Boxing fans buzz after Jake Paul secured a fight with legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson. But Logan Paul declined Mike Tyson’s fight. According to Logan Paul, the offer first landed in his court.
Logan, Jake’s older brother and fellow social media star, recently claimed he was approached about facing Iron Mike. However, he ultimately decided against it.
“I said no to fighting Mike Tyson,” Logan explained. “He’s just crazy, he’s senile.”
Logan also suggested the fight wasn’t financially attractive and that Tyson’s age concerned him.
For Mike Tyson, this isn’t a comeback for a young champion. “Iron Mike” dominated the heavyweight division in the 80s and early 90s, famously known for his ferocious knockout power. Now 57 years old, Mike Tyson hasn’t fought professionally since 2005.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul seems unfazed by his brother’s reservations. “I have no idea why Logan would say that,” Jake countered. “He’s always been supportive.”
The first-ever live sporting event on Netflix, the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, is scheduled for August 2024 and will be streamed live.
Did Logan Paul dodge a bullet?
Logan’s reasons for rejecting the fight have sparked debate. Was it genuine concern for Tyson’s health, a financial decision, or a bit of brotherly one-upmanship?
More questions remain about Logan Paul declined Mike Tyson fight:
- Did Logan receive a concrete fight offer, or is this a case of sibling rivalry?
- How will this situation impact the hype surrounding Jake Paul’s upcoming fight?
- Have boxing experts weighed in on the potential dangers of a Tyson vs. Paul matchup?
Only time will tell how this plays out, but one thing’s for sure: the Paul brothers know how to keep the boxing world entertained.
