Logan Paul offers to replace Mike Tyson in Jake Paul fight and loser ‘has to change their last name’
LOGAN PAUL has sensationally offered to fight his brother Jake after Mike Tyson pulled out of the bout.
The clash between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and heavyweight icon was scheduled for July 20.
But Netflix, who were set to stream the fight, confirmed it has been axed after Tyson suffered a medical emergency earlier this week.
Iron Mike was on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles when he felt nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up.
Paramedics rushed to the plane before it was later confirmed he was feeling “very good”.
However, his fight against Paul has been postponed because of doctor’s advice.
Both suggested the fight will be back on at a later date.
With Tyson out of the ring, the internet star nicknamed Problem Child is on the lookout for a new opponent.
And his older brother Logan cheekily tweeted: “So Mike Tyson’s out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all.”
Jake hit back: “Mom doesn’t want me to KO you but f*** it. Loser has to change their last name.”

Fans were excited by the Paul or nothing possibility, with one saying: “I would rather this over Mike Tyson to be honest.”
Another added: “This is low-key the grand finale of what YouTube boxing has become.”
A third commented: “This just makes sense for Netflix.”
Jake’s fight with Tyson was controversially sanctioned by the authorities as a professional bout.
He had the chance to improve his 9-1 record, with his only loss coming at the hands of Tommy Fury in February last year.
As for Logan, he has only ever had two pro fights – a win over Dillon Danis and a loss to KSI.
He did also get in the ring with legend Floyd Mayweather for an exhibition match back in 2021.
But Logan is a professional wrestler contracted to WWE.
Despite anticipation for an all-Paul clash, UFC cult hero Chael Sonnen claims he is the replacement for Tyson.
Controversial boxer Ryan Garcia also said he would “sub in” to fight Jake.
Garcia is currently embroiled in a drugs scandal for a positive test taken after his win over Devin Haney which could now be overturned.
Former super-middleweight champion Sakio Bika says he is also on standby for Jake, revealing: “If Jake Paul is serious about fighting a former champion, look for someone a lot younger or active within the last decade.
