When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson stood inside the squared circle after going the distance, the boxing world was in awe of the former world champion. Keeping aside the fight’s result, the fans and viewers were lauding him for the effort. However, one peculiar moment followed, and they were left seething. Why? It was all because of Logan Paul.

When asked by the interviewer about future fight plans, ‘Iron Mike’ hinted at the elder of the Paul brothers and suggested a future fight with the former WWE star. But the latter was quick to land a jab and declared, “Motherf**ker, I’d kill you, Mike!” Is he lamenting his comments now? It doesn’t look so.

Paul, 29, appeared in the latest segment of his ‘IMPAULSIVE’ podcast with his co-host Mike Majlak. When the co-host asked the former WWE star about his comment to Tyson, 58, he again confirmed his stance.

Disclosing his true nature, he said, “I really think I would… I didn’t know that [about Mike Tyson goofing around] and like, I just, I don’t know. Like, I really think I would kill him…” When Majlak told him that his one line had done enough to ruin the big moment, Logan Paul confessed, “Bro, it’s not like I find the way, Mike. It’s just me. I’m an a**hole. I’m an a**hole sometimes.”

While he admitted his comment was mean, he again stuck to his comment. The social media star from Ohio continued, “It’s Uncle Mike. I love Uncle Mike. But like bro, I’ll kill you, Mike, I’ll kill you and I don’t want to do that. Well, I shouldn’t have said motherf*****r, that was mean.”

However, there might not be another Paul vs. Tyson fight involving Logan. The fans and pros believe Tyson has done enough already and might not step inside the boxing ring again, given his health concerns and age. But the Cleveland native had his assessment of the Paul vs. Tyson fight, which he saw closely.

Logan Paul slightly disappointed with the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight

In a post-fight interview, the YouTuber-turned-professional wrestler admitted he had hoped for more action and a better fight. But that wasn’t the case. He admitted, “I actually think him not obliterating Mike; we got to see the nobility of him still stepping in the ring, and Jake got to fight a f*cking legend… I was a little personally offended that he hit Jake, and I thought Jake was going to do more than he did.”

Paul, at 1-1, has drawn curtains on his boxing career since he last fought Dillon Danis, which resulted in a DQ win for him. Meanwhile, the fans did float some theories about Tyson meeting Lennox Lewis in an exhibition fight next. But it remains to be seen whether the allure of fighting will attract Tyson back to the ring.
