Logan Paul Gets Dragged For Claiming He’d “Kill” Mike Tyson In A Fight

by

Last night, Jake Paul came out victorious in his highly anticipated boxing match against Mike Tyson. Of course, this has earned big reactions across social media, which are mixed. While some aren’t surprised that the social media personality got the best of the legendary 58-year-old athlete, others can’t believe it. Many are even hard at work spreading theories that the fight was rigged.

The fight itself isn’t the only thing that has social media users in shambles, however. In a post-match interview, Tyson joked that he might go head-to-head with Paul’s brother Logan next. “What? I’d kill you Mike,” he responded. Clips of the moment quickly began to circulate on X, with countless users slamming Logan for what they saw as blatant disrespect.

“Logan Paul is such an a**hole for this,” one user writes in response to the clip. “Logan Paul gets one opportunity and says the weirdest sh*t u can think of on the mic,” another says. As for how Logan feels about the fight overall, he told Betr that while he’s happy with the result, he expected his brother to do more damage.

“I wish he [Paul] would have knocked him out for slapping him, but the event is f*cking historical,” he explained. “I’m happy Jake won. I actually think him not obliterating Mike, we got to see the nobility of him still stepping in the ring and Jake got to fight a f*cking legend…I was a little personally offended that he hit Jake and I thought Jake was going to do more than he did.”

Social Media Reacts To Logan Paul Disrespecting Mike Tyson

He’s far from the only one feeling disappointed with the outcome of the fight, but still, many are praising Tyson for his performance. The Game, for example, recently took to X to come to the icon’s defense. “I see all these weird celebrities n!%%as saying Mike looked bad, this was sad & disgusting etc… yall goofy. I saw a 58 year old legend go 8 rounds with a 27 year old in front of the world in a sold out football stadium n walk away with 20 million dollars, his dignity & yet another achievement he said was only for HIM. I’m proud of you champ !!!!,” he wrote on X. Check out some reactions to Logan Paul’s remarks down below.

Jake Paul took a win over Mike Tyson in their highly anticipated and officially sanctioned boxing match on Friday (November 15) at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and shocked many within the hip-hop community as a result. For those unaware, the fight faced a delay due to Iron Mike’s ulcer flaring up, witnessed a slap at Paul at the weigh-in, and saw a lot of people allege that they fixed the match. Each boxer’s interviews and statements before the big night also caught a lot of steam online, so there were multiple reasons to be curious about this outcome.

The rap world followed suit, and a whole bunch of MCs, producers, and commentators had some strong remarks before, during, and after the match. What’s more is that some of them even had a financial investment in who was going to emerge victorious, and some weren’t lucky enough to predict it successfully. Drake, a proud and frequent gambler, lost $335K last night after betting on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul. We’re sure you can find memes about the Drizzy curse online in spades these days.

Freddie Gibbs Reacts To Mike Tyson & Jake Paul Fight

Jokes aside, Mike Tyson had made some pretty despondent comments ahead of the Jake Paul fight that also caught many’s attention. “”I don’t believe in the word legacy,” he told young reporter Jazzy’s World TV. “I just think it’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everyone grabbed onto. […] It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’ma die and it’s gon’ to be over. Who cares about legacy after that? What a big ego. ‘I want people to think I’m this, I’m great.’ No, I’m nothing. We’re just dead. We’re dust, we’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”

More Rappers React

Meanwhile, thanks to a boxing challenge from KSI, maybe Jake Paul is already thinking about who his next opponent will be. We’re sure that he and Mike Tyson will have a lot of interesting statements to make about their showdown, so let’s see how this discourse evolves.

Drake Loses $355K After Betting On Mike Tyson To Beat Jake Paul

by

Drake has taken lots of bumps and bruises in 2024. The rapper lost the biggest hip hop battle of the 21st century, despite turning in a strong effort. He lost $300K betting on Canada in the Copa America game, then $500K betting on the winner of the Stanley Cup. Well, the 6 God took another L on Friday, as Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Drake put $355K down on Iron Mike to secure the victory, but it wasn’t even close. Seriously. Paul won the match by unanimous decision.

Drake posted his betting stub in the hours leading up to the Paul vs. Tyson fight. “I’m late but I’m here money on the liiiiiiiiine for today,” he wrote on Instagram. “And tmrw @stake I need some dubs.” Well, he did not secure those dubs. Drake and fellow Young Money alumni Tyga bet big on Mike Tyson to pull an upset, and he did anything but. Fans in the crowd actually started booing during the later rounds, and it was widely inferred by many that Paul was taking it easy on Tyson out of respect. DJ Akademiks posited this on Twitter. He also decided to poke fun at Drake for losing yet another huge sports bet.

Drake Continues His Streak Of Losing Sports Bets

“Drake my mans,” Ak tweeted. “But once I seen him bet on Tyson I knew he lost.” This sentiment was echoed throughout the Twittersphere, actually. Lots of people were betting on Mike Tyson to win, and were horrified to see that the 6 God put money down on their side. The memes were plentiful, and even professional accounts like ESPN Bets got in on the fun. They posted a gif of a panicked Jon Bernthal in The Punisher under the text: “Mike Tyson bettors after seeing Drake bet on him to win.”

Other fans were more bitter in their responses. “Mike Tyson might not have won but at least Drake lost,” one of them tweeted out. Then there was a user who noted, as we did at the top, that Drizzy has really had a brutal calendar year. “Dude can’t catch a break this year,” they pointed out. We could list out the other captions that fans provided, but we think a roundup of the funniest and most notable reactions to the Drake curse would be more effective. Check out our top picks below.

Jake Paul Wins Mike Tyson Boxing Match By Unanimous Decision

by

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was touted to be one of the biggest cultural events of 2024. It was the oddest of pairings. Paul, a YouTuber and social media presence, vs. Tyson, one of the respected boxers walking the planet. Fans wanted to see Paul go down. They wanted to see a victory lap for Tyson, despite being significantly older than his opponent. Unfortunately, this did not come to pass. Jake Paul defeated Iron Mike handily on Friday, November 15.

50 Cent Creeped Out By Mike Tyson’s Latest Interview: “Keep The Kids Away”

by

50 Cent is always looking for his next roast victim online, and he’s not afraid of jabbing at some heavy hitters in the sports world. He recently called out Mike Tyson for his recent interview from Thursday (November 14) with 14-year-old reporter Jazlyn Guerra, better known as Jazzy’s World TV. The boxing legend was asked about his legacy ahead of his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. “I don’t believe in the word legacy,” he revealed. “I just think it’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everyone grabbed onto. […] It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’ma die and it’s gon’ to be over. Who cares about legacy after that?

“What a big ego. ‘I want people to think I’m this, I’m great.’ No, I’m nothing. We’re just dead. We’re dust, we’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.” When Jazzy’s World TV thanked him for his unique and curious answer, Mike Tyson doubled down. “Can you really imagine somebody saying: ‘I really want my legacy to be this way’ […] you’re dead?” he continued.  “You think someone really wants to think about you? Where’s the audacity? ‘I want people to think about me when I’m gone.’ Who the f**k cares about me when I’m gone?” This rubbed 50 Cent the wrong way.

50 Cent Roasts Mike Tyson For Jazzy’s World TV Interview

“Got Damn it !” 50 Cent captioned an Instagram repost of this interview moment while praising Jazzy’s World TV for her… We’d guess “professional” is probably what he meant to write. “Mike ya scaring the kids, WTF chill. Note to self, keep the kids away from Mike. @jazzysworldtv very precessional baby.” Of course, when compared to some of Fif’s other social media jabs, this seems like light work.

All in all, though, we’re sure that 50 Cent is just toying with Mike Tyson, as they have somewhat of a previous relationship. The G-Unit mogul actually purchased Tyson’s mansion back in the day and had a hilarious story of the move-in experience. Maybe this was a little too heavy of an answer for the moment. But Jazzy’s World TV is a great journalist, so it’s no surprise she took it in stride.

50 Cent Is Stunned (And A Little Concerned) By Mike Tyson’s Dark Answer To A Teen’s Question About Legacy

Tonight, November 15, is the much-publicized boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Ahead of the fight, which will stream on Netflix, Iron Mike was asked by internet-famous teen reporter Jazlyn Guerra, a.k.a. Jazzy’s World TV, for his thoughts on legacy. He took it very seriously.

“Well, I don’t know. I don’t believe in the word ‘legacy,’” Tyson replied. “I just think that’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everybody grabbed onto. Someone said that word, and everyone grabbed on the words, and now it’s used every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’mma die, and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?”

Tyson somehow wasn’t done. “What a big ego,” he continued. “So I’mma die. I want people to think that I’m this, I’m great. I’m, no. We’re nothing. We’re just dead. We’re dust. We’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”

Guerra responded to Tyson’s stream-of-consciousness existentialism with a polite “thank you so much for sharing that,” but 50 Cent had another takeaway. “G*ddam it! Mike ya scaring the kids, WTF chill,” the rapper wrote on X. “Note to self, keep the kids away from Mike.”

Mike Tyson Is Shredded In New Photo Ahead Of Jake Paul Fight

by

On Thursday afternoon (Nov. 14), TMZ shared a photo of Mike Tyson in amazing shape as he weighed in for his anticipated fight against Jake Paul on Friday (Nov. 15). The 58-year-old icon is defying age and expectations with a shredded frame to match his well-known punching power. The Baddest Man on the Planet stood alongside his 27-year-old opponent, Jake Paul, emphasizing that age hasn’t dulled his edge or commitment to the sport. While the fighters have already weighed in, the official weigh-in is scheduled for 5 P.M. central at the Toyota Music Factory in Dallas, Texas.

The upcoming fight marks Iron Mike’s return to the ring after four years. Although Tyson last fought in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr., that event was only an exhibition. This time, he’s stepping in for a true professional bout against a much younger opponent. In stark contrast to his usual exhibition matches, Tyson seems particularly invested, hinting to fans that this showdown might be, as he put it, “the biggest in the history of life.”

Tyson Is In His “Ultra Form” For Jake Paul Fight

Iron Mike’s health has been questioned the entire campaign. He is a -200 underdog in the upcoming fight. Critics believe that Tyson will fatigue by Round 3. Paul’s overhand right has knocked out most of his opponents. In several interviews, Tyson doesn’t recognize as a “real fighter.” At Wednesday’s press conference, Paul promised the fight would end in a knockout. Tyson refutes the claim by promising to knock out Paul and continue his boxing career.  

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul makes history as Netflix’s first live event. The heavyweight fight occurs on Friday evening at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The undercard includes the rematch between super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and featherweight champion Amanda Serrano. The rematch is for the undisputed title. With a Netflix subscription, boxing fans can watch the event for free.

KSI Challenges Jake Paul To A Fight After His New Song Gets Roasted

by

No, KSI and Jake Paul have not boxed each other before. You’d be forgiven for making that mistake, though. KSI boxed Jake’s older brother, Logan, in a highly-publicized 2018 match. Jake Paul was on the undercard, and he actually fought KSI’s younger brother, Deji. KSI vs Jake Paul is a concept that’s been floated for several years, however, with both sides voicing a desire to make it happen. It just never has. Both men have been busy with their own careers. Jake Paul is gearing up to fight Mike Tyson, so we get why KSI is not high on his priority list. Well, at least he wasn’t.

When KSI isn’t streaming or boxing, he’s recording music. He just dropped a new song with Trippie Redd titled “Thick of It,” and despite the famous feature, it has not performed well. The internet has lit up KSI’s latest offering. It’s easy to see why. “Thick of It” lacks any real song structure, and consensus is that KSI raps about as convincingly as Ed Sheeran (not a compliment). Jake Paul couldn’t resist getting in on the roast session. He tweeted a bait-and-switch punchline that his social media peer didn’t like. “Thank you KSI my hero,” Paul’s tweet read. “My 83 year old grandpa hasn’t been able to walk in years. But when you released this song… He finally stood up and turned this sh*t off.”

KSI Didn’t Take Kindly To Jake Paul’s Trolling

Not the most original insult, but an effective one. KSI did not waste any time firing back at Jake Paul and issuing a challenge to him. “Looks like you’ve got your next opponent lined up then,” he tweeted back in response. KSI vs Jake Paul is something that fans have mostly given up on. It’s been teased for so long that there’s actually a Wikipedia article dedicated to their “proposed” bout. Both men know that it would net them massive paydays, though, so perhaps the wheels are already in motion.

It’s worth noting that KSI discussed the idea of fighting Jake Paul recently. He appeared on the Logan Paul podcast Impaulsive, and made it clear he still wants to throw hands. The younger Paul has focused on fighting the aforementioned Tyson, but Logan proposed a solution. He told KSI that both men should attend his wedding and settle it once and for all at the ceremony. “I’ll invite you, I’ll invite Jake and we’ll just settle it bro, I’ll be okay with that.” We’ll see if the fight actually comes to fruition soon!

Ryan Garcia Responds To Devin Haney’s Battery & Fraud Lawsuit

by

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney have a pretty explosive and scandalous rivalry, and their fight earlier this year in April continues to haunt them. Garcia won that bout, but officials later ruled it a no-contest due to his ingestion of the performance-enhancing drug ostarine. This week, Haney filed suit in New York, accusing his opponent of battery and fraud both before and during their match-up. He pursues unspecified damages and maintains that “his contest should have adhered to fair rules.” “While Devin Haney agreed to participate in a prize fight against Garcia, at no time did he agree to engage in a bout against an individual who had taken a performance-enhancing drug,” the lawsuit reportedly reads.

Now, Ryan Garcia has responded to Devin Haney’s lawsuit via an Instagram post. “I’m being sued for doing my job,” he wrote. “This fight has been a Netflix documentary but this right here is the finale. Your honor he simply struggles with left hook syndrome.” As for the fraud element of this debacle, Haney claims that Garcia “tried to make weight and failed” when it came to his pursuit of Haney’s WBC junior welterweight title.

Ryan Garcia’s Response To Devin Haney’s Lawsuit

In addition to Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney’s lawsuit also accuses Golden Boy Promotions of breach of contract concerning these circumstances. Haney claims the situation provoked “physical injury, reputational harm worth millions, and emotional and mental distress.” Previously, he had reacted to Garcia’s suspension from boxing. “I want to thank the commission and the fans who stood by me during this whole process,” Haney told ESPN. “The facts are the facts, and I wasn’t on an even playing field. Happy I was able to receive justice for what happened. It’s all part of my story and it’s only going to make me better. I look to enjoy this time with my family and friends and see what’s next.

“I’m a clean athlete and boxing is a brutal sport where one fight can literally change your life,” Devin Haney added concerning the Ryan Garcia situation. “I think it’s important for fighters to be clean, and I want to become an advocate for clean athletes for my experience in this situation.”

Devin Haney Sues Ryan Garcia For Alleged Fraud & Battery Over April Fight

by

These two boxers have made their disdain for each other crystal clear. The latest update in the Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia rivalry is the former’s new lawsuit against the latter for alleged battery and fraud on the journey to – and during – their April match at Barclays Center, per TMZ Sports. Haney allegedly filed the suit in New York on Friday (September 27). For those unaware, Garcia initially won that bout after multiple knockdowns, but officials called it a no-contest after they found evidence that Garcia used performance-enhancing drugs for it. Therefore, Haney says that he would not have agreed to the fight if he knew of these enhancements, and thus feels defrauded.

In addition, Devin Haney posited that Ryan Garcia’s ingestion of the drug despite his agreement to fight clean led to Garcia making various misrepresentations. The nature of these is unclear, although Haney said that they would’ve caused him to call the fight quits. But Garcia isn’t the only defendant in this situation. Haney also sued Golden Boy Promotions for alleged breach of contract. Haney seeks unspecified damages for how the situation inflicted “physical injury, reputational damage which will amount to millions of dollars, and emotional and mental distress.”

As of writing this article, it seems like neither Ryan Garcia nor Devin Haney have publicly addressed this lawsuit or the claims within. Elsewhere, though, they have plenty of other matters to jab each other over. For example, Garcia recently called the Diddy scandal a “very serious matter” despite how he trolled Haney for his alleged connection to the Bad Boy executive. As far as a response from Haney, this new lawsuit certainly answered that question.

However, there’s a chance that Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney could settle this the old-fashioned way: with another clean, sanctioned, exciting boxing match. The latter’s promoter wants to make it happen, or at least, that was the plan prior to Garcia’s expulsion from the World Boxing Council for a recent racist rant. As such, the future is uncertain when it comes to a potential round two. We’ll see what the next clash looks like…
