Tensions between Logan Paul and Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, are escalating. It started with Messi’s legal dispute between PRIME and his Mas+ brand. Paul joked about settling it in the ring, but Cheuko responded by challenging him to a boxing match. Now, Messi’s bodyguard has turned up the heat, showing off his ripped physique and destroying a punching bag.
Cheuko isn’t backing down from Paul. After Paul dismissed him as just an MMA guy seeking attention, Cheuko responded with a video showcasing his striking skills and a direct challenge. Reminding Paul that he was the one who first brought up fighting a soccer player. In his social media post, the bodyguard addressed the WWE star directly, saying:
“You said I need attention. You need attention.… You start with this, you start to talk about soccer players to make a fight with soccer player. So now we are going stop talking because I know you are a YouTube product.”
The bodyguard made it clear that he comes from the streets, where people don’t just talk—they take action. Calling himself a “street product,” he told Paul to stop talking and meet him in the ring. He also took a shot at Paul, labeling him a “YouTube product.”
Logan Paul’s UFC 300 Offer Goes Unanswered by Dana White
The UFC continues to host major events like UFC 306, and even stars like Logan Paul want in on the action. After UFC 300 was announced, Paul messaged Dana White, offering to fight on the undercard at the Sphere. However, White never responded, leaving Paul feeling overlooked. On his podcast, Paul shared,
“I told Dana for UFC 300, I texted him, ‘Hey man, consider me available to fight on the undercard in the Sphere. Basically completely ignored me, which I think speaks volumes. I haven’t bothered him about it since. I think for the right fight, the right amount of money [I would do it], and I’m an entertainer at the end of the day.“
Paul’s desire to fight in the UFC may still be just a dream, but he recently called out Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, to face him in the ring. While Paul has yet to respond to the bodyguard’s challenge, tensions between them are definitely rising.
