Things are heating up between Logan Paul and Lionel Messi, and it’s not just about energy drinks—it might end up in the boxing ring! The Inter Miami icon’s bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, is throwing his hat in to defend the soccer legend’s honor, and I’m already grabbing the popcorn for this wild ride.
It all kicked off when Messi dropped his Mas+ energy drink, and Logan Paul cried foul, saying the packaging was a dead ringer for his PRIME brand. Now, according to Goal, both sides are slinging lawsuits at each other like it’s a courtroom cage match. “Brother, you copied us,” Paul fired off in a TikTok video. “Everyone saw it. They saw what you did, everyone notices it, and then we got sued. Hold on, wait, what? This ain’t justice. So we countersued, obviously. If you can’t beat the best, you gotta be the best. But that’s illegal, that’s trademark infringement. We’re holding him accountable, and it’s harassment?” Logan’s out here playing the victim card, but he’s got a smirk while doing it.
Then, in a classic Logan move, he tossed out a half-joking challenge: drop the lawsuit if Messi steps into the ring with him in 2025. The YouTube-turned-boxer last danced around in an exhibition against Dillon Danis in October 2023—a weird win, but a win nonetheless. Enter Chueko, Messi’s bodyguard and a martial arts badass who’s gone viral for his lightning-fast reflexes while shadowing the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner on and off the pitch. “Listen Logan, I’m doing this video because a lot of people they stop me in the streets, they send me message, I get a lot of comments on Instagram about this fight,” Chueko said in an Instagram clip. “So now the reverse is broken, there’s no way out. Let’s do the fight for the people. Let’s do it.” Oh, he’s ready to throw down!
Chueko’s not messing around either, capping it off with, “I hope you get this message. And after this, we stop talking on social media.”
This energy drink showdown’s spiraling into something straight out of a Hollywood script—lawsuits flying, trash talk brewing, and now a bodyguard ready to swap sidelines for squared circles. Logan Paul’s got the bravado, Messi’s got the brand, and Chueko’s got the fists to back it up. Whether it’s settled in court or under the lights, one thing’s clear: this beef’s got more fizz than Mas+ and PRIME combined. 2025 might just deliver the crossover chaos we never knew we needed.
