Fight incoming? Logan Paul challenges Leo Messi to a boxing match over plagiarism lawsuit

Logan Paul has issued an unusual challenge to Lionel Messi, proposing a boxing match instead of a legal battle over alleged plagiarism. The YouTuber-turned-boxer posted a TikTok video accusing Messi’s energy drink company, Mas+, of copying his PRIME brand.

According to PRIME, Mas+ violated their trademark rights by replicating the design of their bottles. Paul was particularly outraged that Messi’s company was the one to file a lawsuit against him, accusing PRIME of plagiarism.

“Brother, you copied us. Everyone saw it. They saw what you did. Everyone notices it and then we got sued. Hold on, wait, what? This ain't justice. So we countersued, obviously. If you can't beat the best, you gotta be the best. But that's illegal. That's trademark infringement,” Paul stated.

He then took it a step further, challenging Messi to settle the dispute in the boxing ring, promising to drop the lawsuit if the Argentine star agreed to the fight.

As of now, there has been no response from Messi regarding Paul’s challenge.
