Following an explosive weekend in London, DAZN revisits the Pound for Pound list for Crossover boxers. KSI and Salt Papi enjoyed brilliant wins but what does it mean for their position on the chart that every crossover fighter wants to top?
1. Jake Paul

Joining the professional ranks in 2019, Jake Paul has been at the centre of a number of high-profile feuds, but has still yet to settle his biggest rivalries against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. Wins over Tyron Woodley have provided the popular YouTuber with some credit, and he added to that in 2022 with a win over Anderson Silva.
2. Anderson Silva
A former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva made the switch to boxing in 2021 and caused quite a stir when he defeated former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr via split decision. Silva followed up the win with a first-round knockout over former MMA star, Tito Ortiz. A loss to Jake Paul in October last year sees Silva fall a place from number one.
3. KSI
Misfits Boxing
After performing in several exhibition bouts, most notably against Logan Paul, KSI crossed over to pro boxing in 2019 when he faced Paul in a rematch. The YouTuber/rapper was victorious against Paul and he's improved his ledger with wins over Luis Alcaraz, Swarmz, and Faze Temper.
4. Logan Paul
Currently creating a solid impression in WWE, Logan Paul has not waved goodbye to boxing just yet. A frequent competitor in exhibition bouts, most notably against Floyd Mayweather, Paul’s sole pro-outing in 2019 saw him lose on points to KSI. The older brother of Jake Paul, Logan is expecting to return to the boxing ring at some point and he won’t find it hard securing an opponent.
5. Salt Papi
An incredible stoppage over Josh Brueckner at X Series 004 sees Salt Papi make his debut on this list. Impressing from the first bell, Papi delivered the performance of the evening with his stunning win. Big nights are awaiting the Filipino sensation and you'd be foolish to dismiss his chances moving forward.
