Logan Paul’s Blunt Reply To Mike Tyson’s Challenge After Losing To Jake Paul

The greatly hyped fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is finally over. Unfortunately for everyone rooting for "Iron Mike" to add Paul to his list of knockout victims, Tyson was nowhere close to pulling off that shocking feat.

The 58-year-old Tyson did not even look competitive for most of the fight, as the power and explosiveness that made him the "Baddest Man on the Planet, were simply not there anymore.

Still, Tyson seems to believe it's not time yet to close the door on his fighting career. After the fight, Tyson implied to combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani that he didn't think the Paul fight was the last time people would see him inside the ring as a fighter. Tyson even flirted with the idea of fighting Paul's older brother, Logan Paul

After hearing what Tyson said, Logan, 29, immediately went off on the legendary boxer.

“[Expletive] I’d kill you, Mike,” Logan shouted at Tyson. It didn't appear Tyson took Logan's tirade personally, though, as he simply smiled after that.

Logan has boxing experience, but he appears to be more focused on his WWE career. He fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition fight in Florida in 2021 and also had bouts against KSI and Dillon Danis.

Tyson doesn't have to decide right away whether he should still engage in another fight. But for a fighter his age and someone who came back to the brutal sport of boxing after a long absence, Tyson can take heart from the fact that he avoided getting knocked out by Jake. He finished the fight, albeit in a one-sided affair that resulted in an 80-72, 79-73, 79-73 score.
