Rumors suggest Logan Paul will challenge ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ Mike Tyson in February 2022. After securing a draw against Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition clash in June, Paul had fired shots at ‘Iron’. He claimed he could beat a 55-year-old Tyson, pinpointing his advantage of youth and activeness.

The idea attracted a lot of attention, and Tyson seemingly passed a green signal to it, if offered an exceptional payday. But nothing seems to be official as of now. Meanwhile, former UFC champion Michael Bisping has already predicted a misfortune for Paul if he collides with Mike Tyson.

‘The Count’ pictured the fight in his podcast and said, “Afterwards, Logan Paul is going to the hospital for a CAT scan. He is going to spend the night in whatever city’s hospital it’s going to be in. Because he is going to hit the canvas face-first and go to sleep. Mike Tyson is going to cut the edge if he is going to get him in the corner. And once he gets him in the corner, he is not going to f*** around.”

Irrespective of the claims, Tyson may have to take into account the harsh reality with this match with Logan Paul that he is way past his prime, and despite looking good against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, he could be risking a lot in a potential scrap against Logan Paul.

26-year-old Paul shocked the world by standing toe-toe-against Floyd Mayweather in June, the fight that ended in a draw. It clearly strengthens his ground in combat sports. Meanwhile, a win against Tyson shall take it to new heights. But it will also put Mike Tyson’s entire legacy at stake.
