Logan Paul is turning heads once again, this time by weighing in on what he considers the more grueling sport: professional wrestling or boxing. The YouTuber-turned-wrestler offered his candid take during a recent interview, giving fans an unexpected perspective on both arenas.
WWE vs. Boxing: A Surprising Comparison
During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Paul claimed that stepping into the WWE ring has been far more challenging than facing boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. Reflecting on his high-profile boxing matches, including the bout with Mayweather, he didn’t hold back: “I would definitely have to say WWE is way harder than fighting Floyd Mayweather. I’ve said this before. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done by a mile. Boxing is obviously difficult.”
The Full Demands of Professional Wrestling
Paul explained that WWE tests far more than just physical strength. “Wrestling involves a 360-degree skill set where you have to work every part of your mind and body that I just have not experienced before in a craft,” he said. From performance to in-ring technique, WWE requires athletes to master a mix of stamina, agility, and showmanship that is unmatched in most other sports.
Respect for the Wrestling Craft
The former WWE US Champion’s reflections shed light on why professional wrestling is gaining respect among athletes from other disciplines. His comments underline that success in WWE depends not just on physical endurance but also on mental toughness and resilience, highlighting the unique challenges of the wrestling world.
