At the age of 58, Mike Tyson failed to deliver on the biggest of stages. Iron Mike lost in a marquee fight against Jake Paul via unanimous decision. Despite visibly struggling throughout those eight rounds, Tyson believes he still has more in him.
Following the fight, Ariel Helwani asked Tyson who he’d like to face next. The boxer pointed at Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, who was also in the ring. Logan was taken aback by the callout, as he joked he would kill Tyson if they ever faced each other.
A decade ago, this would’ve looked ridiculous considering Tyson is undoubtedly one of the greatest boxers to have ever lived. However, after last night’s display, Logan beating Tyson in a boxing fight is an actual possibility. Motherfu**er I’ll kill you, Mike.

Previously, Paul stated that he considered himself retired from boxing after defeating Dillon Danis on the PRIME card last year. Also, Paul has gone toe-to-toe with another legendary boxer in the form of Floyd Mayweather, which ended in a draw.
I already didn’t like the fact they named @LoganPaul as one of the “most influential people in wrestling” over LEGENDS like Shawn MichaelsBut seeing Mike playfully challenge him and he says this? Someone PLEASE get 1 of these boys against @francis_ngannou who’s a NEW boxer 🤓 pic. twitter.
