Eddie Hearn urges Mike Tyson to stop fighting Logan Paul. A shock bout is in the works for February

EDDIE HEARN has asked for the cancellation of Mike Tyson's showdown with Logan Paul.

According to reports, a shock bout between the former heavyweight champion and YouTuber is in the planning stages for the beginning of next year.

Hearn was shocked to see Paul participate in an unimpressive exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, but he insists he should not share the ring.

The Matchroom Boxing chief stated to The True Geordie that he preferred it to Logan and Floyd. That was a complete load of b ******s.

"I thought, "What?" You have a pound for every pound against a guy that, I mean not can't fight.

It was terrible, it was awful to watch. It shouldn't have happened, Tyson and Paul.

"But I would at the very least like to know what would happen in that fight." "I hold my hands."

Tyson, 54 years old, returned to the ring for an exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr. last November.

The Baddest Man on Earth has joked that he might not be able to outwit the older brother Paul if they trade blows.

Tyson smiled and answered the question "Maybe."

"I'm an elderly man, you know?" "I don't know what else I could do."

He said, "Anything is possible. You know."

"Because we do this, we have a great exponent charity to give to so both charities win."

Tyson, a fan favourite, revealed to SunSport last year that he will be putting on his gloves once again in February.

He stated that he would have a fight again in February, and that he was sceptical about his opponent.

"But it'll be a really stimulating enemy."

Paul, 26, is not open to the possibility of facing Tyson. However, he did admit that he was optimistic about his chances against the legend after Mayweather's win.

During an episode on his IMPAULSIVE podcast he said, "Someone mentioned Mike Tyson. Like how funny it is?

"One great at the time. Is it possible to only fight one?

My lawyer said it, and he said, "No, Tyson will rip off your head, you don’t stand a chance."

"I'm like, "bro, I just went through all this, and you can't say I can beat Mike Tyson." Bro, he is old, old.
