After having online beef with Tom Brady and throwing down the challenge to fight any NFL players with $2 million on the line, it appears WWE's Logan Paul won't be stepping back in a boxing ring any time soon.

The Maverick had previously offered to fight any NFL player, with both sides putting $1 million in a third-party account and the winner taking the spoils. Per Paul, he would fly his opponent to Puerto Rico next weekend, expenses covered, where they would compete in front of three professional judges, with 10 oz gloves, no headgear, and go for three-minute rounds until somebody quits. Logan had also thrown out the option of this bout being either a boxing match or an MMA fight.

Former NFL player-turned-pro boxer Le'Veon Bell and former NFL player Breiden Fehoko were two names particularly interested in fighting Logan Paul, but, according to Logan, WWE has put a stop to any such fight happening.

Logan Paul's most recent boxing match was a disqualification win over Dillon Danis for Misfits back in 2023. Prior to that, the Vision man fought an exhibition match against the legendary Floyd Mayweather in 2021 and had two fights with fellow social media star KSI.

In terms of WWE, Logan Paul and the Vision are currently in the crosshairs of the recently-returned Seth Rollins, who attacked Paul at Elimination Chamber last month. Of course, with WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, it remains to be seen what role Logan will have to play at the Showcase of the Immortals, with the 30-year-old a potential 'Mania opponent for Rollins depending on which direction WWE opts to take things.
