MIKE TYSON warned Jake Paul will get ‘beat up’ if he faces Floyd Mayweather and ruled fighting the YouTuber or his brother Logan.
All hell broke loose in Miami last week as Mayweather and Logan came face-to-face for the first time at a press conference to promote their June 6 exhibition.
But it was younger brother Jake, 24, who caused a mass melee after stealing the boxing legend’s hat.
Both the Pauls were then involved in a scuffle with Mayweather and his security entourage.
Mayweather, 44, was irate afterwards and could be heard screaming ‘I’ll kill that motherf***er’.
Tyson, 54, was asked by TMZ Sports if the Pauls had any chance of beating the boxing legend to which he said: “No. He’s gonna get beat up pretty bad.”
He was then quizzed on if he would ever fight Jake or Logan, and he replied: “No, I like those guys, man. No, I love those guys.”
Jake is 3-0 in his career and boxed on Tyson’s undercard in November, knocking out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 36, in two rounds.
Logan, 26, has had only one pro fight, losing to YouTube rival KSI, 27, in 2019 by split-decision.
His pay-per-view spectacle against Mayweather is only an exhibition and will not go on their records.
🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?
But he claimed the brawl, and threat against Jake’s life has now made the fight personal, as he denied the melee being staged.
He said: “I f***ing wish that wasn’t real. I wish that wasn’t staged. That s*** is not funny, it’s not fun for anyone.
“That s*** just got personal by default. It was supposed to be like a cute little press conference, come together, get people excited for the fight.
“Now people are talking about killing people? What the f***. “
