The current boxing era is witnessing a huge revolution in terms of exhibition bouts. Over the past few years, many celebrities, YouTubers, retired athletes, and more took up the ring space to fulfill their wish for fighting. On that list, Logan Paul ranks at the top and, for all the reasons in the world, he’s regarded as the face of celebrity bouts.

Paul has a tremendous fan base and everyone wants to face him inside the boxing ring. But, the Icelandic strongman, Hafthor Bjornsson, gave an unusual take on fighting ‘The Maverick’ inside the squared circle.

Speaking on ‘Anything Goes With James English’, Bjornsson said, “I feel like he’s too small for me to fight. You know they’ll be good for my profile. He’s a superstar but I mean if he would call me out, I wouldn’t say no, but I’m not going to call him out.”

A few months back, Paul brought in Bjornsson on his own podcast, wherein he challenged the strongman for a fight. But Bjornsson gave a fiery reply to the YouTuber turned boxer, thus vanquishing his aspirations to fight.

Also, there’s a world of difference in Paul and Bjornsson’s physical stats. That said, a fight between these two might put ‘The Maverick’ in a tough spot because the big man will have an undeniable advantage with his size.

Moreover, Logan Paul is busy chasing boxing legends for his boxing outings. And it doesn’t really seem like he’ll take up a fight against Bjornsson anytime soon.
