Mike Tyson and the Paul brothers are in boxing storylines for years regarding their highly anticipated contest. Recently, Tyson said he’d be interested in a fight with Jake Paul when he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Unfortunately, they could not illustrate the reasons that are pulling them back from materializing this showdown. Both parties have expressed frequently that they are interested, but there seems to be nothing concrete about this alleged bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
The recent post by ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ indicated that this is the right time for the collision.

The 55-year-old took to Instagram and shared a short video clip. In which he filmed himself saying, “I’m gonna talk to Logan Paul today. I trained pretty good. Anything is possible, anything is possible. I feel great.”
In the caption, he wrote, “Have questions? Want me to break down your boxing technique? I am all ears on fans.miketyson.com.”
This time Tyson came up with the name of WWE sensation Logan Paul. Earlier, he had shown interest in squaring off with the younger Paul.
What did Mike Tyson say about fighting with Jake Paul?
After facing repeated questions about his probable clash with the social media star Jake Paul, ‘Iron’ Mike finally made it clear on a talk show with Jimmy Kimmel. First, he praised ‘The Problem Child’ for making an amazing contribution to the sport by bringing a very different fan base. Comparing him with the world champions, Tyson claimed that the Ohio-based boxer has a bigger following than most champions.
Moreover, Tyson applauded the skills of the YouTuber turned boxer. According to Tyson, the 25-year-old thrashed those pugilists who were not supposed to lose against him. On the question of taking a shot against ‘The Problem Child’, Tyson responded, “That could be very interesting. He is skilled enough and I will give it to him because he is winning.”
