Logan Paul Dismisses Boxing Match With Messi’s Bodyguard, Challenges Him to Street Fight in Puerto Rico
Logan Paul is once again stirring the pot in the combat sports world — this time by shutting down the idea of a traditional boxing match with Lionel Messi’s well-known bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko. Instead, Paul issued a bold challenge, inviting Cheuko to fly to Puerto Rico for an all-out street fight.
The YouTuber-turned-WWE star made the remarks during a recent appearance on Adin Ross’s stream, where he expressed zero interest in stepping into the ring with Cheuko under official rules.
During the appearance, he said that Messi’s bodyguard was not worth his attention. Moreover, he added: “I’m a WWE superstar who found his calling in life and I am going for it. If you wanna pull up on me in your free time, we’re fighting in Puerto Rico, bare fists.”
Yassine Cheuko, a former Navy SEAL and trained martial artist, has built a viral following due to his intense protection of Messi, particularly during Inter Miami matches. His intimidating presence and background have made him a popular figure on social media — and now, apparently, a target for Paul’s next viral stunt.

Logan Paul, known for his flashy persona and penchant for controversy, emphasized that the fight wouldn’t be for show. “I don’t want a boxing match that ends in hugs and judges,” he added. “If he’s serious, he’ll come to my turf, and we’ll settle it like men.”
The challenge has sparked major buzz online, with fans split over whether Paul is serious or simply chasing headlines. So far, Cheuko has not responded publicly to the invitation.
Whether a real confrontation or just another stunt in the influencer combat circus, Paul’s latest move proves one thing: he’s always ready to blur the lines between entertainment, sport, and chaos.
