LOGAN PAUL revealed talks to replace Mike Tyson and fight his own BROTHER Jake in a never-before-seen bout.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake was due to face heavyweight legend Tyson on July 20 in Texas.
But the controversial clash – scrutinised for the age gap – has been postponed after Iron Mike suffered a health scare.
The fight has instead been pushed back to November 15 – but Logan seriously considered saving the day to take on his younger brother.
And the idea was even touted to Netflix as the social media sensation revealed the crazy idea to former US president Donald Trump on his podcast.
Logan said: “I was willing to step in for Mike Tyson, when Tyson got sick and had to postpone his fight. We actually ran it up the chain at Netflix.”

Trump, an ex-boxing promoter, responded: “It’s hard for brothers to fight.”
But Logan Paul added: “Not for Netflix. Not for a big ‘ole bag. Figure it out once and for all.
“Me and Jake decided that, obviously we both come from a place of love.
“And whatever the outcome would be, we would have to be okay with it. But obviously, I love my brother.”

Never before have two star brothers fought each other with the Klistchkos famously ruling it out.
Tyson, 57, was forced to withdraw after suffering an ulcer flare up when boarding a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
Doctors advised him to stop training and rest before the rescheduled date was announced.
Logan, 29, and brother Jake, 27, began boxing at the same time but have since had differing careers.
Jake is now 9-1 and has world title aspirations with his only loss coming to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, 25.
Meanwhile, Logan has boxed in exhibitions including against American icon Floyd Mayweather, 47, which went the distance.
His last bout was a disqualification victory over MMA star Dillon Danis, 30, but he has not returned to boxing since.
Instead, he is focussing on WWE where he reigns as the United States champion.
