The newest PRIME athlete Erling Haaland was the special guest on Logan Paul’s IMPAUSIVE podcast episode #392. The Manchester City striker sat down with Paul and KSI to talk about soccer and fighting. At one point, they combined the two conversations. Paul asked Haaland about trash-talking.

He asked, “You ever talk s**t on the field? You ever try to get in your opponent’s head, play some mind games?”
Haaland responded, “I mean, there’s a bit of talking here and there but uh I don’t do a lot, to be honest. I try to to focus on myself uh but of course, it’s a little bit uh s**t talking here and there. But that’s a part of the game.”
The Norwegian soccer star was then posed with an unexpected question. He was asked, “What if it turns into something like… could you ever see yourself stepping into the ring and going up against like [Kylian] Mbappe or just not anybody specifically…”
Haaland immediately responded negatively. He said, “No… I’m not, I’m not really into fighting uh, to be honest. I prefer just to speak so no not really no not really.”
Haaland, who recently bagged the PFA Player of the Year 2022/23 award, has rarely been seen fighting on the field. He has never received a red card in his entire professional career. A fight with French soccer star Kylian Mbappe was an instant no for Haaland.
Erling Haaland makes his prediction for KSI vs. Tommy Fury
Paul asked Haaland about ‘The Prime Card’ that is set to take place on October 14, 2023. He asked, “Do you know about that KSI fighting Tommy Fury?”
Haaland replied with an affirmative. Paul then asked him to pretend that KSI was not in the room and give his honest prediction of who would win the fight. Haaland said, “The other guy.”
The guest and the hosts burst into laughter while a disappointed KSI said jokingly that he hoped that Haaland would not score any more goals going forward.

The Manchetser City forward also mentioned that he had watched the press conference that aired on August 22, 2023. He opined that it was a bit out of control. Dillon Danis, who will touch gloves with Paul at ‘The Prime Card’, got into a heated argument with the YouTube megastar during the press conference. They ended up getting their teams involved in a brawl.
Haaland was praised for his down-to-earth nature as he appeared to have a very humble attitude during the podcast. What did you think about Haaland’s appearance on IMPAULSIVE? Let us know in the comments below.
