YouTube sensation Logan Paul has declared his retirement from professional boxing after participating in just two professional fights. Paul’s attention is now fully directed toward his burgeoning career in the WWE, where he recently achieved a milestone by winning his first title against the seasoned Rey Mysterio Jr. in Saudi Arabia.
Paul’s boxing journey began in 2018 with an exhibition match against KSI, his then social media rival, which ended in a draw. The rematch in Los Angeles turned professional, resulting in a close six-round split decision in KSI’s favor. His highest-profile boxing event was an exhibition in 2021 against the legendary Floyd Mayweather, which lasted the full eight rounds without a declared winner.
Despite the potential for crossover boxing fights, such as a bout with Tommy Fury who defeated his brother Jake Paul, Logan has opted to step away from the boxing ring. His recent victory over MMA fighter Dillon Danis marked his second and final sanctioned boxing match.
Paul expressed his contentment with his boxing stint and excitement for his WWE future, stating, “I think I’m retired from boxing. I’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now. No more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler.” He anticipates challenges in WWE, ready to defend his title against any contender.
This transition marks a significant shift in Paul’s career, highlighting his versatility and ambition in the entertainment and sports arenas. As he embarks on this new chapter, his fans and the WWE community eagerly await his next moves in the wrestling world.
