Logan Paul, the internet personality and wrestler, recently sparked a wave of controversy when he confessed during an episode of his Impaulsive podcast, that he turned down a potential fight with boxing legend, Mike Tyson. The reason, as cited by Paul, being Tyson’s age and alleged senility, has ignited widespread criticism.
The Paul Brothers and their Love Affair with Controversy
Logan and Jake Paul, known for their prowess in the digital realm, also share a knack for attracting public criticism. This recent controversy involving a potential boxing match with Tyson adds yet another feather to the Paul brothers’ cap filled with both social media feats and controversies.
Logan revealed that he had declined a fight against Tyson, stating, “I just think he’s (Mike Tyson) too old…He’s senile.” He further insinuated that accepting the offer would have resulted in his victory over the 57-year-old boxer, who is past his prime.
The Fury of Fans
The fans did not take these remarks lightly. They perceived Paul’s comments as disrespectful towards Tyson, one of the greatest boxers of all time. Social media platforms were flooded with posts expressing anger and distaste for Paul’s comments.
One Twitter user even questioned, “How do people watch this scammer?” while addressing Paul. Another user expressed concern over the two brothers fighting retired boxers instead of top-ranked active ones.
Jake Paul’s Retort
Adding to the drama, Jake Paul, who is officially scheduled to tussle with Tyson, has been taken aback by Logan’s comments. He publicly disagreed with his older brother during an Instagram livestream, saying, “We’re the ones that brought the deal to Mike Tyson. So, I don’t know why he would say that,” referring to Logan’s claims.
Additionally, Jake responded to KSI, a personality associated with his brother’s business, who had cited Tyson’s age as a significant determinant for Jake’s victory. Paul retorted with a clear distinction between Tyson and KSI. He stated, “You wanna know the difference between Mike Tyson and KSI? Mike Tyson will actually fight me.”
The Paul brothers, continuously under the spotlight for their controversies, have fueled yet another heated debate amongst fans and critics alike with their recent claims. Whilst Logan has chosen to shy away from a potential fight with Tyson on grounds of the latter’s age, younger brother Jake is ready to lock horns with the boxing powerhouse. The disagreement between the brothers yet again ignited public discussions and shows no sign of dying down anytime soon.
