Logan Paul Draws a Bold Parallel Between the Challenges of Boxing and WWE

2 Min Read

Before making a name for himself in professional wrestling, Logan Paul competed in boxing matches against opponents like KSI and Floyd Mayweather Jr. In a recent interview on “ESPN First Take,” Paul discussed which sport he finds more difficult. He explained that while boxing, especially against a champion like Mayweather, is tough, WWE wrestling is far more challenging. Paul emphasized that wrestling demands a comprehensive skill set, requiring him to engage every part of both his mind and body, making it the hardest thing he has ever done.

Logan Paul debuted in WWE at WrestleMania 38 in a tag team match against The Miz and later secured a win over Rey and Dominik Mysterio. In 2023, he marked his one-year WWE anniversary with a high-profile bout at WrestleMania 39 against former champion Seth Rollins. That same year, he also returned to boxing for a fight against UFC fighter Dillon Danis, which he won by disqualification after Danis used an illegal move.

Nearly four years into his wrestling career, Paul has risen to become the top villain (heel) on WWE’s Raw brand, largely thanks to guidance from WWE veteran Paul Heyman.

Fan Take: Logan Paul’s acknowledgment of wrestling’s complexity highlights the physical and mental demands of WWE, elevating the sport’s prestige. His crossover success continues to bring mainstream attention to WWE, potentially attracting new fans and growing the sport’s audience.
