Over the past few days, the news of Logan Paul battling the boxing icon Mike Tyson has been doing the rounds on social media. This is an unusual matchup in its own way, but since the sport is observing a trend of exhibition bouts, the Tyson vs Paul fight might come to life soon. There’s no tentative timeline for this fight yet, however, it might materialize by February 2022.

Paul and Tyson are yet to confirm this news officially from their end and fans are keenly waiting to hear something from the pair. In between all this, Logan Paul recently reunited with his old coach, Milton Lacroix. With this, the news of him fighting Tyson has turned hotter than before.

Logan Paul, in a fresh video with Lacroix, said, “We f**kin back. Back in business, bro!”

Lacroix is the same coach who trained Logan Paul for his last exhibition bout against ‘TBE’ Floyd Mayweather.  The Mayweather vs Paul fight was in contention from the beginning of this year, and Paul began his preparations for this bout from a considerable while.

As a result, this fight finally came to life in June this year.

Paul fared well in this epic clash. He had little stamina left towards the end of the contest because he pushed all his gears in the first few rounds themselves.

Overall, he showed a packed offense and defense to keep ‘Pretty Boy’ on the toes throughout. Moreover, the fight even went the distance, with no one expecting the bout to go all the way.
