LOGAN PAUL confirmed talks with Mike Tyson, and stated that he would fight the heavyweight icon to'shut people up the f***'.
Rumours abound that the YouTube star and boxing icon are in negotiations for an exhibition bout in February.
Logan Paul confirmed talks to Mike Tyson
Paul acknowledged that there had been tentative talks in the past but it wasn't something he was looking forward to.
After seeing the reactions of his fans who predicted Tyson's demise 29 years ago, Tyson is now ready to prove that doubters wrong.
Paul said to SecondsOut, "As of right now, there's nothing. I mean, we've been kinda talking about it, and it's been kinda possible for a bit.
"It's been pinched. Then rumours began to circulate, but we didn't say much and it was confirmed that it wasn’t happening.
"I was reading the tweets and social commentary and everybody was saying, "Tyson would F***ing Kill Logan".
"So, a fight I hadn't initially considered, it's now like people don't believe that I would win. This is actually offensive.
"And then I got upset, and now I'm thinking about it just to shut people up.
"It's absurd that people think I can beat Mike Tyson."
Paul, 26, has only boxed three times previously. The first was in a white collar fight against KSI (28), which ended in a draw.
They became professional a year later and the American lost the rematch in a scrappy split-decision.
Paul returned to the ring only this June for an incredible show against Floyd Mayweather (44), who gave away TWO STONE.
After Mayweather failed to score a knockout, the bout was over without a winner.
Tyson, 55 years old, resigned in November after 15 long years and drew in an eight-round exhibition with Roy Jones Jr.
The Baddest Man on The Planet, a former Baddest Man on The Planet, has announced that he will fight again. His second bout is scheduled for February.
Paul is hesitant about taking on the Iron Mike after Evander Holyfield, 58, lost his fight with Vitor Belfort (44), in September.
He stated, "What's your f***ing win? He said, "What's the f***ing win here?" I am proving everyone wrong by saying, "Yeah!
"Like a legend, whom I love and respect deeply is sitting on the ground. I mean, how much is that worth? F*** this."
