Logan Paul almost replaces Mike Tyson for epic fight against brother, Jake Paul

‘Not for Netflix. Not for a big ‘ole bag. Figure it out once and for all.’ – Logan Paul on fighting his brother Jake.

Logan Paul has disclosed that he was in talks to replace Mike Tyson and fight his younger brother, Jake Paul, in an unprecedented bout. 

The original fight between Jake and heavyweight legend Tyson, scheduled for July 20 in Texas, was postponed due to Tyson’s health scare.

The fight has been rescheduled for November 15, but Logan seriously considered stepping in to save the event. 

He revealed this wild idea to former US president and ex-boxing promoter Donald Trump on his podcast. 

"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," Logan said. 

Trump responded, "It’s hard for brothers to fight."

However, Logan was enthusiastic about the idea, stating, "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."

The concept of two star brothers fighting each other is unprecedented, with the Klitschko brothers famously ruling out such a scenario.

Tyson, 57, had to withdraw after suffering an ulcer flare-up while boarding a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. 

Doctors advised him to stop training and rest before the new date was announced.

Logan, 29, and Jake, 27, began their boxing careers simultaneously but have since followed different paths. 

Jake boasts a 9-1 record and harbors world title aspirations, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury, 25. 

Logan, on the other hand, has focused on exhibition matches, including a notable bout against American icon Floyd Mayweather, 47, which went the distance. 

His last fight was a disqualification victory over MMA star Dillon Danis, 30. 

Currently, Logan is concentrating on his WWE career, where he reigns as the United States champion.
