A legal dispute over energy drinks between Logan Paul and Inter Miami star Lionel Messi could potentially escalate into a boxing match. Yassine Chueko, Messi`s personal bodyguard, has offered to represent the renowned soccer player and Ballon d`Or winner in the boxing ring.
Chueko, known for his martial arts skills, gained online fame for his exceptional speed and reflexes while ensuring Messi`s safety both on and off the soccer field.
In an Instagram video, Chueko addressed Paul directly, stating, “Listen Logan, I`m making this video because many people stop me in the street, message me, and leave comments on Instagram about this fight. The point of no return has been reached, there’s no turning back. Let`s make this fight happen for the fans. Let`s do it.”
The conflict originated when Messi launched his energy drink, Mas+, which Paul claimed had packaging very similar to his own brand, PRIME. Reports indicate that Mas+ and PRIME have now filed lawsuits against each other.
Paul previously stated in a TikTok video, “Brother, you copied us. Everyone noticed it. And then we got sued? That’s not fair. So, naturally, we countersued. If you can`t beat the best, you gotta be the best? But that`s illegal, it`s trademark infringement. We are holding him accountable, and is that harassment?”
Paul lightheartedly suggested he would drop the lawsuit if Messi would agree to a boxing match in 2025. The internet personality last participated in a boxing exhibition in October 2023, winning against Dillon Danis. Now, Messi`s bodyguard is offering to take his place.
“I hope you receive this message,” Chueko posted on Instagram. “And after this, let’s stop the social media back-and-forth.”
