Millions tuned in for the first bout last August, which was ruled a draw, when the two fighters were both amateurs.
This is now a professional fight, with Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn promoting the bout.
The press conference, taking place at The Troxy in east London, had to be delayed by 30 minutes because so many people were trying to get inside.
The first fight, which was streamed directly on YouTube, was first priced at £6 before being raised to £7.50 – with an estimated PPV revenue of around £8million.
Sky Sports head of boxing Adam Smith said: “We’re very excited to be showing KSI-Logan Paul 2 live.
“Both KSI and Logan have agreed to enter the world of professional boxing for their second fight and I’ve been to see their training camps in LA and London, both training hard, both determined to silence their YouTube rival at The Staples Center.
“We’re embracing change and the demand for entertainment, opening up Sky Sports Box Office and our growing sport to a new audience for a price of £9.95.

“A chance for us to showcase all levels of boxing to a new demographic, with world-class fighters in action before the YouTube stars.
“It’s going to be a spectacular build-up in Los Angeles.
“Britain’s WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders and Devin Haney, one of America’s hottest talents are on the same bill – and KSI and Logan Paul will then take centre stage to settle their rivalry.”
