Logan Paul isn’t worried about potentially facing off against Mike Tyson in the ring.
Directly after Tyson faced off against Logan’s younger brother, Jake, Mike flirted with the idea of hopping into the ring with the elder Paul brother. While giving a post match interview, Tyson suggested Logan would be next — prompting him to incredulously respond with “What? I’d kill you Mike.”
Logan’s comments came after what many deemed an underwhelming match between Jake and Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday (Nov. 16.) The two traded blows for the full eight rounds, culminating in Paul winning by unanimous decision.
One of the most interesting moments of the fight — aside from Paul making his way to the ring in a Low Rider — was when announcers wondered whether Tyson was biting on his gloves or adjusting a mouthpiece. After the fight ended, Tyson explained that he has a “biting fixation.”
Tyson and Paul’s fight finally happened after it was pushed back earlier this year. The reason for the reschedule was because of Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up during a flight.
Ahead of the match, the two had some wild moments. Back in May at a joint press conference, Paul attempting to belittle Tyson by saying he wanted to “kiss Mike’s big juicy lips” prompted an even wilder response that took things much further.
"He wanted to kiss me?" he asked. "That's so ironic that he said that because I saw pictures of him dancing at 16, doing that little dance on YouTube, and for some reason I had an erection."
Prior to the fight at a weigh-in conference a few days ago, Tyson slapped the ever-loving Jesus out of Paul in a shocking move that stunned the audience. In a later interview with The New York Times, Tyson explained his reason for doing so. "He stepped on my toe because he is a fucking asshole. I wanted to think it happened by accident,” Tyson explained. “But now I think it may have happened on purpose. I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate."
