Mike Tyson was searching for his next opponent ever since his comeback fight. Since November 2020, the last time Tyson fought, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ kept training in hopes of landing another fight. Well, it looks like he may now fight the YouTuber turned boxer, Logan Paul.
Tyson publicly called out both the Paul brothers, saying he would fight either of them because he would get a big payday. On his podcast, ‘Iron’ Mike said, “That’s the money fight. Those are the fights that make the money. Those guys got 75 million people watching them. Yeah, hell yeah.”
