Logan Paul left fuming after pawning Anthony Joshua’s $200K ‘bad luck’ chain for a pitiful deal | International Sports News
Logan Paul has sold the Polymarket chain he took from Anthony Joshua after his win over Jake Paul, accepting $30,000 for an item he claimed was worth over $200,000.The chain, which became part of the ongoing tension between the Paul brothers and Joshua, carried through from the post-fight scuffle into WrestleMania 42, before ending up in a Las Vegas pawn shop.
How the chain became part of the story
The sequence started in Miami in December 2025, immediately after Joshua’s win over Jake Paul. As Joshua stood in the ring wearing a Polymarket-branded chain, Logan Paul entered and tried to take it from him, leading to a brief confrontation with Joshua’s team.Speaking to DAZN at the time, Logan explained his actions directly: “It’s a Polymarket chain. Did you see it? Did you see that thing? Like a half-million-dollar chain. You snatched my brother’s jaw. I snatch your chain.”Security initially stepped in, and while the moment went viral as a failed attempt, Logan later ended up with the chain. The piece itself was tied to Polymarket, a crypto-based platform both Paul brothers are financially connected to, and had reportedly been gifted to Joshua.
From the ring to WrestleMania 42
Logan carried the chain into WrestleMania 42, wearing it during his entrance for the opening match.That night did not go to plan. During the match, he turned on IShowSpeed, who had been introduced as part of the segment, only for things to flip quickly as Speed put him through a table in a moment that became one of the standout clips from the show.Logan later tied the outcome of that match to the chain itself.In a video posted to Instagram, he said: “I finally got my hands on the chain Anthony Joshua wore when he beat my brother, then I wore it to WrestleMania this weekend but Speed put me through a table so as far as I’m concerned, this thing is bad luck. Today we’re going to try to pawn it.”
The pawn shop deal in Las Vegas
That led him to a Las Vegas pawn shop run by Rick Harrison, star of the iconic show Pawn Stars, where he attempted to sell the chain.Presenting the item, Logan said: “I have something really special, this is a Polymarket chain that Anthony Joshua wore when he was mean to my brother. I actually wore this out to WrestleMania this weekend as well.”He described it as a 110-carat gold piece and suggested it was worth between $200,000 and $250,000, adding elsewhere that he would be willing to accept between $100,000 and $120,000.Harrison did what he’s known for, cutting straight to the value with his trademark blunt humour and focus on resale potential, calling it a “limited market” and asking, “who wants a chain that says Polymarket on it?” before offering, “I’ll give you 30 grand.”Logan pushed back immediately: “Rick, stop… Bro. It’s a $200,000 chain. I think you could go at least like maybe 100, 120.”Harrison did not move from his position, replying: “You can keep it or you can continue to have bad luck or you can have $30,000 and not have bad luck.” He also noted he would remove the diamonds, which drew another reaction from Logan: “Bro, stop. Rick, don’t lowball me.”
Final decision and sale
Despite the frustration, Logan accepted the deal.“Fine. All right, grab the money. I want you to know I’m not happy about this deal,” he said, completing the sale at $30,000, well below the value he had placed on the chain.The outcome marked a steep drop compared to his previous high-profile memorabilia deal, including a $16.49 million sale of a rare Pokémon card, which he had also turned into a chain and worn at WrestleMania in 2022.
