Mike Tyson leaves Jake Paul’s brother Logan stunned with call after sad loss to YouTuber-turned-fighter
Mike Tyson followed up with his final defeat Jake Paul by calling out his brother Logan in a bizarre post-fight exchange.
During a dismal match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tyson managed to hear the final bell, but only after showing all his 58 years against 27-year-old Paul.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion and boxing legend staggered around the ring for most of the eight rounds as he struggled to come to grips with the speed and athleticism of the younger man, who at times almost seemed to be taking it easy.
And despite losing a unanimous decision that night, Tyson hinted he would still be willing to return to the ring in the future – even shouting Paul’s older brother Logan in his face.
When asked who he might hire next, “Iron” Mike said, “I don’t know, maybe his brother…”
A stunned Logan could be seen looking completely bewildered before making his feelings about a possible fight with the fights very clear.

Tyson was convincingly defeated by Paul in a dismal match at AT&T Stadium on Friday
“Motherf****r, I would kill you Mike,” the WWE star responded.
Tyson’s demoralizing defeat sucked the life out of a packed AT&T Stadium, where nearly 80,000 fans attended hoping he could turn back the years and topple the Internet sensation.
Ultimately, his age and mileage proved to be too much of a factor, with Paul appearing to take his foot off the accelerator for long periods while a vulnerable older legend was there for the taking.
When asked to rate Paul’s talent, Tyson admitted: ‘Very good fighter. Absolute.’
Fans thought they discovered a problem for Tyson when he was seen biting his glove repeatedly as he moved toward Paul during each of the eight rounds.
But he clarified: “I have a habit of biting my glove when I fight, yes.” Journalist Ariel Helwani highlighted this topic, adding, “I have a biting fixation.” Helwani joked, “I heard about that…I don’t want to know more.”
As the fight came to a close and Tyson’s comprehensive defeat was all but confirmed, disheartened fans began heading for the exits in their thousands. By the time the final bell sounded and the two men embraced, loud cheers rang through the stadium.
Having come hoping to see their former sporting hero turn back the years and defy the odds like never before, the nearly 80,000 attendees would all have felt ripped off after a farcical encounter that was perhaps always destined to turn out this way to play.
