The Paul brothers have never been shy about making bold proclamations. However, Logan Paul’s recent message to Mike Tyson raises eyebrows even by their standards. The social media mogul-turned-wrestler took to Instagram to back his younger brother, Jake Paul. He is set to take on the former heavyweight champion on November 15 at AT&T Stadium.
Family loyalty runs deep, and Logan’s brazen prediction of a first-round knockout might seem like typical Paul bravado to many. However, there’s something particularly striking about warning a man who once terrorized the heavyweight division, even if that man is now 58 years old.
“Let’s go, Jake! Mike Tyson, you don’t even know. You’re messing with the Pauls, bruh. Let’s go, Jake. First-round knockout. Yeet!” said Logan Paul via Instagram.
The age factor looms large over this matchup. The 31-year age gap between Jake Paul (27) and Tyson (58) has become a lightning rod for criticism, with many questioning the wisdom of sanctioning such a bout. However, Mike Tyson himself cleared these concerns and revealed that he was ready and training hard for the fight.
Logan’s warning to Tyson, while probably designed to generate buzz, highlights the strange reality of modern combat sports. Here’s a former Vine star essentially trash-talking one of boxing’s most intimidating figures – and somehow, in 2024, it makes perfect sense.

Recently, Wahlberg shared his thoughts on the upcoming Netflix-streamed bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Speaking to Clocked N’ Loaded, he walked the delicate line between friendship and frank assessment as he revealed his connection with Tyson runs deep.
“Look, I’d like to see the old Mike coming out one more time, oner-rounder. I just hope nobody gets hurt… He’s a dear friend. Hopefully he’s going to be be healthy, does the old Mike thing one more time.”
Rather than simply cheerleading for his friend, Wahlberg addressed the elephant in the room: the possibility of seeing vintage ‘Iron Mike‘ one more time. While he hopes for the old Mike Tyson to show up, his caveat about hoping no one gets hurt speaks volumes about the unique nature of this contest.
