Logan Paul explains his biggest issue with fighting Mike Tyson Instagram\/miketyson\/loganpaulYouTuber Logan Paul is rumored to be facing off against boxing legend Mike Tyson in February, but the influencer may not be so keen on battling Iron Mike after all. Logan, along with brother Jake, have taken the boxing world by storm in the past couple of years, going from fighting other celebrities to duking it out with UFC champions, and combat sports icons such as Floyd Mayweather. Now, fresh off going the distance against Mayweather in an exhibition bout, Logan Paul is reportedly taking on Mike Tyson in February \u2013 a fight that neither boxer has confirmed as of yet. While Tyson himself has said \u201canything is possible\u201d when asked about the rumors, Logan seemed to be on the fence about if he would even want to step into the ring against the former champ. View this post on Instagram Logan Paul responds to Mike Tyson boxing rumors In an interview with Behind The Gloves\u2019 Michelle Joy Phelps, The Maverick said that while he\u2019s love to be fighting Mike Tyson, doing so would be \u201chard,\u201d just not in the ways one might expect. \u201cIt\u2019s a legacy thing and I think I\u2019d beat him, I really do,\u201d Paul said. \u201cA lot of people laugh, but I\u2019d f**king beat him. He\u2019s just too old.\u201d According to Logan, Iron Mike\u2019s age is what worries him and makes a potential victory mean a lot less than if Tyson was still a young man in his prime. \u201cAt the same time if you beat up Mike Tyson, a living legend, the narrative is you beat up an old man,\u201d Paul explained. So far, rumors of the fight are just that and nothing has been confirmed just yet. With Jake Paul squaring off against Tommy Fury in December, it\u2019s possible we get a reveal for a possible Tyson bout sometime after. That is, of course, if Logan goes ahead with it and could put his reservations over fighting an \u201cold man\u201d behind him. We\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
