Logan Paul has challenged Lionel Messi to a boxing match to settle PRIME energy drink lawsuit.

Social media personality and WWE superstar Logan Paul has challenged Lionel Messi to a boxing match to settle the ongoing lawsuit between their respective energy drink brands, PRIME and Mas+.

The dispute began when Mas+, Messi's energy drink brand, accused PRIME, co-founded by Paul and KSI, of forcing them to make changes to their brand.

What Paul said

Paul has now taken to social media to issue a challenge to Messi, vowing to drop the lawsuit if the Argentine soccer star agrees to face him in the ring.

"Brother, you copied us. Everyone saw it. They saw what you did. Everyone notices it and then we got sued. Hold on, wait, what? This ain't justice," Paul said in a video posted online.

"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? All jokes aside, I will consider dropping this if Logan Paul vs Messi [gets made in] 2025. I'll see you in the ring, brother," Paul added.

The challenge has sparked widespread attention on social media, with many fans and pundits weighing in on the possibility of a boxing match between Paul and Messi.

While it remains to be seen whether Messi will accept the challenge, one thing is certain that the drama surrounding the PRIME and Mas+ lawsuit has just reached a whole new level.
