In a surprising turn of events, Logan Paul, the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer, has made headlines once again, and this time, the news involves none other than Mike Tyson himself.

The older Paul sibling dropped a bombshell revelation: he turned down the opportunity to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson. The twist? His younger brother, Jake Paul, later accepted the same offer.

Logan Paul cites Mike Tyson’s age as the reason to reject the fight

On Saturday, July 20th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Jake Paul will step into the ring with the formidable ‘Iron Mike.’ The event promises to be a spectacle, streamed live on Netflix for all subscribers to witness.

But why did Logan Paul decline the chance to face off against one of the greatest boxers in history? The answer lies in the substantial age difference between himself and 57-year-old Tyson, as Logan candidly explained during a recent episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast.

“I was offered ( Fight with Mike Tyson ) but not for Netflix and not for big a** bag (Money). It was just like this could be real because I was asking for it I am sure you have to, Do you think you could beat Mike Tyson?’ My answer is yes. I just think he’s too old; it’s crazy. He’s senile,” said Logan. [H/T Marca]

Tyson’s storied career boasts an impressive record of 50 wins and 6 losses, including a whopping 44 knockouts victories. For his part, Jake Paul is 9-1 as a pro, coming off a 1st round TKO win over Ryan Bourland on 2nd March in Puerto Rico.

However, the combat sports community is raising eyebrows due to the notable 31-year age difference between the fighters. A recent viral video showing Tyson using a walking stick further fueled apprehensions, hinting at the veteran’s ongoing struggles with sciatica.
