Mike Tyson Seems to Change Tune on Fighting Logan and Jake Paul, Sets Massive Prize

Mike Tyson says he will go head-to-head with Logan Paul or Jake Paul for the right amount of money. Tyson is looking for a $100 million paycheck. He made the revelation during his latest episode of Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson. “Hell yeah,” Tyson told rapper Freddie Gibbs asked if he’d box the two YouTube sensations. “That would be a lot of money.”

But Tyson prefers to box Logan than Jake. It may be due to Paul being slightly heavier in size. Whether or not Logan would be up for it is the question. But Tyson thinks so. He told Gibbs, “For $100 million bucks, they’d do anything. They don’t care about getting beat up.”
