Logan Paul has just gotten out of the ring, but he’s already set his sights on his next fight.
Having gone toe-to-toe with Dillon Danis, the influencer-turned-athlete won their highly anticipated boxing bout over the weekend.
Still recovering, Paul then called out Rey Mysterio, as he prepares to get back into wrestling. Take a look below:
The grudge match between Danis and Paul had fans on the edge of their seats on Saturday night (October 14).

In the months leading up to the exhibition bout, the two men had been firing shots at each other over social media.
Things became increasingly hostile, with Danis also posting a series of cruel tweets aimed at Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, and lawsuits later filed over the incident.
However, the men settled their differences over the weekend during the pay-per-view match in Manchester, England.
Though there was a lot of heavy hitting, Paul managed to win the bout in the sixth and final round, with Danis being disqualified.
Moments after his epic win, the 28-year-old was already preparing for his next fight and called out WWE’s Rey Mysterio.
Hitting out at the Mexican wrestling legend, Paul told press: “This is a hobby for me… My true passion, I’m a WWE superstar. … I’m an American boy, and I want that U.S. title. Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once and I’m coming for that U.S. championship.”
Of course, Mysterio didn’t take this lying down.
“Did @loganpaul just call me out? I’m not hard to find homie,” Mysterio posted on X. “Every Friday Night on SmackDown,” he taunted on Twitter.
With Paul set to return to wrestling next month, it’s clear he’s already eager to get back in the game with this smack talk.
In fact, the YouTuber continued to hit out at Danis after their heated bout which ended in chaos.
With Paul winning every round, his 30-year-old rival decided to try and take down the influencer during the final moments.
As things spiralled, Paul tried to throw a hammer fist with security being forced to enter the ring and calm the opponents.
Clearly agitated, Paul later said: “Dillon Danis truly is a coward… forgave Dillon before this fight started.”
He added: “It was the only way to attack this fight without emotion. … But he was calling himself a real fighter?”
With so much build-up between the two men, it’s hardly surprising there’s still a lot for them to fight about.
