However, the announcement of the upcoming bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has faced criticism, particularly regarding the idea of Paul facing a retired 57-year-old fighter. Even Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul, weighed in, expressing reservations about the matchup and claiming that he had been offered the fight against Tyson but turned it down.
Addressing the discrepancy during a live stream with internet personality Adin Ross, Jake Paul refuted his brother’s assertion, asserting that they were the ones who initiated the deal with Tyson. Paul clarified that they had collaborated with Netflix and pursued other fighters before ultimately securing Tyson’s participation after extensive negotiations.
The conflicting accounts surrounding the fight offer from Tyson to Logan Paul have sparked confusion, yet the bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is expected to draw considerable attention and intrigue from fans.
