Logan Paul, a controversial figure that has as many adjectives as Tony Stark does in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has taken one off his laundry list of epithets. After effectively kickstarting a new subgenre of professional boxing, where a YouTuber joins the sweet science in hopes of glory and, of course money, is now making a significant career shift. The former YouTuber, who ventured into the boxing ring and emerged as a notable presence with four career fights, which includes an exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather Jr., has decided to pivot his focus. Despite a controversial but victorious match against MMA fighter Dillon Dannis last month, Paul is now hanging up his boxing gloves for a different kind of ring.
In a recent interview with Fox Business, Paul candidly revealed his plans to concentrate on becoming a full-time wrestler with WWE, stating, "Yeah, I think I've retired from boxing," and humorously claiming an exaggerated undefeated record in his boxing career.
Paul's decision to leave boxing behind stems from his belief that "there's no more money in boxing. Every company's going broke." This statement reflects his perception of the current state of the boxing industry and suggests a strategic move towards a more financially promising and stable career in wrestling, specifically the WWE, which recently merged with the UFC. Although his entry into the WWE hasn't always gone well with fans, it's difficult if not impossible to deny that his skills as a natural athlete and entertainer have found a suitable platform in the sports entertainment industry.
