Logan Paul believes he could give Mike Tyson a challenging fight if it ever came down to it. The YouTuber-turned-boxer claims that he could not only give Tyson a run for his money, but that he could actually beat him. Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp3W5J-gFE8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Impaulsive</a>, Logan opened up about his future plans for a career in boxing alongside his brother Jake, per <a href="https://www.insider.com/logan-paul-mike-tyson-boxing-match-2021-6?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sf-bi-ti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider</a>. Logan recalled going eight rounds with champ Floyd Mayweather - a result that surprised not only boxing fans, but boxing legends such as Tyson himself. [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp3W5J-gFE8]] Discussing who he'd go up against next in the ring, Logan said: "Someone mentioned Mike Tyson, like how funny is it? One great at a time. Or is it like you can only fight one. "My lawyer mentioned it, and he was like, 'No, Tyson will rip your head off. You don't stand a chance." He added: "I'm like, bro, I literally just went through all of this. You can't tell me I can't beat Mike Tyson. Bro, he's old, old." The 26-year-old YouTube star made headlines earlier this month for his fight against Mayweather in a boxing exhibit. The two were embroiled in a brief controversy when his brother reportedly stole Mayweather's hat during a press event and was left with a black eye from security. [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YrH5j2H-T8]] Logan later said that Mayweather was slower than he expected during their fight, before adding that he whispered things in Mayweather's ears to throw him off during the match. "That was crazy for me," he said after the match. "I knew if it went the distance, I won, technically." During a press conference, Paul said he kept a list of everyone who said Mayweather would embarrass him, including Mike Tyson. "You're all f***ed," he said. "Mike Tyson is on it. I love Mike Tyson, but he's on it. He told me on my own podcast, 'Floyd is going to beat his f***ing ass.' That's what he said. Floyd didn't beat my f***ing ass, Mike." Meanwhile, <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/sport/mike-tyson-says-he-was-impressed-by-logan-pauls-performance-against-floyd-mayweather" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyson spoke out after Logan's fight against Mayweather, admitting he was surprised at the result</a>. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/MikeTyson/status/1402017617389375491]] Per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/07/mike-tyson-logan-paul-boxing-badou-jack-floyd-mayweather-zab-judah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, the 54-year-old ex-champion shared his opinion on the YouTuber's skills in an Instagram Live video posted in the aftermath of Paul's exhibition fight. Speaking with former boxer Zab Judah in the video, Tyson stated: "I'm trying to get Logan Paul to fight Badou Jack. I wanna see what he says about that." He also congratulated Logan via Twitter, writing in a direct tweet to the influencer: "So @LoganPaul congrats you beat the odds and went 8 rounds with a legend. Now get my product @CopperGel to ease that next-day pain. [sic]" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/1401867537814626306]] Mayweather himself appeared to be surprised by how long his vlogger contender lasted in the ring, stating in a post-match interview with <a href="https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12040/12326738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sky Sports</a> that Paul was: "A great young fighter. Strong, tough." Mayweather continued: "He's better than I thought he was. He’s a tough, rough competitor. It was good action. I was surprised by him tonight; a good guy. "Even though he doesn’t have much experience, he knew how to use his weight and he knew how to tie me up tonight." <h6>Featured image credit: Image Press Agency / Alamy</h6>
