Logan Paul tells Trump he provided to combat brother Jake after Mike Tyson setback
Logan Paul admitted to Donald Trump that he was prepared to fight his brother Jake Paul after his clash with Mike Tyson was postponed.
The 29-year-old – who currently reigns as the WWE United States champion – welcomed the former US President to his Impaulsive podcast earlier this week and revealed to him he was ready to clash against his younger brother next month.
Jake, 27, was scheduled to take on Mike Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas but the controversial bout was postponed until November 15. The boxing icon was forced to pull out after suffering an ulcer flare-up on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month.

While Logan’s boxing experience pales in comparison to his younger, he went eight rounds with Floyd Mayweather in their 2021 exhibition as well as coming off a disqualification win over bitter rival Dillon Danis last October.
Speaking on the podcast, the YouTuber told Trump that he discussed the possibility of challenging his brother in the ring to Netflix. “I was willing to step in for Mike Tyson, when Tyson got sick and had to postpone his fight, we actually ran it up the chain at Netflix.”

The Republican replied with: “It’s hard for brothers to fight,” before Paul responded: “Not for Netflix. Not for a big ‘ole bag. Figure it out once and for all. Me and Jake decided that, obviously we both come from a place of love. And whatever the outcome would be, we would have to be okay with it. But obviously, I love my brother.”
With Jake’s fight with Tyson having been pushed back by a number of months, the 27-year-old is reportedly set to take on ex-UFC star and current bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry next month.
