On Friday, June 18th, a clip of Logan Paul claiming on his podcast that he would be able to defeat Mike Tyson had resurfaced on the internet. This comes a week following his June 6th fight with Floyd Mayweather, which had an undeclared winner.

26-year-old YouTuber-turned boxer Logan Paul is well known for his adventurous videos, as well as his multiple scandalous feats that included his brother Jake Paul. Joining YouTube in 2013 and starting the Impaulsive podcast in 2018, he then ventured off into boxing in 2019, losing his first match to YouTuber KSI.

Despite having boxed Floyd Mayweather for his second fight ever, Logan has become ballsy when commenting on possible future opponents.

The YouTuber began by expressing his need to box Tyson, while stating that his lawyer was opposed to the idea.

"My lawyer mentioned it and he's like 'No, Tyson will rip your head off. You don't stand a chance.' "

Logan then continued by toying with the idea, given the professional boxer's age.

"You can't tell me I can't beat Mike Tyson. Bro, he's old old."

Prior to that, when asked about a potential bout, Mike Tyson dismissised any intention to fight the Paul brother. Tyson said,

"No, I love those guys."
