As he looked impressive, fans want to see him box against the likes of Jake Paul or Logan Paul.

More than anyone, the casual boxing lovers want to see the Tyson vs Jake Paul contest. News surfaced that this fight would supposedly be worth $100 million. However, on the Full Send Podcast, Tyson opened up on the reality of this $100 million contest.

‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ said, “It was all word of mouth and stuff, I don’t know.” 

Tyson further added, “I’m not even interested in doing the stuff. I’m just fine. If it was back on when it first started, yes, we were both fighting in the same card. We both actively would do it. But it just turned into, it just turned into bad.”
