Twitter Erupts as Logan Paul Talks About Fighting Mike Tyson in Boxing Return
After facing Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul seems interested in fighting Mike Tyson inside the boxing ring. It may sound uncanny to several fans since Paul and Tyson come from two very different eras and hold unique positions in the boxing world.
However, the 26-year-old looks optimistic about beating a 54-year-old Mike Tyson in an in-ring scrap. Despite Tyson’s knockout abilities, Paul believes his youth would play a pivotal role. Speaking on the IMPAULSIVE podcast, ‘The Maverick’ landed his bombarding statements and shocked many fans.
Logan Paul said, “Someone mentioned Mike Tyson. My lawyer mentioned it and he’s like, ‘Nah, Tyson will rip your head off, you don’t stand a chance.’ I’m like, ‘I just went through all this.’ You can’t tell me I can’t beat Mike Tyson. He’s old, old.”
These remarks didn’t go well with the traditional boxing fans. Netizens from all over the world expressed their views on Logan Paul and have been disrespectful towards the YouTuber-turned boxer. Here’s a look at a few of them.
