Logan Paul’s best friend calls him out for disrespectful challenge to Mike Tyson
Logan Paul has spoken on Mike Tyson calling him out after he was defeated by his younger brother Jake last month, with the YouTuber and WWE star regretting his words after re-watching
Logan Paul has been told that he went too far with his words to Mike Tyson after his brother defeating him in their matchup last month.
Logan had entered with Jake as he made his way to the ring in their fight on Netflix in November, with Jake going on to comfortably defeat the legendary heavyweight in a much-maligned bout, with a 31-year age discrepancy between them.
After the fight, Tyson stated that he was unsure on whether he’d step in the ring again, firstly admitting that he felt he would be interested in another bout before calling out Logan.
The microphone was then handed to the elder Paul brother when asked about a potential fight between them, before he said: “M———–, I’ll kill you Mike.”
On their Impaulsive podcast this week, Mike Majlak told Paul: “You always find a way to —- —- up. Everyone was so… Mike Tyson on that night became the greatest human. He surpassed Trump. Everyone was obsessed with him. His speech was all I just wanted to do something for my kids’ – like, he was the sweetest, man. Then he makes one little sneaky thing towards you? I think he was just folling with you!”
Paul then admitted that he regretted some of the words he used. He stated: “I really do think I would kill him. I love uncle Mike, I don’t wanna fight him but if I did, bro I would kill you… I shouldn’t have said m———– though.”
He then went on to add: “Dude, I cannot believe the amount of people who thought Mike Tyson would win that fight. That just wasn’t Jake’s destiny, it just wasn’t.”
Logan himself has continued to bring up the potential of him returning to the boxing ring, despite having just two fights in the last four years – a win over Dillon Danis while having an exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Paul is contracted to the WWE, performing as a part-time superstar and being the former United States champion.
Days after Tyson called out Logan though, he went back on his words and admitted that he now will not consider fighting again. In an emotional post on social media, Tyson wrote: “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
“To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”
