What started as a legal dispute over energy drinks has now turned into a full-fledged challenge to a fight.

In a bizarre yet highly entertaining twist, Lionel Messi’s personal bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, has stepped forward to challenge Logan Paul in response to the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s recent callout of the football legend.

The drama began with a legal battle between Messi’s hydration brand, Mas+, and Paul’s popular PRIME drink, co-founded with fellow YouTuber KSI.

Mas+ filed a lawsuit against PRIME, accusing them of anti-competitive behavior and pressuring retailers to alter Mas+’s branding. Paul, never one to back down from a public spat, fired back with his own lawsuit, claiming Mas+ copied PRIME’s design.

But things took an unexpected turn when Paul, rather than settling things in court, decided to escalate the feud in the only way he knows how—by proposing a boxing match. In a social media video, Paul taunted Messi, saying, “Brother, you copied us.

Everyone saw it. I’ll consider dropping this if Messi steps into the ring with me in 2025.” It was the kind of outrageous challenge Paul is known for, but this time, he didn’t get the response he expected.

Messi, as one of the most reserved figures in sports, predictably ignored Paul’s antics. But his personal bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, did not.

Cheuko, a former Navy SEAL and expert in Muay Thai, quickly made it clear that if Paul was looking for a fight, he could get one—just not with Messi.

In a video filmed at his training facility, Cheuko dismissed Paul’s challenge to Messi and instead issued one of his own. “Messi doesn’t even know who this guy is,” he said. “If Logan really wants a fight, he can fight me.”

The video then cut to clips of Cheuko training, showcasing his martial arts skills and making it abundantly clear that he’s more than prepared for a showdown.

For those unfamiliar with Cheuko, he’s not just any bodyguard. He has been personally assigned to Messi since the football star’s move to Inter Miami in 2023, leading a specialized security team of 50 people to protect the World Cup-winning icon.

He has been seen following Messi closely on and off the pitch, even famously sprinting across the field to stop a fan from getting too close during a match.

His combat skills, combined with his military background, make him a formidable opponent—possibly more dangerous than any influencer-turned-boxer Paul has faced before.

Meanwhile, Logan Paul, who has been involved in the boxing world since his first fight with KSI in 2018, has yet to respond to Cheuko’s counter-challenge.

Paul has fought the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and competed in the WWE, but taking on a trained martial artist with a military background would be a different kind of fight altogether.

As the situation unfolds, fans are now left wondering: will Paul take the challenge and face Cheuko in the ring? Or will this all remain a social media spectacle, with neither side actually stepping up?

Given Paul’s history, he might see this as the perfect opportunity to hype up another pay-per-view event.

At the same time, the legal battle between Mas+ and PRIME continues, with both sides standing firm on their claims.

Whether this fight happens or not, the feud has already become one of the most bizarre crossovers between sports, business, and social media drama in recent history.

With Messi remaining silent, Cheuko stepping in, and Paul being called out in a way he likely never expected, this saga is far from over. The only question is—will Logan Paul actually show up?
