Logan Paul names WWE Superstar who was harder to fight than Floyd Mayweather
Watch Gill vs. Barrett live April 13 on DAZN
Logan Paul has stepped into the ring with some major names since transitioning into boxing and WWE and has named the hardest fight of his career so far—and it's not multi-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather.
Paul went toe-to-toe with the boxing legend in an exhibition fight in 2021, but has named WWE Superstar Kevin Owens as a harder opponent than anyone else that he's stepped into the ring with.
Speaking to ESPN following his successful defence of the United States Championship at WrestleMania at the weekend, where he defeated both Owens and Randy Orton, Paul admitted just how tough facing the Prizefighter is and the pressure to perform in WWE.
He said: “I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but fighting Kevin Owens was harder than fighting Floyd Mayweather. Let me tell you something, wrestling is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
“There is no industry that requires the amount of skill sets all in one like the WWE. When you’re boxing, I’m worried about one guy across from me. When I’m wrestling I’m worried about 60,000 people in the arena getting their money’s worth. I take that very seriously.”
