Mike Tyson is rumored to face Logan Paul in a potential fight in early 2022. Following an entertaining comeback bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, ‘Iron’ Mike vowed to embrace such exhibitions in the future. While he grabbed call-outs from Evander Holyfield, Shannon Briggs, and many others, the heavyweight icon didn’t pick any one of them.
The idea seemed to fade away after a few months until Logan Paul popped onto the scene. ‘The Maverick’ shocked several people by walking out unbeaten against Floyd Mayweather in their exhibition clash in June. It set the stage for him to demand such fights against other veterans and Mike Tyson appeared to be the right name.
Meanwhile, Joe Rogan and Snoop Dogg didn’t see Tyson stopping after possibly facing Logan Paul. The rapper pitched some ideas that can allure several fans during his interaction with Rogan on his podcast.

Snoop Dogg said, “We will see, when he whoop Logan [Paul]. It’s all a domino affect, Now go get your little brother [Jake Paul]”
Unlike Logan Paul, his younger brother Jake Paul isn’t interested in exhibition matchups. He even denied facing ‘TBE’ Floyd Mayweather if it’s not under a professional rule set. The 4-0 boxer wants to become a world champion someday and for that, he has claimed to avoid lucrative exhibitions that won’t do any benefit in his pro-boxing record. So, Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson may never happen, even though Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson is a possibility.

Can Mike Tyson still trouble the Paul brothers?
55-year-old Mike Tyson is nowhere close to being what he used to be back in his prime. Besides, we saw what age can do to a boxer, especially when Evander Holyfield returned against Vitor Belfort in September.
Aged 58, ‘The Real Deal’ was knocked out cold in the first round by Belfort. It threatened the other veterans from entering the ring. But Tyson could make a comeback at any time for the massive paycheck that will be assured. A fight against Logan Paul will not intimidate him. So, Mike Tyson can take up the fight and make the booking official at any given point.
