LOGAN PAUL has offered Lionel Messi the chance to face him in the boxing ring - and settle their long-running dispute.
The Maverick has accused Messi of "copying" him after the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner released his Mas+ energy drink.
Paul launched PRIME in 2022 alongside his long-term influencer rival KSI.
The popular drink took the world by storm, with early packs selling for ten times the RRP as the company struggled to cope with demand.
Messi, 37, has since released Mas+, with the two companies going into a legal stand-off over their packaging and trademarks.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 29, has now suggested an alternative to wrangling in the courts - a showdown in the ring.
Addressing World Cup winner Messi in a recent video, Paul said: "Brother, you copied us. Everyone saw it.
"They saw what you did. Everyone noticed 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. We’re holding him accountable, and it’s harassment?
"All jokes aside, I will consider dropping this if Logan Paul vs Messi [gets made in] 2025. I’ll see you in the ring, brother."
Messi's brand fired the first legal shots by suing PRIME last October.
They accused Logan's company of "anti-competitive" behaviour, alleging in writing that PRIME had tried to pressure them into changing their packaging.
PRIME countersued a month later, accusing Messi’s brand of copying their trademarked design.
Logan is no stranger to the squared circle and faced off with pound-for-pound legend Floyd Mayweather in 2021.
He was linked to a megafight with MMA star Conor McGregor before the UFC backed away from the contest last year.
Logan has also become a star in the world of WWE, appearing in the ring at Wrestlemania 40.
Messi, who currently plays in the MLS for Inter Miami, has yet to respond to Paul's offer.
He is preparing for the new season, with Miami's first competitive match of 2025 against Sporting Kansas City on Tuesday.
Messi is reportedly wary of playing in the game, with record-low temperatures forecasted and the match in doubt.
