say about the whole thing, before advertising his clothing line:

    “Deji fought an amazing fight,” Jake said afterward. “I respect him. I hope he learned a lesson about the things that he said, ’cause he said some shit about my family that wasn’t cool … but much respect to Deji, no hard feelings.”

    Which brings us to the main event – Logan vs. KSI. Both made a big deal about walking to the ring. Then they traded insults. Then they taunted each other some more. No surprises there.

    The first few rounds were characterised by cheap shots and wild swings.

    Logan seemed to amp up his energy at the start of round five, and managed to land a series of explosive punches on KSI. Both were exhausted by the end of the round, as KSI landed a strong right hook. At this point there is no clear winner.

    In round six, KSI connected with multiple strong punches against Logan, who seemed defeated with a minute to go. KSI’s stamina kept him above water.

    In the end, the judges landed with a “majority draw,” giving the YouTubers another chance to settle the score and profit off the drama. The two already have a rematch in the works in Los Angeles.

    The two left the stage with more shit-talking. Both have agreed to a rematch, which is not surprising considering how much cash they raked in:

    Regardless of the outcome, the months-long buildup to the event, along with the over 780,000 accounts that shelled over $10 and tuned in, helped line the pockets of the already rich YouTubers. Using their massive platforms fueled by clickbait-y drama, the Paul and Olatunji brothers did what they do best: take money from children — or, really, parents willing to open their wallets for merch and PPV.

    And now for what you all came here to see. Enjoy watching these idiots getting punched in the face. Cue highlight reel:
