Logan Paul is finally revealing how he broke his hand last year … admitting it happened while drunkenly attempting to get the high score on an arcade boxing game.
TMZ Sports posted pics of Logan with a busted hand back in September … but for the longest time, no one knew the 5 Ws and 1 H about the injury.
As it turns out, the Maverick was out on the town in Germany … and when he came across an arcade punching bag at a bar, he grew determined to stroke his own “I’m a real boxer” ego and get the top score.
Logan says the bartender warned him beforehand about a column positioned right next to the game that has resulted in several broken hands in the past … but he had his eyes set on his goal.
“I said, ‘Guy, I’m a boxer,'” Logan said on his “Impaulsive” podcast. “I go, ‘I’m not going to hit the f***ing wall.'”
Sure enough, on Logan’s third and final attempt … he gave himself a running start, wound up and his hand made solid contact with the Column of Doom … shattering his paw in the process.
But, before he went to the hospital, Logan decided to record some epic #content … showing off his bones and joking about trying the game one last time.
Eventually, Logan went to get checked out, where he learned he broke his third metacarpal — which is located at the base of the middle finger.
The scary part — Paul says he was told it’s a career-ending injury for boxers.
“It was very hard to hear, it was very depressing — especially when you’re drunk, hearing things like this,” Paul said.

But, Logan says he’s recovered now and is already back to training … and as he told us last month, he is planning to take a fight in 2022.
No word on whether Logan will return to that bar for redemption … but if he does, we’re hoping he takes a glove next time.
