The rumor mill has been rife with whispers of a potential fight between Logan Paul and Mike Tyson. Paul, while in conversation with the media, recently opened up about his chances against an aged fighter in Tyson. He opined that he could very well knock the former heavyweight kingpin out.

Logan Paul confidently cited the difference between their ages as the biggest reason behind why he could beat Mike Tyson. He subsequently went on to draw parallels between his potential fight with 'Iron Mike' and his last fight against Floyd Mayweather.

"I'm telling you, I would f***ing beat Mike Tyson. If people would watch that fight, then yeah, I do. He's too old. He's too old. We saw it with Floyd dude. There's no f***ing reason that I should've been able to last, not just last, Floyd's on my highlight reel. There's no reason that should've been possible. He's aged. Father time takes a toll on everyone. And Tyson's what 56? Like what happens? I go in there and knock him out. For what?" exclaimed Logan Paul.

“Well, that’s the money fight. Those are the fights that make the money. Those guys have 75 million people watching them. Hell yeah. They would, that would be a lot of money,” he said.

Mike Tyson further revealed that he would prefer to fight Logan Paul after having watched his performance against Floyd Mayweather. Planning a return to the ring in early 2022, Tyson could very well find himself inside the ring against the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
