Logan Paul has thrown his hat into the ring to potentially replace Mike Tyson and face his own brother Jake Paul in Texas. Jake’s original fight with the boxing icon was scheduled for July 20, but was postponed to November 15 due to Tyson’s health problems.
During the flight, Tyson experienced a flare-up of his ulcer, which led to his training being interrupted and his return postponed.
In an episode of his podcast with Donald Trump, Logan revealed his willingness to step in: “I was ready to fill in for Mike Tyson when Tyson got diseased and had to postpone his fight,” he revealed. “We actually took it to the next level on Netflix.”
Trump addressed the family situation, noting, “It’s strenuous for brothers to argue,” Logan replied, with the financial incentive in mind: “No to Netflix. Not for huge poop. Think about it once and for all. Me and Jake decided that of course we both came from a place of love and regardless of the outcome, we had to come to terms with it. But of course I love my brother.
Despite the delay in his fight against Tyson, Jake is expected to face former UFC fighter and current brawler Mike Perry soon. Both men have been exchanging comments for some time, which suggests that a final decision is inevitable.
Jake has fought in the ring with former UFC fighters, including Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Ben Askren. His adventure with professional boxing began last year, when he was defeated for the first time by Tommy Fury.
Logan’s boxing career was less successful, with a draw in his first match against KSI and then a loss in the rematch in Los Angeles. He later fought Mayweather in a no-scoring exhibition match before his fight last year with Danis was abruptly stopped in the final round due to a ring security breach.
This isn’t the first time Logan has replaced Tyson after news broke that the fight would have to be postponed. In early June, Logan posted on X regarding the fight, apparently calling out his brother while trying to salvage the long-awaited fight.
“So Mike Tyson is out? I’ll step in and we’ll sort this out for everyone @jakepaul?” – wrote elder Paweł on social media. “Mom doesn’t want me to knock you out, but fuck it. The loser must change his name.”
Even though the two are brothers, both Logan and Jake have had a fierce rivalry over the years. For example, Jake feels as if Logan has snubbed him after he teams up with Jake’s longtime enemy, KSI, to start and promote Prime Energy, a sports drink similar to Gatorade.
While Logan’s offer to Jake may gain more traction among their fans, it doesn’t look like Jake won’t eventually face Logan in the ring. Tyson also made it clear that he was still considering the Jake fight, even though it had been temporarily postponed.
“Overall my body is in better shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be returning to a full training schedule soon,” Tyson said in a statement. “Jake Paul, you may have bought yourself some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and taken out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and look forward to delivering an unforgettable performance later this year.”
