A wild new rumor suggests that WWE is interested in a future match between Mike Tyson and the brother of his recent opponent, Logan Paul.
Over the weekend, Mike Tyson was again one of the biggest stories in the world. It is something fight fans were very familiar with during the 1980s and 90s. However, this time the vibes were not positive as the 58-year-old looked his age in a boring loss to YouTuber turned-boxer Jake Paul.

However, Paul took much of the heat for fighting a man 30 years older. And the grey beard legend was showered with praise for taking on such a tough challenge at an advanced age. While his boxing days are likely over the shape he was in showed that he still might have worthwhile athletic endeavors left in him.
And it seems, WWE may be interested in squeezing out Tyson’s last drops of athletic relevancy for their company in the near future.
Is a Logan Paul vs. Mike Tyson wrestling match or fight on the horizon?
On a new edition of the Wrestle Votes Live Q&A this week, the popular wrestling rumors outlet alleged that WWE has “interest” in doing something with Mike Tyson and Logan Paul.
Paul is the brother of Jake and one of the company’s biggest crossover stars. A situation where they could play off November’s fight and parlay it into Tyson facing the other Paul brother in a wrestling match or a staged “fight” makes a lot of sense. However, Tyson won’t come cheap. And that is why a potential matchup likely would be saved for WrestleMania 41 next April.
Obviously, Mike Tyson has to be open to the idea. But “Iron” has long had a relationship with WWE — dating back to WrestleMania 14 — and is a lifelong fan of pro wrestling. So finally getting into the ring for a match while he is still in good shape is a realistic possibility. Especially with WWE as popular as ever.
