Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul have been experiencing plenty of success in recent times. While Logan is the current United States Champion in WWE, Jake is building a successful boxing career for himself. After facing some top UFC names, The Problem Child is now set to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson.

The fight between the two will take place on July 20, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Texas. While this contest between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has excited many combat sports fans, Logan Paul was originally offered the opportunity to face the former Heavyweight Champion. However, he rejected the offer. During a recent episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, The Maverick revealed that he refused to fight Mike Tyson due to their age difference.

When asked if he could beat the legendary boxer, the United States Champion confidently said yes and believed that age would be the crucial factor.
