Mike Tyson had a tough time in the ring against YouTuber Jake Paul, losing for the seventh time in his big boxing career.
At 58 years old, Mike didn’t look like the powerful champ he used to be. He tried really hard through eight short rounds but only landed 18 punches, said the punch counters.
Even though the fight didn’t go his way, Mike said he’s not ready to quit boxing just yet.

Mike Tyson Challenges Logan Paul After Falling to Jake
The big fight at the super full AT&T Stadium in Texas didn’t make the crowd of 80,000 super happy. Mike Tyson couldn’t fight like he used to when he was called the “Baddest Man on the Planet.”
But guess what? The fights before were super exciting. Katie Taylor, who’s like a boxing queen, won a really close fight with Amanda Serrano. Then Mario Barrios, the champ, had a big battle with Abel Ramos, and it ended in a tie.
Everyone was waiting for the main fight, though, and Jake Paul won, even if some people didn’t think it was fair.
Right after the judges said Jake Paul won, Mike Tyson surprised everyone! Instead of stopping, he said he wanted to fight Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, who’s also a big WWE star.
When someone asked if he was done boxing, Tyson shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Maybe I’ll fight his brother.”
Mike Tyson refuses to rule out retiring from boxing for good after the Jake Paul defeat: “I don’t think so. Maybe [I’ll fight] his brother.”

Is Logan Paul Next for Mike Tyson?
Most people think Mike Tyson shouldn’t fight anymore. But guess what? He said he wants to fight Logan Paul next.
Logan didn’t like that idea at all. Standing right next to Mike, he shook his head and said, “I’d kill you, Mike.”
“Motherf*cker I’d kill you”

That’s a pretty big no.
Logan Paul fought Floyd Mayweather in 2021, but after watching Tyson’s fight, even he realizes that facing Mike would be too much.
