The world of combat sports is abuzz with excitement as boxing legend Mike Tyson recently hinted at a potential WWE clash with YouTuber turned boxer and now WWE star Logan Paul. Although the former heavyweight champion is known for his career as a boxer he has also been associated with pro wrestling for a long time. ‘Iron’ Mike made his first appearance in WWE back in 1997 after his boxing license was suspended and reportedly earned $3.5 million for his stint with the company.

Paul on the other hand has been with the WWE for almost a year now and is one of the promotion’s fastest rising stars. Although many were skeptical of him competing without any prior experience, he has proved to be a great pro wrestler. Moreover, it looks like Tyson might be interested in facing ‘The Maverick’ in a WWE match.

In a recent interview with Forbes, following the merger between the UFC and WWE, ‘Iron’ Mike was asked about this potential matchup. However, Tyson claimed that he would easily beat the YouTuber and would love to get inside the ring with him. “Have you ever seen me wrestle before? I would do it! I would kick his f***ing a*s, yes I would do it. Even though I love him though,” he said.
