Logan Paul is ready to fight Lionel Messi`s bodyguard, but only under his conditions.
Recently, Yassine Chueko, Messi`s bodyguard, posted a video on Instagram challenging Paul to a fight. Paul, a WWE star, responded on his YouTube channel on Wednesday night.
Paul stated, “Tell him to wait his turn. He`s an MMA fighter who thinks he can box and believes he deserves attention simply because he is Messi`s bodyguard.”
He added, “I`ve offered to fly people out before, and he doesn`t even deserve that.”
There`s some history between the two as Messi`s drink brand, Más+, has filed a lawsuit against Paul`s drink brand, PRIME, for “anti-competitive” behavior, which PRIME has countered with a lawsuit of their own.
While the legal battle is ongoing, Paul mentioned that if Chueko really wants to fight, he can easily find him in Puerto Rico, but there are stakes involved.
Paul said, “I`m here in Puerto Rico, if you want to come to Puerto Rico, you`re welcome. When I defeat you – and it`s `when`, not `if` – you must drink PRIME. You have to drink PRIME.”
Paul concluded, “I would actually feel bad for Messi because he`s likely to lose this lawsuit, and possibly his bodyguard too. Why would you hire a bodyguard who gets defeated by a YouTuber? Messi is losing everything – except the World Cup. Respect.”
