Logan Paul has once again stirred the sports world, issuing a $1 million challenge to NFL players, daring them to step into the boxing ring with him, and sparking widespread reactions across social media and locker rooms.
The YouTuber-turned-wrestler is known for bold, headline-grabbing claims, but his latest challenge targeted professional football players, suggesting that even the league’s most physically dominant athletes couldn’t beat him in a fight.
“Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match, that is on God,” Paul said on his Impaulsive podcast.
“A million dollars, you come to the gym, you put up boxing gloves, we see how it goes. There’s levels to this.”
Immediately, several active NFL players quickly responded, signaling interest in taking on Paul if the offer became official, highlighting both their competitive nature and confidence in their physical skills beyond the football field.
Dion Dawkins, Tae Crowder, Brock Hoffman, and Kingsley Suamataia were among the first to indicate willingness to step into the ring, showing that professional athletes are not shying away from cross-sport challenges for both fame and prize money.
Meanwhile, Paul is gearing up to take on Tom Brady in a celebrity flag football showdown, adding another chapter to their emerging rivalry.
The matchup, part charity and part entertainment, will test Paul’s athleticism against Brady’s elite football instincts.
Fans are buzzing online, speculating whether Paul’s speed and agility can compete with Brady’s experience and strategy.
Social media is alight with predictions, memes, and playful arguments, while both stars promise a competitive but fun game.
Paul calls out WWE during Elimination Chamber event
Beyond football, Paul also criticized elements of WWE production, noting safety issues during the Elimination Chamber event, after LA Knight slipped attempting his elbow drop from the middle rope due to slick surfaces.
Paul explained that repeated use throughout the night and branding on the mat can make the ropes and canvas dangerously slippery, emphasizing that performers often have to adjust in real time to avoid injuries during live events.
“Especially when you have the last match of the night,” Paul said. “Because it’s been used and all these oily, sweaty wrestlers are just greasing these ropes up, so by the time it’s 10 p.m., you’re the last group to go, the ropes are soaking wet.”
He also noted that painted sponsor logos in the ring center contribute to slipping hazards, a change in recent years across sports entertainment broadcasts, which he said requires constant attention to footing and placement while performing.
Paul added that his own brand, PRIME, was initially the first to occupy the ring’s center, though newer versions of paint appear more slippery, reinforcing his point that environmental factors can affect in-ring performance for wrestlers and stunt athletes alike.
