Mike Tyson claims Jake Paul would upset professional boxers in fights Flickr: birzer\/Instagram: Jake PaulBoxing legend \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson has doubled down on his support for Logan and Jake Paul\u2019s involvement with the sport, claiming no one has ever brought the same amount of eyes as they have. The Paul brothers first used the arena of boxing to settle their scores with fellow content creators, however, they\u2019ve both since far surpassed that point. In the case of Logan, he\u2019s stepped between the ropes with Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather and lived to tell the tale, while his brother Jake has racked up 5-0 record taking down MMA stars like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. While some fighters and pundits are against their involvement, the pair have always had the backing of the \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson. The former pound-for-pound king has lauded the Paul\u2019s abilities both inside and out of the ring before, and he never backs away from praising them. The Heavyweight boxing icon appeared on Shannon Sharpe\u2019s Club Shay Shay podcast, touching on his return to boxing and how the Paul\u2019s have helped the sport in a big way. \u201cWe started a genre and now we\u2019ve got guys like Logan Paul doing this stuff. I think Logan Paul is a big shot in the arm for boxing. No boxer has ever brought that many people to the network like Logan Paul did and I think he\u2019s good for boxing, he brings money to boxing,\u201d Tyson said, though he referred to the accomplishments of Logan\u2019s brother, Jake, and talked about the next moves for him. \u201cI think he should too [fight a boxer], but these guys are very emotional and they want him to fight him so bad they forget that he\u2019s a trained fighter,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe\u2019s going to make them believe that they can really beat this guy because he\u2019s white with blonde hair and blue eyes, and then they go in the ring and something different happens.\u201d Timestamp of 13:50 Tyson also noted that some fighters are still \u201csleeping\u201d on the abilities that the YouTubers have, and that might be why some of them don\u2019t want to fight. It\u2019s not the first, and likely isn\u2019t the last, time that Tyson has praised the pair, but when it comes to fighting them himself, it\u2019s unlikely to ever happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
