Faithful squire of Jake Paul, Logan Paul, reacted strangely to the confirmation of his brother's confrontation with Mike Tyson. In an interview with 'TMZ', the digital influencer admitted to having refused an offer to face the boxing legend and pointed to the age difference as a determining factor in his refusal. The former world boxing champion returns to the ring on July 20, days after turning 58.

“I denied the fight against Mike Tyson. They asked me: 'Do you think you could win?' I said 'yes', but that's crazy. He (Tyson) is old,” Logan said.

Considered by many to be one of the best heavyweights in the history of boxing, Tyson returns to compete approximately four years after his exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. At the time, the former world champion returned to the ring after more than 15 years of inactivity.

Ready to add another legend to his list of boxing victims, Jake will face off against a true combat sports icon. In previous years, Paul has faced and beaten MMA legends such as Anderson Silva, Tyron woodley e Nate diaz.
