Logan Paul has accepted a challenge to fight Lionel Messi’s bodyguard, but he’s setting the terms for the showdown.
Yassine Chueko recently called out Paul in an Instagram video, prompting the WWE star to respond on his YouTube channel Wednesday night.
Paul dismissed Chueko’s challenge, stating, “It’s an MMA guy who thinks he can box, who thinks he’s entitled to victory or attention because he’s Messi’s bodyguard.
“I’ve offered to fly people out before, he doesn’t even deserve a fly out.”
There’s some history between the two camps as Messi’s drink brand Más+ sued Paul’s drink brand PRIME for “anti-competitive” behavior, leading to a countersuit from PRIME.
While the legal battle plays out, Paul is open to a fight with Chueko, but with conditions attached.
“I’m here in Puerto Rico, if you want to pull up on me in Puerto Rico, you’re more than welcome,” Paul declared. “When I beat your ass, and it’s a big when, not if, you’ve got to drink PRIME.”
Paul added, “I really would start to feel bad for Messi because he’s going to lose this lawsuit, he’s probably going to lose his bodyguard, because why would you hire a bodyguard if you get beat up by a YouTuber. The man is just losing everything — except the World Cup. Respect.”
