Back in 2021, both Logan Paul and Mike Tyson were trying to see if a boxing exhibition match between them would be possible. Even though Jake Paul is the one who seems to be taking this career path more seriously, it was Logan Paul the one who fought a boxing legend. He dared to jump into the ring with none other than Floyd Mayweather Jr. After the taste of that experience, Logan Paul started to actively search for the chance to fight Mike Tyson. Although recently, he signed a new contract with the WWE and has been putting on shows for wrestling fans across the country. A area Mike Tyson is very fimiliar with, he was already a guest in WWE's Wrestlemania in 1998.

Mike Tyson gave Forbes an interview this past weekend and spoke about the chances Logan Paul has to fight him. He spoke about the WWE and that boxing fight that never happened. Here's what he said: "Have you ever seen me wrestle before? I would do it! I would kick his ass, yes I would do it. Even though I love him, though. This is what I found out about WrestleMania: Everybody says 'that's fake, that's fake.' But the check is real. Deep down inside-don't let [WWE] know-I would do this for free. I don't think he's really that serious [about a boxing match], but I'm just happy he's receiving the success that he has. For my ego, I feel I had so much to do with that."

Before his 1998 Wrestlemania debut, Tyson teased fans in a Monday Night Raw episode. He was paid $3 million for his Wrestlemania appearance that year. Tyson returned to a Monday Night Raw in 2010 and he was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012. Mike Tyson has far more WWE history than Logan Paul has but a fight between them would be an instant box office success. Should they reach an agreement soon, fans will certainly turn this into their most anticipated events in 2023 and one of the most important in the network's history.
