Logan Paul has offered to fight his brother Jake Paul after the upcoming fight with Mike Tyson was postponed.

The fight has been put on hold after Tyson had a medical emergency while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

A new date for the fight has not yet been confirmed, but in a statement Netflix, who are broadcasting the fight, said that it would be rescheduled for 'a date later this year'.

It was confirmed by Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions that Tyson would not be able to train properly due an ulcer flare up.

In the interests of fairness, both fighters and their teams agreed to postpone the fight to allow Tyson enough time to properly train once he recovers.

In the meantime however, Jake Paul's brother Logan has offered to step in so that there can still be a big boxing match until Tyson is well enough to resume training.

Logan took to Twitter to throw down the gauntlet to his brother following the announcement that the fight would be postponed.

"So Mike Tyson’s out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all," wrote Logan.

It's not the first time that the two brothers have teased that they may be entering the ring together.

Back in 2021 Logan told Access that is the pair were to fight it would be one of the most lucrative fights of all time.



Speaking to Access, the YouTuber said: “I’m a showman, so is Jake, and we had a little rivalry on YouTube that has never been matched and I don’t believe it ever will.

“Our diss tracks against each other have like 300 million views, it was like we were the two brothers that despised each other online.

“And I think we can probably make a similar wave if Jake and I ever fought each other.

“I’d go ahead and say Logan Paul versus Jake Paul would be one of the greatest, and biggest and highest grossing pay-per-view combat sports events of all time."

The fight may not have materialised back then, but could this be the opportunity for the brothers to finally step into the ring and face off?

Meanwhile, Tyson has reportedly been advised to undertake 'minimal to light training' for a few weeks before returning to full training.

A statement from Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions read: “Both Mike and Jake are in agreement that it is only fair to ensure that both athletes have equal training time to prepare for this important match and are able to compete at the highest level.

"The health and well-being of athletes is our top priority, and we fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself.”
