Logan Paul teased he could be part of a family affair by serving as a replacement for Mike Tyson in his now-postponed fight against Paul’s younger brother.
Jake Paul, 27, was slated to tangle with Tyson, 57, before MVP Promotions announced the postponement of the fight due to the latter’s health concerns. Tyson had a medical emergency due to an ulcer flare up toward the end of a cross-country flight on Sunday.
The bout was scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas, and was to be livestreamed on Netflix.
“So Mike Tyson’s out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all,” Logan posted on X, formerly Twitter, along with a photo of the brothers in their younger days.
Jake Paul was quick with a response to his older brother.
“Mom doesn’t want me to KO you but (so be) it,” he wrote on social media late Friday. “Loser has to change their last name #PaulVsPaul.”
Jake Paul sports a 9-1 record with six knockouts in his career.
Logan Paul, 29, currently is the United States champion in the WWE. He battled to a draw with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and defeated Dillon Danis in separate bouts.
