Logan Paul told Netflix he’d fight brother Jake and step in for Mike Tyson

Logan Paul has confessed to Donald Trump that he's up for a bout with his sibling Jake Paul after the anticipated fight with Mike Tyson was delayed.

The 29-year-old, who currently holds the WWE United States championship title, had Trump on his Impaulsive podcast and disclosed his readiness to go head-to-head with his younger brother in the coming month.

Paul, aged 27, was set to face off against Tyson on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, but the contentious match has been pushed back to November 15. Tyson had to withdraw due to an ulcer flare-up during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month. Despite Logan's boxing record being less illustrious than his brother's, he managed to last eight rounds against Floyd Mayweather in their 2021 exhibition match and recently secured a disqualification victory over arch-enemy Dillon Danis in October.

On the podcast, Logan revealed to Trump that he had proposed stepping into Tyson's shoes to Netflix. "I was willing to step in for Mike Tyson, when Tyson got sick and had to postpone his fight, we actually ran it up the chain at Netflix," he said.

Trump commented: "It's hard for brothers to fight," to which Paul retorted: "Not for Netflix. Not for a big 'ole bag. Figure it out once and for all. Me and Jake decided that, obviously we both come from a place of love. And whatever the outcome would be, we would have to be okay with it. But obviously, I love my brother."

Jake's bout with Tyson has been delayed for several months, and it is now reported that the 27-year-old will face former UFC star and current bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry next month. He seems to be maintaining his trend of boxing ex-UFC fighters, having previously faced and triumphed over Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Ben Askren.

Despite the scepticism from many in the boxing world, including Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn, he remains confident about his goal of becoming a world champion in the combat sport.
