Logan Paul has decided to hang up his boxing gloves to focus more on professional wrestling. Just a month after beating Dillion Danis in just his second professional bout, the social media megastar told Fox Business that he is done with boxing because it no longer interests him financially.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I’m retired from boxing,\u201d the 28-year-old said.\u00a0\u201cI’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler. Beat Rey Mysterio. Fair and square for the US Championship. It feels great. It was a dominant performance. Some frog splashes, some punches, it feels good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul first entered the boxing ring when he took on KSI in August 2018 in an amateur bout, which was pivotal to the birth of crossover and celebrity boxing. The pair fought again a year later, this time in a professional capacity, which KSI won via split decision.<\/p>\n

The pair then joined forces to start their incredibly successful PRIME drinks business. Paul then entered the world of exhibition boxing when he took on arguably the sport\u2019s greatest Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2021. But the world of WWE is where Paul\u2019s heart seems to be at the moment.<\/p>\n
Less than two years after making his debut with the company, the YouTuber controversially beat the legendary Rey Mysterio to win the United States championship at the Premium Live Event called Crown Jewel. Paul took advantage of brass knuckles brought into play by a member of his entourage to illegally strike the 48-year-old.<\/p>\n
But as the referee did not see the use of the weapon, Paul was able to score a pinfall and win his first championship belt in the WWE.\u00a0This win came after defeating Ricochet with the same weapon at SummerSlam in August before he swiftly left the arena to fly to watch his brother Jake defeat Nate Diaz in Dallas.<\/p>\n
