Logan Paul makes emotions clear on future with determination on boxing profession

“I think I’m retired from boxing,” the 28-year-old stated. “I’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now.

“No more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler. Beat Rey Mysterio. Fair and square for the US Championship. It feels great. It was a dominant performance. Some frog splashes, some punches, it feels good.”

Paul first entered the boxing ring when he took on KSI in August 2018 in an newbie bout, which was pivotal to the start of crossover and celeb boxing. The pair fought once more a 12 months later, this time in knowledgeable capability, which KSI received by way of cut up determination.

The pair then joined forces to start out their extremely profitable PRIME drinks enterprise. Paul then entered the world of exhibition boxing when he took on arguably the game’s best Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2021. But the world of WWE is the place Paul’s coronary heart appears to be for the time being.

Less than two years after making his debut with the corporate, the YouTuber controversially beat the legendary Rey Mysterio to win the United States championship on the Premium Live Event referred to as Crown Jewel. Paul took benefit of brass knuckles introduced into play by a member of his entourage to illegally strike the 48-year-old.

Mysterio made it clear this previous Friday on SmackDown that he needed a championship rematch with Paul, earlier than he had his knee shattered by LWO group member Santos Escobar in a stunning act of betrayal. Along with Mysterio, there are many superstars who would like to problem Paul for his championship and he is able to take them on.

“I have to defend this belt. There are going to be people coming after me,” Paul added. “Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes. Whoever wants it, they can come get it. Mr. Bad Bunny. Whoever wants it can come get it. I have stuff to do in WWE.”
