Logan Paul told brother Jake Paul that he would step in for Mike Tyson after the boxing legend postponed their July 20 bout, giving the fans a shot at having a fight to watch after all.
Since that debut victory over Deji, Jake fought nine more times in the ring, compiling a 9-1 record overall. That success led to an upcoming match with former world championMike Tyson.
As for Logan, he’s been just as busy, albeit with a different endeavor. The reigning WWEUnited States Championhas blossomed into one of the best in-ring performers in pro wrestling.
After news broke of Tysonpostponing his fight against Jake, ‘The Problem Child’ received asurprising challenge: A fight with his brother, Logan.
So Mike Tyson’s out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all@jakepaulpic.twitter.com/AyjmzSEWJV
Logan is Jake’s senior by two years, but his little brother has a much more extensive track record as a professional boxer.
Sure, winning aWWEchampionship is nothing to scoff at, but very few of Logan’s pro wrestling traits translate to theboxingring.
Logan (1-1-2) has a draw with the illustriousFloyd Mayweather Jr.under his belt, with the lone win on his resume came via DQ afterDillon Danis implodedlate in their match.
Jake (9-1)has been victorious in all but one of his trips to the ring, with the only blemish being a narrow split-decision loss toTommy Fury, half-brother ofTyson Fury.

While it’s a fun thought, and it would be easy to sell a brother vs brother fight, it’s unlikely that the two ever share a boxing ring as foes.
However, Jake fueled the fire byaccepting Logan’s challenge, claiming that the loser “has to change their last name.”
Still, according to Jake, he is planning to fight Tyson later in the year, but it will no longer be on the original July 20 date.
Instead,Netflix confirmedthat a decision on the rescheduled date will come “by the end of next week.”
As such, Logan will have to wait in line if he genuinely wants a crack at his younger sibling.
