The Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul exhibition bout was a highly controversial topic throughout the sport. Many dismissed the idea of a YouTuber with no boxing experience, facing one of the best fighters in the sport’s history. Even legendary boxer, Mike Tyson, had his doubts.

Before the fight, Tyson joined Paul on an episode of his IMPAULSIVE Podcast. When ‘The Maverick’ asked ‘Iron Mike’ about his chances against Mayweather, the former champion said ‘TBE’ would destroy him. However, come fight night, it was a very different story.

Now, the 50-6 boxer called the YouTuber on FaceTime and admitted his mistake. ESNEWS posted the video on YouTube which showed Tyson telling Paul, “You kicked that n***a a**, Logan. You’re a bad n***a man. I was wrong, I was wrong. You kicked that a**. You kicked a**, n***a. There’s no doubt about it, you kicked a**.”

Based on his comments, the former heavyweight champion had no problem accepting he was wrong. Moreover, it showed that Paul’s performance surprised ‘Iron Mike.’ However, this was not all he had to say to the YouTuber. He even gave him his next challenge.

Tyson pointed the camera to former world champion Badou Jack and said, “But now we got this guy [Badou Jack] tryna challenge you.” However, this is not the first time Tyson suggested that Paul face Jack. After the bout, ‘Iron Mike’ claimed ‘The Maverick’ should test himself against the 37-year-old.
