Internet erupts as Logan Paul calls out ‘old’ Mike Tyson

The internet has been quick to react after YouTuber Logan Paul has called out his next money grab, targeting the “baddest man on the planet”.

Mike Tyson is the world after Logan Paul's call out.

Logan Paul has been mocked online for his comments about fighting Mike Tyson.

The social media star, 26, lasted the full eight rounds in his recent exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather.

And he was feeling bullish after his performance.

When talking about what’s next on his podcast, Paul 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’.

“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.”

Paul might be confident, but fans online think that he is barmy.

One wrote: “Logan Paul’s face will be unrecognisable after two rounds with Mike Tyson …”

Mike Tyson is still one scary hombre.

While another added: “Logan Paul apparently things he can beat Mike Tyson. Possibly he could at draughts, hopscotch or rock, paper, scissors.”

A third joked: “I’ve heard Logan Paul is challenging Mike Tyson to a boxing match this time. So that’s how it feels to be punch drunk.”

Another commented: “Logan paul better make sure he has a good life insurance policy before he steps in the ring with Iron Mike …”

Logan Paul believes he can convince Mike Tyson to hug him for 8 rounds for $10 mil https://t.co/FDvj2o1jU3

So, Logan Paul wants a piece of Mike Tyson. Hmmm May I offer an alternative death wish for Logan to consider? @DeathWishCoffee#loganpaulvsmiketyson🤘🏻✏️🤘🏻

Logan Paul is a damn genius. I’m impressed that he may found another opponent I must watch. If he fights Mike Tyson I’m in. Just take my $49.99 right now. https://t.co/eFwBllw8bF

Logan Paul is money chasing. Can’t blame him. But Mike Tyson could turn him into a vegetable. Money M., at 154 pounds, knocked out Paul on his feet and held him up. Tyson would obliterate him. https://t.co/419INL9Bbx

Tyson, 54, was very complimentary after Paul fought Mayweather.

He told him on FaceTime: “You kicked his ass. You’re bad, I was wrong!

“I’m proud of you, you kicked ass, I’m proud of you. Everybody’s talking about you, you’re the man.

“You went eight rounds with the greatest of all times, I was telling people they don’t want to try that s***. You got him with those punches.”
