With Jake Paul’s boxing match against Mike Tyson in doubt, reports have indicated that the fighter-influencer is looking for a replacement fight to compete in this summer. In addition to UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, other opponents have been discussed, with one particularly interesting option brought up by Logan Paul on “Impaulsive.”

“I was ready to replace Mike Tyson, when Tyson got sick,” Paul said. “We actually moved it up the chain at Netflix.”

If the Paul brothers stepped into a boxing ring together, it would be their very first time in a real fight. According to Logan, the two never fought growing up, although he noted that he once punched Jake in the face for stealing his glasses. Laughing, Paul said it wouldn’t be hard to convince them to make this happen if a Netflix paycheck was involved.

“Jake and I decided that obviously we both came from a place of love, and whatever the outcome, we should accept it,” Paul continued. “But obviously I love my brother.”

The upcoming boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was recently delayed due to Tyson’s ulcer flare-up during a flight last month, forcing him to stop training. There is some doubt as to whether the match will take place, although Netflix currently has the boxing special scheduled for Friday, November 15.

It remains to be seen if Paul will compete in another fight in the coming days, but it doesn’t appear that a battle between brothers is on the cards at this time. While Jake solidifies his next move, Logan is coming off a loss to Cody Rhodes at WWE King & Queen of the Ring last month. Since then, Paul has entered into a feud against LA Knight on “WWE SmackDown.”
