Mike Tyson previously sent a menacing threat to Logan Paul with the YouTube star potentially replacing him to fight his brother Jake Paul.

The boxing icon discussed taking on the elder Paul in 2023 but instead of sharing the squared circle with the 30-year-old, which Tyson agreed to, he suggested clashing with him in a WWE ring where Paul reigns as the wrestling organisation's United States champion.

"I would do it!" Tyson told Forbes of a potential bout with the elder Paul brother in the boxing ring, before admitting he would do it for free. "I would kick his f***ing a**, yes I would do it.

"Even though I love him, though. This is what I found out about WrestleMania: Everybody says, ‘That’s fake, that’s fake.’ But the check is real. Deep down inside, don’t let them know, I would do this for free."

While fans never got to see a boxing or wrestling clash between the two individuals, the 'Impaulsive' host may have capitalised on Tyson pulling out of his July 20 bout against Paul after sensationally offering to fight his younger brother.

The former heavyweight world champion was scheduled to take on the 27-year-old at AT&T Stadium in Dallas but the fight was axed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles where he experienced nausea and dizziness.

Taking to X/ Twitter on Saturday (June 1) Logan cheekily posted: "So Mike Tyson's out? I'll step in and we can settle this once and for all" which has since been seen 4.3million times on the social media platform and prompted a reply from Jake who responded with a forfeit: "Mom doesn’t want me to KO you but f*** it. Loser has to change their last name".

It remains to be seen whether Logan's offer was serious but tensions between the brothers have been on show in recent times with Jake displaying his annoyance when Logan claimed he turned down the opportunity to fight Tyson before MVP founder clinched a deal to fight the 57-year-old.
