Tyson encountered issues with a stomach ulcer while flying, forcing him to halt training and postpone his comeback.
In a podcast episode featuring Donald Trump, Logan revealed his readiness to step in for Tyson: “I was ready to replace Mike Tyson when he fell ill and had to postpone the fight. We actually pitched this idea to Netflix.”
Trump commented on sibling rivalry, saying “It’s tough when brothers fight.” Logan responded with financial pragmatism: “Not tough for Netflix. Not tough when the fight brings in big money. We’ll handle this. Jake and I have decided that whatever happens, we’ll accept it. But of course, I love my little brother.”
Jake is slated to face UFC fighter and current bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry soon. The two have been in continuous verbal sparring and believe the clash is inevitable.
Jake has a history of facing former UFC fighters in boxing matches, including Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Ben Askren. His venture into professional boxing began last year with a loss to Tommy Fury.
Logan’s boxing career has been less successful, with a draw against KSI followed by a loss in their Los Angeles rematch. He also faced Mayweather in an exhibition bout and held the “Undefeated” champion to a draw after 8 rounds.
This isn’t the first time Logan has offered to replace Tyson following news of a postponed fight. In early June, Logan wrote on X about the fight, wanting to fight his younger brother to salvage the match.
