Is Mike Tyson vs. Logan Paul boxing fight next? Tyson calls out WWE star following loss against brother Jake Paul
Mike Tyson may not have impressed in his first pro fight since 2005 against Jake Paul, but perhaps “Iron Mike” could try his luck against the other Paul brother.
Tyson lost against Paul via unanimous decision in a packed AT&T Stadium. The fight was on Netflix, the streaming platform’s first live boxing event. There were issues with the stream and Tyson’s ability to fight, as the 58-year-old looked slow against the 27-year-old.
Paul landed 78 of 278 shots (28%), while Tyson landed 18 of 97 (18%), the latter losing his third straight fight and first in over 7,000 days.
Following the fight, Tyson told Ariel Helwani it may not have been a one-and-done deal for him in the ring despite the reactions of fight fans and celebrities. Tyson teased fighting Paul’s brother, Logan.
A bewildered Logan took a second to process what was said.
“M—–f—–, I’d kill you, Mike,” Logan said to Tyson’s face.
Logan has appeared in a boxing ring before. He started the influencer boxing craze by competing in an amateur fight in 2016 against KSI. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing gave them a chance, and KSI beat him in a rematch, this time at the pro level.
“The Maverick” then faced Floyd Mayweather in 2021 in a fight known for Jake stealing Mayweather’s hat. A former WWE champion, Paul last fought in 2023, beating MMA fighter Dillon Danis via DQ.
It is currently unknown if the fight will actually take place. Paul signed a long-term deal with WWE and has shown no signs of returning to boxing. Will Tyson still be interested in fighting if he has to wait a few months to heal?
If the right price was on the table, anything is possible.
“I actually think I would kill him,” Paul went on to say after the event.
