LOGAN PAUL’S boxing return in January is set to be scrapped after he suffered a horror knee injury against WWE champion Roman Reigns.
The YouTube, boxing and pro wrestling star challenged Undisputed Universal champion Reigns in only his third in-ring match.
Despite losing, Paul put on a thrilling performance but paid the price in the form of an agonising injury.
The American revealed he suffered a torn meniscus, medial collateral ligament and potentially anterior cruciate ligament damage.
Paul, 27, posted a picture on his Instagram which revealed he was receiving an X-ray.
It is due to all-but confirm his plans to return to the ring in the new year will be shelved.
Paul was going to return on January 14 on the same card as his former opponent-turned business partner KSI.
He has not boxed since June 2021, when he took ring legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, the distance in their exhibition.
Before that, he drew in a similar bout with KSI, 29, before losing their rematch a year later.
But for the past year, Paul’s efforts have been focussed in the WWE which culminated in a title match with Reigns.

Even his brother Jake, a 6-0 boxer, got involved as he attacked Jimmy and Jay Usos, but could not help Logan to victory.
Afterwards, Jake, 25, said: “I just wish I was out there sooner to help Logan.
âBut I mean, Roman Reigns is dope. Heâs cool, heâs a great fighter.
“But at the end of the day, if we do this for a little bit longer, the Paul brothers will be the WWE champions.â
