Logan Paul on breaking his hand

“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.
