"Controversial Claim: Logan Paul Labels Mike Tyson as 'Too Old and Senile
Boxing fans worldwide are gearing up for what promises to be an electrifying clash between YouTube sensation Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on July 29 in Texas. The bout, streamed on Netflix, marks Tyson's return to action since his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020.
In a recent twist to the pre-match drama, Jake's brother Logan Paul dropped a bombshell revelation on his Impaulsive podcast. Logan claimed that he was initially offered the opportunity to face Tyson but turned it down, citing differences in terms compared to what Jake was offered.
Logan's revelation stirred controversy, with him asserting that he believes he could defeat Tyson due to the latter's age, stating, "I just think he’s too old, it’s crazy. He’s senile."
However, Jake Paul swiftly denied his brother's claims, stating that it was their initiative to bring the deal to Mike Tyson, thus questioning Logan's motives behind his statement.
The bout, organized by Jake's company, Most Valuable Promotions, in collaboration with Netflix, raises questions about whether it will be an actual professional fight or another exhibition match, particularly given Tyson's age. Approvals from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation are pending, as Tyson will be 58 years old by July.
Jake Paul, known for his foray into professional boxing four years ago, boasts an impressive record of 10 wins, including six knockouts, with his sole defeat coming last year to Tommy Fury, the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Meanwhile, Mike Tyson, the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, retired in 2005 after a career featuring 50 wins, 40 by knockout.
As anticipation builds for the showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, fans eagerly await further developments in the lead-up to what promises to be a spectacle in the world of boxing.
