    Logan Paul calls out YouTubers for $10,000 wrestling match as fans hit back over his ‘staged videos and pranks’

    LOGAN PAUL has called out influencers on social media as he offered $10,000 (£7,637) to anyone that can beat him in a wrestling match.
    It is unclear whether the 25-year-old wants to take part in an amateur contest or a professional meeting inside the ring.

    $10,000 to any influencer who can beat me in a wrestling match
    — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) August 10, 2020

    Paul – known to be a huge fan of WWE – boasts an impressive amateur background having participated in the sport in high school.
    He even qualified for the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I Individual Championships in 2013.
    Since then he has been involved in two boxing fights – both of them against fellow YouTuber KSI – with their first fight ending in a draw.
    For their rematch, the duo turned professional, with KSI edging out his rival on points.

    And Paul has tweeted he is eager for another fight to happen, only this time in wrestling.
    He tweeted: “$10,000 to any influencer who can beat me in a wrestling match.”
    Fans were quick to poke fun at his challenge, as one quipped: “Isn’t wrestling staged, just like all your videos and pranks?”

    Another said: “Looks like KSI is gonna be $10000 richer.”

    A third added: “Why do I feel like I’m watching The Ladies Man all over again with Logan Paul playing Will Ferrell’s role?”
    Former WWE star Elijah Burke then responded to Paul, as he commented: “I’ll put $15,000 against your $10,000, wrestling OR boxing.”

    From Cristiano Ronaldo’s five naps a day to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s four-hour snooze.. how much sports stars sleep

    BEING one of the most well known sporting icons on the planet is tiring work.
    But rather than sleep all night, Cristiano Ronaldo instead takes FIVE naps a day while Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson snoozes for just four hours to keep himself going.

    17

    Cristiano Ronaldo takes FIVE naps-a-day
    Earlier this month, it emerged Juventus superstar Ronaldo, 35, grabs 40 winks five times each day and sleeps in the foetal position.
    And here SunSport can reveal the different sleep patterns of several other sporting icons from across the globe and how many hours of ‘Zzz’ time they get, according to Online Mattress Review.
    Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – 4 hours

    17

    The WWE icon turned movie star hits the sack for just four hours-a-night.
    At 48, Hawaiian born Johnson clocks off between midnight and is up and about again at 4am.

    Presumably to work out at least 25 times a day to maintain his impressive physique.
    Muhammad Ali – 6.5 hours

    17

    Muhammad Ali was a religious man and slept for 6.5 hours after dinner and prayers

    17

    The greatest boxer of all time put many opponents to sleep in his time and would wind down between 10pm and 4:30am.
    As a devout Muslim, much of his time would be split between prayer and training.
    And his evening routine would include a walk after dinner, a quick wash, prayers and short stint in front of the TV before he dozed off.

    Serena Williams – 7 hours

    17

    17

    Serena Williams clocks up a solid seven hours of sleep after socialising and work
    You do not need hawk eye to tell when Serena is out for the count but we can neither confirm or deny whether her snoring makes a racket.
    The tennis sensation takes a solid seven hour sleep between midnight and 7am each day after a post-dinner routine of socialising and work.
    The 38-year-old former world number one is also a mum of a young daughter so her slumbers are no doubt interrupted by the littl’un every now and then.
    Cristiano Ronaldo – 7.5 hours

    17

    Ronaldo has perhaps the oddest routine of all the big stars.
    Rather than one lump of rest at the end of each day like most of us, Ronnie reportedly prefers to take short naps of an hour-and-a-half each time throughout the day.
    After dinner, he relaxes with his friends before a swim at 10pm.
    He then takes one of his signature naps until midnight and relaxes until another short burst of sleep from around 3am before waking up for the day.
    Ronda Rousey – 8 hours

    17

    MMA star Rousey does not mess around when it comes to getting the right amount of rest

    17

    MMA and WWE star Rousey’s routine seems pretty standard.
    Eight hours between midnight and 8am.
    Nice and simple.
    Tiger Woods – 8.5 hours

    17

    Tiger Woods – perhaps the greatest golfer in history – spends more than a third of his day asleep

    17

    Woods is generally considered the best golfer of all time.
    And to maintain such high levels, the superstar spends eight and a half hours dreaming of sinking putts and splitting fairways.
    He snoozes from 10pm to 6:30am – proving the early birdie really does catch the worm.
    Tom Brady – 9 hours

    17

    Tom Brady is widely considered the best quarter-back ever to play American Football and he does not compromise when it comes to rest

    17

    Like Woods, Brady is considered the greatest ever in his field.
    The former New England Patriots quarter-back is revered in across the world for his sustained and unrivalled talent.
    And the 42-year-old – who is still playing for the Tampa Bay Bucacaneers – makes sure he touches down to sleep for nine hours each day between 8:30pm and 5:30am.

    Stephen Curry – 9 hours

    17

    NBA star Stephen Curry is one of the longest sleepers on the list with a solid nine hours

    17

    Basketball star Stephen Curry is another record breaker who is set to go down in the NBA history books.
    The Golden State Warriors point guard is another who does not take rest lightly – opting to hit the hay for nine hours between 11pm and 8am every day.
