The tensions arise from a dispute that Paul had with Messi, claiming that the Barcelona Star’s energy drink Mas+, launched in 2024, infringed on his Prime energy drink, co-founded by fellow YouTube sensation KSI.

This led to the YouTube Stars turned boxer/ WWE wrestler to call out the Argentina international for a boxing match.

The controversy went underwater for a while but has now resurfaced with Cheuko who offering to step in for Messi.

In a recent Instagram video, Cheuko said, “Listen, Logan I am doing this video because a lot of people stop me on the street they send me message. I get a lot of comments on Instagram about this fight so now the reverse is broken there is no way out. So let’s do the fight for the people. Let’s do it.”

However, as per Essentially Sports, the YouTuber-turned-boxer was ready with a comeback and said, “bro thought he cooked.”

Cheuko who is reportedly an ex-Navy Seal with a background in Combat Sports has fueled the speculation of potential bout urging Paul to take up the challenge.

Paul himself has career in boxing having fought the likes of his now business partner, KSI and boxing great Floyd Mayweather.

He also has a background in wrestling and sometimes makes appearances for wrestling company, WWE.
