Logan Paul has claimed that he was offered a fight with Mike Tyson before his brother bur rejected the chance to face the boxing legend.
Last week it was announced that Tyson would return to the ring to face Jake Paul in July, in a bout that will be broadcast by Netflix.
It will mark the first time the 57-year-old has stepped into a ring since his exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, as he takes on the crossover star, who’s thirty years his junior.
However, speaking on his podcast Impaulsive, Jake’s brother, Logan told pod regular KSI that he has been offered a fight with Tyson in the past but not for the same payday nor as part of any Netflix deal.
‘I said no to fighting Mike Tyson.’ Logan admitted.

‘I was offered it, but not on Netflix and not for a big a** bag.’
Paul goes on to say that discuss if he could beat the boxing icon, revealing that he’s been asked that question previously and believes he could beat Tyson.
Adding; ‘I’ve been asked, ‘Do you think you could beat Mike Tyson?’ My answer is yes. I just think he’s too old; it’s crazy. He’s senile.’
Tyson wouldn’t have been the first former champion Paul has stepped in the ring with, in 2021 the social media star took on Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition fight that went the distance.
He has also competed in two professional fights, including a win over former MMA fighter Dillon Danis in October last year.
More recently, Logan has been committing more time to being a WWE Superstar and is currently the company’s United States champion, having held the belt since defeating Rey Mysterio at November’s Crown Jewel event.

In fact the only loss of his career so far came against Tommy Fury when the pair faced off last February.
