Jake Paul was about to have the biggest fight of his boxing career on June 20th this year. The bout against Mike Tyson, which was supposed to stream live on Netflix, has been postponed due to a health scare. However, things aren’t all bad for the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Even in this confusing situation, Logan Paul has got his younger brother’s back.

After Mike Tyson pulled away from the fight, the WWE United States Champion uploaded a tweet, teasing a potential bout between him and his brother to keep fans entertained in the meantime. Jake Paul seems ready for it with a hefty demand.

When the fight was delayed until further notice, several fans were upset as the hype seemed to have been dying out. To keep things interesting, Logan Paul uploaded a tweet. The pro wrestler posted an old picture of himself and his brother facing off each other. Above the image, the older Paul teased a family feud between the two brothers to keep the fans entertained.

Jake Paul recently took the liberty and replied to his brother, “Mom doesn’t want me to KO you, but fuck it. Loser has to change their last name #PaulVsPaul.

The younger one demands that whoever loses the fight will have to lose the last name as well. While this demand may be a bit stretched, it has successfully gripped the attention of fans across the internet. Even if there is an increased interest to make this bout happen, would Mike Tyson’s appearance be totally canceled?

What happened to Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul?

The boxing legend was recently on a flight from Miami to Los Angelos. The 57-year-old had an ulcer flare up during his travel which led to him feeling nauseous and dizzy. While it may not be fatal, the health scare combined with the big bout coming up can prove risky for Mike Tyson. So, on the demand of fans and health experts, the bout was best delayed until further notice.

We anticipate hearing from the team earlier this June about the new updated dates for the show, although there is no confirmation yet. There is a low possibility that the date isn’t moved from the 20th of June, depending on Tyson’s health. However, a cancelation of the bout seems highly unlikely as the boxing legend himself has released a statement regarding the same.
