Messi’s personal bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, has also become famous over the past 2 years, always accompanying the Argentine star at every match of Inter Miami.
This bodyguard has just officially announced that he is ready to fight on behalf of his client in response to the challenge of boxer and YouTuber Logan Paul, because of a legal dispute over a sports nutritional drink between the two parties.
“Messi is just a soccer player in MLS (American professional soccer league), he is not a boxer, and if Logan really wants to fight, wants to get in the ring because of the lawsuit, he should confront me,” Yassine Chueko expressed in a recent interview.
Previously, Logan Paul stated: “If Messi wants to settle the legal dispute over the copyright of my sports nutrition drink, he should fight me. If he agrees, I will immediately withdraw the lawsuit.”
Messi and Logan Paul both own a sports nutrition drink that is said to have a very similar design. Both parties have filed a lawsuit, claiming that their competitors have copied the logo, shape, and quality of the product. These drinks are currently popular and have become best-selling products in the US and many other places around the world.
The lawsuit between Messi and Logan Paul has not yet reached a final conclusion on which side has copied the other’s copyright. Meanwhile, Logan Paul has shocked everyone by publicly challenging Messi on social media platforms such as YouTube and TikTok.
Yassine Chueko has therefore spoken out to defend his client, declaring that he is ready to replace Messi in the ring with Logan Paul, if the boxer and YouTuber still keeps his challenge.
According to La Nacion (Argentina), Yassine Chueko is a former US Navy SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, this bodyguard is also an expert in mixed martial arts. Therefore, if Logan Paul agrees to fight, it will be a very interesting match.
Thanks to his strong resume of protecting important figures, Yassine Chueko was hired by David Beckham to protect Messi, since the famous player decided to join Inter Miami in July 2023.
Up to now, the amount of money Mr. David Beckham spent to hire Yassine Chueko has been revealed, up to 3 million USD or 3.5 million USD/year, instead of only about 250,000 USD as some sources said, according to Marca (Spain) and The Sun (UK) confirmed.
