The Logan Paul Tom Brady feud is escalating ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, scheduled for March 21.
What began as playful banter has turned into a public debate about athleticism, crossover sports, and competition. The event, set at Kingdom Arena, will feature past and present NFL stars in a round-robin format.
The exchange began when Logan Paul discussed his athletic credentials on his Impaulsive podcast. Brady responded by questioning whether WWE experience would translate into real football competition.
“I’m actually a little worried for you,” Brady joked, suggesting professional football operates at another level. He emphasised that the upcoming March 21 matchup would be a true test.

Paul also took issue with Brady’s description of WWE as “cute.” He countered by claiming that football is not untouchable either.
According to Paul, many NFL players would struggle in a boxing ring against trained fighters. However, he acknowledged that elite athletes in any sport require specialised skills that do not easily transfer.

“Every sport, at the highest level, takes an insane level of dedication,” he said, adding that switching disciplines would be difficult for either side.
The back-and-forth has fueled anticipation for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, which will include NFL stars such as Saquon Barkley, Justin Jefferson, Christian McCaffrey, Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby, and Rob Gronkowski.
The March 21 showcase blends professional athletes and celebrity participants in a highly publicised competition.
With Brady and Paul set to share the field in Riyadh, fans are eager to see whether the rivalry remains verbal or plays out on the scoreboard. As the event approaches, the debate over athletic crossover continues to capture global attention.
