Personal bodyguard determined to protect Messi's honor

"The seemingly simple legal dispute over an energy drink between Messi and Logan Paul has now taken on new developments. In it, the two sides could defend their honor with a mixed martial arts or wrestling-style match," Marca said.

Accordingly, the person ready to replace Messi in the ring is the Argentine player's personal bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko. He declared that he was determined to protect his client's honor and accepted a bet of up to 15 million USD, Marca added, on May 11.

Yassine Cheuko has been constantly provoking Logan Paul recently, after the famous American boxer and YouTuber suddenly refused to fight. Logan Paul said that, as a wrestler in the WWE tournament, he could not fight Yassine Cheuko in the mixed martial arts (MMA) format.

"Listen Logan Paul, you are the one who challenged and had many insulting words towards Messi, a person who is just a football player. When you challenged, you did not say you were just a wrestler. I am a wrestler, I am ready to replace Messi in the ring, that is fair.

"Accept the fight. Who can say no to $15 million for a fight like that? Sign the contract and let's go to the ring and show the audience a real fight," Yassine Cheuko posted the latest challenge in a clip on his personal Instagram page.

Tense war of words

In response, Logan Paul challenged Yassine Cheuko to Puerto Rico, a fistfight that required no mouthguard, as is the official format of mixed martial arts or wrestling matches. However, Messi's personal bodyguard dismissed the street-style challenge.

"Logan Paul, you know we can't fight like that. This is how you just run away with a real challenge from real fighters," Yassine Cheuko replied.

According to Marca : "The continuous exchange between Yassine Cheuko and Logan Paul is causing a stir on social networks, as many people are waiting for both to agree in a proper and extremely interesting match.

An organization is ready to organize a match worth up to 15 million USD. If it happens, it is unprecedented, but in America, anything is possible, especially from the public's curiosity with a unique match in the ring."
