Logan Paul has denied rumors that he will soon return to the boxing ring.
The 29-year-old YouTube sensation and entrepreneur has been garnering praise from fans and fellow wrestlers for his performances in a WWE ring since teaming with The Miz to defeat Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38.
Impressive performances followed afterwards, including matches against top superstars such as Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, but rumors continue to fly about a possible return to the boxing ring.
Paul last fought on Oct. 14, 2023, defeating Dillon Danis by disqualification in Manchester, England. Prior to that, the Ohio-born star faced rival-turned-business partner KSI twice and also competed in an exhibition bout against boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
Speaking to Fred Talks Fighting after his brother Jake's sixth-round stoppage victory over former UFC star Mike Perry at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on July 20, the current WWE United States Champion insisted he is happy fighting for WWE and has no immediate plans to return to the boxing ring.
“You never know. The only time I'll ever get back in the ring is if there's a fight that excites me. I don't have that desire. No, I feel like I did something like Floyd (Mayweather). I need to be inspired by the dance part.
“I'm doing good things in WWE, I'm the United States champion and I'm a lot better at wrestling than I am at boxing.”
