The former undisputed heavyweight champion recently ended his 20-year retirement and went eight rounds with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

‘Iron Mike’ looked a shell of his former self as he suffered a lopsided unanimous decision defeat against a man who is 27 years old and more than three decades his junior.

Despite everything, the 58-year-old suggested he would fight again in 2025 when he called out Logan Paul immediately after suffering a defeat against the internet celebrity’s brother.Is Mike Tyson v Jake Paul free on Netflix? How to watch and stream huge boxing fight - CoventryLive

Mike Tyson was polite as he suggested a fight with ‘The Maverick’.

However, he was met with hostility from Logan Paul, who responded by aiming a fatal threat at the revered boxing legend. “I would kill you, Mike,” he said.

Former boxing world champion Amir Khan was one of the 60 million people who tuned in to Netflix to watch Tyson’s comeback. The man who fought Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford during his 40-fight career was left with a sour taste in his mouth after seeing the older Paul brother treat Tyson with such disdain.

“Would Logan Paul have said the same thing to Mike Tyson back in his twenties? No, you wouldn’t,” Khan told The Sports Daily. “So, how can you say that to a legend?Mike Tyson slaps Jake Paul during weigh-in, causing chaos ahead of Netflix fight | Sporting News India

“Mike should be very happy that he still made it to that fight. A 60-year-old guy. Mike Tyson is old, and you can’t disrespect him—he still has a young heart, young mind, but you can’t really be disrespecting a champion like that.

“And I saw Logan Paul, man, asking, ‘If you fight me, I’ll knock you out’, and it’s wrong to say that to a legend. If it was a street fight, I think it’d be a different matter. Mike Tyson would eat him alive.

“These YouTubers are all a bunch of clowns, really. They’re just hype jobs, all of them. They either want to fight people who are low below their weight class, or they want to fight someone who’s super old. Fight someone prime, fight someone at your own weight.

“These are YouTubers who were just a couple of years ago dressed up in costumes, you can’t be saying that to a champ like Mike Tyson because, at the end of the day, it disrespects the whole of the boxing community.”KSI gives bold Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson prediction as he blasts 'disgusting' fight 'will not be close at all' | The Sun

Logan Paul to fight Conor McGregor?

Mike Tyson has seemingly retired for good since calling out Logan Paul.  The WWE star is now being heavily linked to a fight with UFC legend Conor McGregor, who recently took to social media to reveal they will meet in an exhibition boxing bout, which will take place in India next year.

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but Paul has done everything he can to stir the rumors. The 29-year-old even used one of McGregor’s famous sayings during a recent WWE press event.Jake Paul, Mike Tyson Fight Viewed by 60 Million Households

 

Jake Paul has been chasing a fight with ‘Notorious’ for years. The 11-1 professional boxer reacted to the news his brother may face his dream opponent by claiming he had also been approached about the matchup.

“Now it all makes sense why Conor McGregor and his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate for a fight between us,” Jake Paul wrote on X to his 4.7million followers.

“As we told them privately & I’m now saying it publicly… The only way we’re willing to explore me vs Conor in a pro boxing / MMA fight is if Dana White / UFC are at the table directly or make it clear they are ok with discussions.  “Conor is washed. Needs the Paul’s. Logan by however he wants.”Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Was Not Fake, According to Promoter

Owens nearly found himself in hot water with Biles after almost forgetting their secret handshake, and to make matters worse, it happened while they were being filmed. Biles stood there, hand outstretched, waiting for the Bears’ safety to catch on to what they had clearly rehearsed.

Terence Crawford’s mysterious fight plan for a potential showdown with Canelo Alvarez

By
TERENCE CRAWFORD

Terence Crawford’s strategy for a potential showdown with Canelo Alvarez remains shrouded in mystery, leaving fans wondering what’s next.Terence Crawford calls out Canelo Alvarez for sensational mega fight | Boxing | Sport | Express.co.uk

Terence Crawford has kept his strategy for a potential showdown with unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in 2025 a closely guarded secret. While Crawford has expressed a strong desire for the fight, many experts question its viability due to the significant difference in weight and power between the two fighters.Branding Terence Crawford Fight “Easy Money”, Canelo Alvarez Admits David Benavidez “Is a Risk” as He Remains Adamant on $200 Million Demand - EssentiallySports

 

 

 

Crawford, renowned for his technical prowess and knockout power, has been dominant in the lighter divisions. However, his recent junior middleweight debut against Israil Madrimov raised doubts about his ability to transfer his power to higher weight classes.

Many critics argue that Terrence Crawford may be too small and underpowered to compete with Canelo at super middleweight. They suggest that rather than targeting a fight with Canelo, Crawford should focus on solidifying his dominance in his current division or gradually move up to higher weight classes, facing opponents more suited to his size and fighting style.

Speaking on Carl Froch’s YouTube channel, Crawford refused to reveal his game plan for a fight against Canelo Alvarez in 2025. “I don’t want to go in there and say I’m going to box him. When I get in the ring, I might stay in front of him. I don’t want to say I’m going to stay there in front of him when I might have to box him,” said Crawford.

An Avoidant Style or a Direct Confrontation?

For many, a head-to-head matchup between Crawford and Canelo would be the ideal scenario. However, it’s unlikely that Crawford would be willing to risk an exchange of punches with a power puncher like Canelo. Ultimately, Crawford’s strategy for facing Canelo will be pivotal in determining both the outcome of the fight and the satisfaction of the fans.

On the other hand, Terence Crawford is most comfortable at super-welterweight. To face Canelo, he would need to move up 14 pounds or negotiate a catchweight where both fighters could compete comfortably.

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois: AJ hopes to complete redemption arc with World Heavyweight Title

By
Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois

Joshua believes victory over Daniel Dubois at Wembley would finally end the difficult period he has endured since a 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz and a pair of defeats against Oleksandr Usyk.

Anthony Joshua is ready to complete his long road to redemption on Saturday as the former world heavyweight champion eyes Daniel Dubois’s IBF belt.

Joshua believes victory over Dubois at Wembley would finally end the difficult period he has endured since a 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz and a pair of defeats against Oleksandr Usyk.

The 34-year-old Briton will step into the ring on a five-fight winning streak, but insisted he would not be satisfied until he fully erases the bitter taste of his shock loss to Ruiz in New York.

“I became mentally strong when everyone went against me after Ruiz,” said Joshua, who was floored four times before being stopped in the seventh round by the Mexican-American.

“You build up a firm back, a firm chest, strong legs and you walk through it. You walk through walls and you keep proving people wrong.”

British fighter Dubois has the punching power to deny his compatriot’s dream of facing the winner of Usyk’s rematch with Tyson Fury in December.

But Joshua, who is thriving under new trainer Ben Davison, is expected to join Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield by winning a world title for the third time in front of a 96,000 crowd.

“It’s a blessing to be back. What can I say? I don’t even know how it’s come about or why, but I’m the man of the moment and I’m living in it, making the most of it,” he said.

I’m also here to do a job. I’ve got to go out there and win. I’m ready to rumble and remind everyone what I’m capable of.

“Every fight is a legacy fight for me and this is just another day at the office. I’m going to give it my best. My only message for Daniel is good luck.”

Dubois is on the rise after following up on last year’s defeat to Usyk with victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic.

Now the 27-year-old’s challenge is to prove in the ring that he is a genuine world champion after being given his belt by the IBF when Usyk decided to vacate in June.\

“It’s my job to do him in and finish him off. Enough of the talking, let’s get down to business. Let’s go to war. He’s going to bring it and I’m going to bring it.”
