Lionel Messi's bodyguard boxing WWE superstar Logan Paul. This is 2025, ladies and gentlemen.

Yassine Cheuko, the bodyguard of Inter Miami star Lionel Messi, has made headlines after responding to social media and WWE superstar Logan Paul's challenge to the Argentine icon.

The wild controversy started when Paul, known for his larger-than-life persona, called out Messi for a boxing match amidst his brand's (PRIME Hydration) ongoing legal battle with Messi's brand, Mas+.

Watch: Lionel Messi's bodyguard accepts to box Logan Paul

A fan approached Cheuko at the training gym and asked for his opinion on the situation, with the bodyguard revealing that Messi had no idea who Logan Paul is.

Suggesting that Paul's challenge was misplaced, Cheuko demanded he challenge an actual fighter instead of a soccer player. “Leo doesn't know who this guy is,” Cheuko stated. “If he really wants to fight, he can fight against me instead of a soccer player."

That would actually be nuts to watch. 

Cheuko, an avid amateur boxer and MMA fighter, frequently shares his training and match experiences on social media, showcasing his skills and insane physique.

Someone tell Apple TV to get on this, stat.
