Logan Paul, the 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-wrestler, seems to be on a relentless pursuit of challenges, taking on some of the biggest names across the combat sports. Recently, he made an audacious claim that Nate Diaz was meant to be his next opponent, but the ex-UFC fighter is ‘running’ from him, which drew criticism from many. However, that didn’t stop Logan Paul from calling out other fighters, and now, he has set his sights on the current WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.
In a bold move, the 0-1 boxer has called out the seasoned Fury, even going as far as to explain why he thinks he has a chance against him. Although the famed YouTuber has shared the boxing ring with arguably the greatest boxer today, Floyd Mayweather, but for an exhibition match. Hence, it’s still quite audacious to call out someone like Tyson Fury. And this brazen attitude has not gone unnoticed, and the UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping has been quick to lash out at him.

During an interview with Ariel Helwani, Logan Paul named Tommy Fury as his next potential opponent if Nate Diaz fight is scrapped. However, Helwani suggested that it would be an even more compelling story if Logan took on Tyson Fury instead, considering that his brother, Jake Paul, received his first loss from Tyson’s brother, Tommy.
In response, the 28-year-old confidently stated, “I would fight Tyson[Fury] in an MMA fight… I really would.”
He even put forth why he feels he has the upper hand, “I don’t care how big he is, bro. If you have not wrestled or done any groundwork, I don’t care how big you [are]- You better land the first two punches that you throw, and it better knock me out. Otherwise, I’m taking you to the ground, taking your back, and choking you out.”
