Was Logan Paul offered a fight against Mike Tyson?
In a rather shocking revelation, Logan Paul recently claimed that he was offered a fight against Mike Tyson as well. During a recent episode of his podcast, ‘Maverick’ claimed that he declined the offer to fight Tyson because he did not feel like it was worth it fighting a 57-year-old retired fighter.
However, Logan Paul’s claims were brushed off by Jake Paul shortly after. During a live stream with internet personality Adin Ross, ‘The Problem Child’ suggested that his team was the one that offered the fight to Tyson.
Moreover, he claimed that Mike Tyson’s team weren’t looking for fights before they were offered a fight by him. That said, it’s hard to understand why Logan Paul would lie about the situation.
Regardless, there is a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Tyson and it will be interesting to see how it goes when the pair lock horns inside the squared circle.
