LOGAN PAUL has confirmed his return to boxing despite suffering a “career-ending” injury and will be walked out by a fan.
The YouTuber uploaded a video on Twitter firing off combinations while hitting pads.
And he appeared to announce he will fight once more and offered a fan the chance to walk him to the ring and choose his attire.
Paul said: “The buyer of today’s Original will walk me out to my next fight and choose the colour of my robe and shorts.”
The American sells unaltered polaroid photos as NFTs which are taken over the course of 99 consecutive days and labels them “Originals.”
His latest is a picture of Paul’s broken hand he suffered during a drunken night out in Germany.

The winning bid was purchased at 37 Ethereums, which equals just over £50,000, and will secure the buyer the chance to walk Paul out.
Paul, 27, last fought in June 2021 in an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather, 45, which went the eight-round distance.
Beforehand, he had drawn and then lost in a rematch against online rival KSI, 28.
Paul had been training right after technically avoiding defeat to Mayweather and was eyeing a boxing return.

But that was until an injury caused while hitting a punch machine in Hamburg left the social media star with a broken knuckle.
Explaining the incident, Paul said: “Drunk in Germany, no surprise there, that’s what you do in Germany.
“I make really bad decisions when I’m intoxicated and my ego tends to flare up.
“And I saw this boxing arcade game in this like hole in the wall bar.
“It’s the one where the bag drops down and you hit it and you get the high score.
“Well my drunk ass wanted to set the high score so I tried like five times.
“The bartender saw how hard I was going and he said, ‘Sir, I have to warn you, be careful, I’ve seen bones before. Like, everyone hits their hand on this column.’
“And so I’m like, ‘OK dude, I’m a boxer’. F***.”
Paul continued: “It turns out I shattered the worst possible bone in your hand for boxers, the middle knuckle, the third metacarpal.

“I spent the night in a cold German hospital, not knowing if I was ever going to be able to box again.
“When the alcohol wore off, this was very depressing, but the photo’s cool.”
